{"product_id":"lamona-lam2853-45cm-black-island-cooker-hood","title":"Lamona LAM2853 45cm Black Island Cooker Hood","description":"\u003cp\u003eA black pendant extractor that hangs over an island like a light fitting rather than looking like an appliance. It is a compact cube on a drop, height-adjustable anywhere between 364mm and 1300mm, and it is as much a decorative object as an extractor — which is the reason to buy it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree speeds plus a boost, two 1W LEDs at 4000K cool white, and a washable grease filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy you cannot buy this direct.\u003c\/strong\u003e Lamona is Howdens' own brand and Howdens sell only to trade account holders. We hold the account, so you can buy the same appliance without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRead this first — two things Howdens' own listing gets wrong\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. It cannot be ducted outside. This is a recirculating hood only.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' specification says \u003cem\u003eVenting Type: Recirculated\u003c\/em\u003e, and their installation manual is explicit: “This appliance is designed for internal air recirculation and therefore does not require or use external ducting.” Their separate spec sheet muddies this by printing an outlet spigot diameter, a ducting kit diameter and a ducted airflow range — we believe those are inherited template fields, because the manual that ships in the box says the opposite. \u003cstrong\u003eBuy this only if you are happy to recirculate.\u003c\/strong\u003e If you need to vent outside, tell us and we will point you at a hood that does.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. It is 420mm wide, not 45cm.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' page title says 45cm. Their own specification says 420mm, and their dimensioned spec sheet confirms 420mm wide by 420mm deep. It is a 42cm pendant. We have kept Howdens' title above so you can match this listing to their catalogue, but plan your island around 420mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct code: LAM2853\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 420mm · Depth: 420mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: adjustable 364–1300mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtraction, recirculated: 310–370 m³\/h (see the note below)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds: 3 plus boost\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise, recirculated: 68dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnergy rating: A · Annual energy consumption: 54.2 kWh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFan efficiency: class A · Grease filtering efficiency: class C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLights: 2 × 1W LED, 4000K cool white\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl: push button\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum input power: 272W · Amperage: 1.2A · 220–240V, 50\/60Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMains lead: 1.5m · Wiring: hard wired, no plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrease filter: 1 × washable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 12kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied with: fixings and instruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccreditations: CE marked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCeiling mounted on an adjustable drop. There is no ducting to run, which is what makes a pendant practical over an island in the middle of a room — but it also means the air is filtered and returned rather than removed, so carbon filters matter more here than on a ducted hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThree more things on Howdens' own data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe carbon filters may or may not be in the box.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' page and spec sheet both say \u003cem\u003eCarbon Filter: Required for Recirculation — Included\u003c\/em\u003e, and list 2 non-washable carbon filters. Their installation manual says carbon filters are “supplied separately” and can be ordered from a Howdens depot as part LAM2004. We cannot reconcile those, so we are not promising filters are included. Ask us before you order and we will confirm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe extraction figures do not agree.\u003c\/strong\u003e Howdens' page shows a boost of 720 m³\/h; their own spec sheet caps this hood at 600 m³\/h. In recirculating mode — the only mode the manual supports — the published range is 310–370 m³\/h, which is what we have quoted. We would rather quote the conservative figure than the flattering one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHowdens' description says “four fan speeds”.\u003c\/strong\u003e Their specification says three plus a boost, and the manual describes speeds 1, 2 and 3. It is three speeds and a boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne last note for anyone searching: Howdens' model number field for this product reads \u003cem\u003eLAM2583\u003c\/em\u003e, digits transposed, and the transposition is carried into their own spec sheet.
