My ensuite and loo are finished at last and my thoughts are turning to
kitchens, smug spurred on by the £95 ex display kitchen I bought
from MFI /smug

There seem to be three types of cooker hood
- Pad to catch the grease. Yuk
- Extract to outside. Sounds much better. c£150
- Automatic extract to outside. c£900

I would like an automatic one, which senses something (heat, moisture,
movement ???) and turns itself on and off accordingly, but £700 is far
too much to pay for a couple of sensors

How difficult would it be to buy a manual extract cooker hood and
retrofit it with the sensors? I have no experience at all of
electronics so dont know if I am asking for the moon or not

Also ...

Does anyone have comments on what design (shape, colour) of unit is
good. The thin flat bar ones look to me like they are designed to take
the eye out but maybe I am worrying unnecessarily. I am not a fan of
daily polishing so maybe not stainless steel - I want something which
will look good (not perfect) if it gets just an occasional wipe down
