CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm

Is the CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm worth buying?

The CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm is worth buying at £99.99 if your hob sits under a low cupboard or in a flat with no route to an outside wall, because the pair of CBCF002X2 carbon filters comes in the box rather than as a separate order. It leans back from the wall instead of hanging over the pans, runs at 57 dB and moves 380 m³/h, and 6,209 owners rate it 4.2.

The money buys quiet and included parts more than raw suction. The £49.99 COMFEE' 60cm Chimney Black pulls 400 m³/h, 20 m³/h more, and costs £50 less, but it runs at 67 dB and wants its carbon filter bought separately. You pay the difference for 10 dB and for filters already in the box.

How much extraction does the CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm deliver?

The hood moves 380 m³/h through three push-button speeds, driven by a 70 W motor with an A++ energy rating, and the angled front puts the intake closer to the pans than a pyramid body does. On a 60cm hob that figure clears frying, boiling and a oven door opened mid-roast.

Per pound it works out at £26.31 for every 100 m³/h (£99.99 ÷ 3.80), which is £13.81 more than the £12.50 of the 400 m³/h COMFEE' 60cm Chimney Black. Per decibel the balance flips: 380 m³/h across 57 dB gives 6.7 m³/h for each decibel, against 6.0 m³/h per decibel for that COMFEE' at 67 dB, so the CIARRA is the one you can live with at full speed.

What comes in the box with the CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm?

Everything needed to hang it and start cooking arrives together: the hood, a wall bracket, a bag of screws, power plugs and a manual, plus a plastic exhaust ducting pipe that runs 1.5 m for ducted installs and the two CBCF002X2 carbon filters for recirculating. Nothing else has to be ordered before the first meal.

It measures 60 cm wide, 40 cm deep and 75 cm high and weighs 8.1 kg, which is 2.7 kg less than the 10.8 kg TopStrong 60cm A+++ Hood. The body is powder-coated black steel with tempered glass on the angled face, the controls are push buttons across the front and the cooking light is LED. Two years of parts and labour cover it.

Where does the CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm fall short?

Airflow per pound is its weakest number. At £26.31 per 100 m³/h it sits £13.81 above the £49.99 COMFEE' 60cm Chimney Black and second-highest of the ten for cost per 100 m³/h, so a household that ducts outside and wants volume pays for quiet and filters it will not use.

Noise and suction have ceilings too: 57 dB is still 10 dB above the 47 dB FIREGAS 60cm Angled Chimney, and 380 m³/h trails the 450 m³/h TopStrong 60cm A+++ Hood by 70 m³/h. Its 4.2 owner score is below the 4.4 shared by the COMFEE' and the CIARRA CBCS6201, and the CBCF002X2 filters are consumables, so recirculating means replacing them once they saturate while ducted use never asks that of you.

CIARRA CBCB6736C Angled 60cm vs COMFEE' and CIARRA CBCS6201?

Against the COMFEE' 60cm Chimney Black the whole decision is £50. That hood costs £49.99, moves 400 m³/h, 20 m³/h more than this one, and runs at 67 dB with its carbon filter sold separately. Take the COMFEE' if a duct reaches outside and you would rather keep the money, and take the CIARRA CBCB6736C if you recirculate and want the filters supplied.

Against the CIARRA CBCS6201 at £79.99 the gap is £20 and the numbers are close: 370 m³/h against 380 m³/h, 60 dB against 57 dB, and 12,710 owners against 6,209. The pyramid CBCS6201 wants full ceiling clearance and suits a ducted wall where the biggest body of owner feedback matters; the angled CBCB6736C suits low cabinets and recirculation, and it brings its filters with it.
