“An effective extractor is an absolute must in any kitchen,” says Ian Kershaw, MD of fast growing appliance manufacturer CDA. “ Without a good extractor the kitchen will quickly become dirty because grease contained in steam from frying and other cooking will deposit itself on surfaces such as cornice rails, door edges and the ceiling. Smells will linger too - and a good extractor will remove them quickly and efficiently.”

In total, CDA offers 19 different extractors, ranging from standard extractors right through to stunning, high performance kitchen centre pieces. KBB in March will see the launch of a further three top-of-the-range extractors from CDA which push the boundaries of style to a new level.
