Bora's venting hob sets combine a cooktop extractor with matching cooktops and the Ecotube ducting needed to connect them. The extractor sits between the cooking zones and pulls steam and cooking smells down at the hob, so you don't need a hood at head height. That suits island kitchens, cooking by a window or simply keeping sightlines open. Sets come from two series: Classic 2.0 and Professional 3.0, which is Bora's flagship system.
Most of the choice comes down to the cooktops. Surface induction sets put an induction cooktop on each side of the extractor. Induction heats the pan directly, so it responds quickly and the glass stays cooler around the pan. If you like searing or cooking straight on a hot plate, some sets swap one induction cooktop for a Tepan stainless steel grill. There are also radiant glass ceramic sets. In Classic 2.0, a Hyper cooktop is paired with a HiLight cooktop that has a bridging roaster option, and the Professional 3.0 HiLight set includes a three-ring cooktop with a roaster option. Radiant zones work with any flat-bottomed pan, but they heat and cool more slowly than induction.
The ventilation parts differ between the series. The Professional 3.0 extractor has a fan built into the unit. Some Classic 2.0 sets come with a separate plinth fan that fits in the base of the units. If you'd rather choose your own cooktops, Classic 2.0 also comes as an extractor-only set with a Universal Ecotube set. Finishes include the standard black glass, often with stainless steel, plus All Black versions of both extractors. In Professional 3.0 there are also matt black rough surface cooktops, which have a textured look rather than a gloss finish.
To narrow your choice, start with the series, then decide between all induction, induction with Tepan or radiant HiLight, and choose the finish last. Extra filters and ducting parts are listed under Bora accessories. You'll find ovens and other appliances to match in Bora built-in kitchen appliances, or you can browse all Bora products.
