Yeah who knows. It is something we thought about. We were trying to avoid an extractor fan because they are ugly and noisy and I rarely bother switching them on. Plus aiming for the general look of a kitchen that doesn't look too kitcheny.
Baller option would have been a hob with downdraft extraction.

And basically just not being afraid to be cheap. Paint is contract matt brilliant white not F&B. Oven isn't self cleaning. No boiling water tap or insinkerator or water filter. No extractor fan. Sockets are standard white plastic.
Etc.
Also did the complete opposite of truth in materials. Fake granite sink. Fake marble worktop. Fake terrazo tiles. Fake ply-edge kitchen units.
Without wanting to be too smug i like it more than a lot of the £40k kitchens I've seen - there's no accounting for taste
