A 90cm rangehood works well with a smaller cooktop because it extends over the edges - only 15cm each side, making sure it will extract everything. If you are having items on the benchtop - kettle, coffee maker, knife set etc, the space wouldn't look so big - it would soon fill up. On the other hand, it is nice to see a long clean bench with nothing on it! If you have a nice splashback, it can be a feature as well. You could also incorporate some wall towers for extra cupboard space, this would reduce the size of the bench. Just a few thoughts. Re: Your opinions please.... 6Jan 25, 2010 9:36 am A 90cm rangehood over a smaller cooktop will look fine, the other way around could look odd ....having said THAT, I have a smaller rangehood than my cooktop but it is hidden so no-one can tell. We had a discussion about 90cm ovens last year and I am sure the interior was the same capacity as a 75cm (which is what I have) or 60cm oven anyone remember that? It measures 90cm only because the controls are on the side but there was no more space internally. Re: Your opinions please.... 7Nov 25, 2010 11:06 pm Hi, I am wondering if a 90cm ceramic gas cootop and a 90 cm canopy rangehood would look strange with a 60cm underbench oven? Unfortunately Electrolux dont make a 90cm oven, otherwise I would go with that! But the 60cm was Choice magazines top oven, so I can live with that. Does anyone else have this size oven and cooktop? Does it look ok? Thanks. Re: Your opinions please.... 8Nov 26, 2010 7:58 am Oven size doesn't matter much unless you feed a crowd every night but gas cooktops are a different matter a 60 cm is way to small and crammed you may have to remove one pan to fit another so if you got the bench space i would go for none less that a 75cm look space between burners is good and since you have a 90cm rangehood Re: Your opinions please.... 12Jan 19, 2011 9:59 am I think it will look great!

I like it. It may have looked funny with a 900mm cook top and 600mm oven but looks good. Thanks mate. Yeah good points!
