Hey OzB Brainstrust,
I was wondering if I could pick everyone's brains. I own a property that has this rangehood installed in it and I was wondering if anyone knew what brand/model it was? (There are no identifying tags etc as far as I could see on it).

I've tried the good ol' Google but haven't had much luck so I figured I'd throw the question out here to see if anyone can help me out.
Welcome any assistance!
Cheers!

lol nah mate, I got that covered.
I did that a while ago and couldn't see any stickers from memory. I'll have to double check that when I'm next there.
Looks like a Robinhood Slimline model of some sort.
Here's a very similar one's manual: https://manualzz.com/doc/35742235/robinhood-sl-slimline-slid…
Here's a newer boxier-style version: https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/parkville/cooktops-rangehood…
Page 6 on the Gumtree one seems to show a model sticker near the fan if you remove the filters, might be worth trying: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/P8UAAOSwrkxiiEy0/s-l800.webp
Another similar one although dual filter: https://www.stancash.com.au/robinhood-600mm-compact-canopy-r…
So quite possibly an older model of these.
Ahhh champion, that's extremely helpful. I'll have to double check that the next time I'm here.
Does it even extract air anywhere, or just pass it through a filter? How effective are these little things with getting fat and smoke out of the air compared to bigger units that pipe the air out somewhere. I see these things installed under cabinets, so the air has nowhere to go but out back into your kitchen, damaging your tiles and griming up your ceilings over time. And I bet those filter things need cleaning more often.
Unfortunately, this one doesn't extract air externally. It's a model that just does internal recirculation so yes, the filter does need regular cleaning/maintenance. In this case, it's in a unit and it wasn't installed in a way with a duct to get the air out. Need to try and make the best of it.
If you remove the filter you may find a sticker or tag on the inside with the details.
