Bora
Uncompromised Culinary Performance
BORA appliances deliver professional-grade power and precision directly to the home chef, drastically reducing heat-up times while maintaining exact temperature control. The high-performance induction zones react instantly to adjustments, allowing you to seamlessly transition from an intense sear to a delicate simmer. Engineered with advanced cooking sensors, the system ensures heat is distributed uniformly across any pan size for flawless results every time. It represents a masterclass in modern culinary efficiency, combining raw power with the delicate touch required for sophisticated cooking.
Revolutionary Downdraft Technology
BORA has completely rewritten the physics of ventilation by drawing cooking vapors and odors downward directly where they arise—straight from the pot or pan. Operating on a simple principle of fluid mechanics, the system creates a cross-flow that is faster than the speed at which cooking steam rises, quietly capturing grease and aromas before they can spread through your home. This highly efficient downdraft technology means you no longer have to contend with loud, distracting wall hoods running at eye level. It represents a masterclass in high-end engineering, delivering pristine air quality while maintaining an incredibly quiet acoustic profile.
The BORA X BO Steam Oven
The BORA X BO brings professional-standard steam baking into the residential kitchen with an intuitive, minimalist touch interface. This flagship oven combines a high-performance steamer and a convection oven into one sleek unit, ensuring roasts stay incredibly succulent while pastries achieve the perfect crisp crust. A standout feature is the automatic steam extraction system, which cleverly draws away hot vapors before the door opens so you never get a blast of steam in your face. Coupled with an odor-filtering activated charcoal layer and a fully automated self-cleaning cycle, it completely redefines the luxury baking experience.
Unrivalled Functionality & Easy Cleaning
Beyond its striking architectural appeal, the BORA system is built to handle the intense demands of daily culinary creation with absolute ease. The extra-large cooking zones provide ample space for oversized pans, while the smart automatic extractor control self-adjusts based on your real-time cooking intensity. When dinner is finished, maintenance is entirely stress-free; the central inlet nozzle and grease filter can be removed with a single movement. All moving parts are completely dishwasher-safe, ensuring that keeping your premium cooking environment pristine requires no effort at all.

Do BORA downdraft hobs actually work?
Yes, more efficiently than traditional hoods. BORA pulls cooking vapors downward directly from the pot lip using fluid mechanics. Because it creates a cross-flow air velocity faster than rising steam, it traps grease and odors before they ever have a chance to disperse into your kitchen air.
Can you put a BORA hob on a kitchen island?
BORA is designed specifically for kitchen islands. Because the extraction system is built straight into the cooktop, it removes the need for bulky, sightline-blocking ceiling hoods. The compact mechanics fit neatly inside the base cabinet below, preserving your drawer storage space.
What is unique about the BORA X BO steam oven?
The BORA X BO is a professional-grade combi-steamer that combines precision steam baking with convection. Its standout feature is an automatic steam extractor that clears hot vapours before the door unlatches, preventing steam blasts to your face. It also features a fully automated, hands-free self-cleaning cycle.
Are BORA extractor filters dishwasher safe?
Yes. The central inlet nozzle and stainless-steel grease filter lift out of the cooktop with a single movement—no tools required. Both pieces are entirely dishwasher-safe, while the digital cooktop display automatically alerts you when it is time to swap the internal charcoal odor filters.
Do BORA hobs require ducting to an outside wall?
No, BORA offers both options. The ducted system vents vapors outside through thin floor channels, while the recirculation system filters air through high-performance activated charcoal and releases it back into the kitchen. Recirculation is ideal for kitchen islands where running ductwork through floors is difficult.
What is the difference between recirculation and ducted BORA hobs?
Ducted (exhaust) models channel steam and cooking fumes directly outside through slim, space-saving wall channels. Recirculation models pass air through an active charcoal filter before returning purified air back into the room—making them ideal for kitchen islands, high-rise apartments, and passive/energy-efficient homes where external ducting isn’t feasible.
How loud is a BORA extractor compared to a normal hood?
BORA is significantly quieter than standard overhead hoods. Because the motor is housed in the kitchen plinth rather than at eye level, structural noise is heavily muffled. Even at maximum power, the system produces a quiet hum that is quieter than the sound of food sizzling in the pan.
How much under-counter storage space do you lose with a BORA hob?
Surprisingly little. BORA units have an installation height under 200 mm, meaning the extractor mechanism sits tightly beneath the glass top. In recirculation mode, you typically don’t even need to shorten standard 60 cm deep drawers, preserving maximum space for pots, pans, and cutlery.
