Cooker hood - Proline, Tecnik?

Proline is/was(?) Currys own brand I believe.

Could be generic names that can't be registered as a Tradename. Lots of various things have been called Proline over the years. Or that brand used by a retailer (or importer) and ends up on products from various makers.

These are circular plastic filters that clip on either end of the fan, not flat sheets, otherwise I would DIY.

Ah! That sounds reasonable. So quite possibly a Tecnik product rebranded just for Currys. Thanks.

Noted, thanks. Will ask the supplier.

I thought it was Comet's own brand, which would explain it disappearing ...

So that will probably mean its a badge engineering item from whoever will make what they want and stick their name on it.

Tecnik was an own label brand name that was owned by Moben kitchens which ceased trading in 2011 taking Tecnik with them. Tecnik never manufactured anything but bought in from any supplier they could find. Their products were usually fairly cheap and nasty and were mainly supplied as "free" with Moben kitchens or kitchens from Kitchens Direct.

Proline was another label name owned and operated by Comet and only sold by Comet, serviced by Comet and spares were often only available from Comet. They ceased trading in 2012 when Comet went into administration.

There is no supplier support for either brand but you might be able to find out who the original manufacturer was and use their parts - for example Candy made some Tecnik items. Things like cooker hoods tended to be rebadged Chinese no name items and unique spares are increasingly difficult to find. Filters and the like are usually easier as one size may fit several unrelated devices.

I think you could be right - I thought it began with a C! :)

Try espares.

Excellent link - thanks.

If your filter contains charcoal chips, you may be able to refill it which works out much cheaper. Of course, you'd have to open the casing without much damage. That's what I do with mine, but it isn't a Proline unit.

Thanks Richard. Yes, I did look at refills, but my filters seem to be welded, which makes opening a challenge. However, good news. Been corresponding with

Hi Deborah,

I eventually found suitable filters at :

Suggest you email them with the make and model of your hood, and they will advise.

Thank you for replying ! I had thought it was a long shot to an old post. I will email them.
