Working well. Spare grease filters are expensive – This Smeg unit replaced a decades-old Omega rangehood. Since we cook a lot, the rangehood gets daily use. The exhaust extraction is powerful, so we have it on minimum setting. We wash the filters every week. As precaution, I ordered spare grease filters, p/n 133.0059.251. The rangehood uses four filters. Local Smeg price is $184 each, but they are available in Europe under a variety of brands - Faber, Franke, Roblin.

I ordered mine from Rhone Depannage Service (RDS) in France. All-up cost to buy, and ship here via a freight forwarder, worked out to $92 each. The European filters feel more sturdy and seem to have better build quality. Dimensions are the same.

Postscript 25-May-2023: After a few months of use, all four original filters became unusable. The retaining tabs broke off, because the metal is too thin. The spare filters from France have thicker metal and are holding up well, so I need to buy more. Currently they are 37 Euros each: https://www.pieces-menager.fr/catalogue/filtres-de-hottes/filtre-metallique-/-filtre-a-graisse/piece-filtre-metallique-133.0059.251-roblin-133.0059.251-1602
