Where to buy the AEG GDE682HM cooker hood
🏆 Review & price summary
The AEG GDE682HM cooker hood combines a broad 120cm integrated design with ducted extraction up to 750m³/h on intensive, Hob2Hood automation, touch-on-glass controls and LED lighting. Its A energy rating and 45kWh annual consumption are strong points, while the class B grease filtration, 70dB intensive noise level and large installation width are the main trade-offs.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ Strong 750m³/h intensive ducted extraction for large cooking areas
- ✓ Flexible ducted or recirculating installation
- ✓ Hob2Hood can automatically regulate the hood from a compatible hob
- ✓ A energy rating with A-rated fluid-dynamic and lighting efficiency
Worth considering
- The 750m³/h extraction figure is available only on intensive; normal maximum ducted extraction is 445m³/h
- Intensive ducted operation reaches 70dB, compared with 57dB at the normal maximum setting

The exact retailer information variant supports recirculation and lists MCFB86 as its compatible long-life filter type; filter availability should be checked before choosing recirculation.
Extraction performance and coverage
The AEG GDE682HM cooker hood is a wide 120cm integrated model designed for broad hobs and range cookers. Ducted extraction is rated at 260m³/h on minimum, 445m³/h at maximum normal speed and 750m³/h on intensive.
Recirculation is supported, with airflow rated at 225-440m³/h during normal operation and 590m³/h on intensive. That gives useful installation flexibility, although external ducting provides the stronger maximum airflow.
Controls and everyday convenience
Electronic touch-on-glass controls provide three standard speeds plus an intensive setting. Hob2Hood connectivity can automatically regulate the hood from a compatible hob, while the integrated filter indicators help track maintenance.
The single LED strip has a 3000K colour temperature and is intended to illuminate the cooking area. The stainless steel grease filter is washable, making routine cleaning more straightforward.
Installation and fit
This is an integrated cooker hood measuring 330mm high, 1200mm wide and 308mm deep, so it needs a suitably large built-in housing rather than a standard 60cm or 90cm hood opening. The specified air outlet is 150mm.
AEG lists minimum clearances of 50cm above an electric hob and 65cm above a gas hob. The appliance can be used in either ducted or recirculating mode; the exact retailer information variant lists MCFB86 as its compatible long-life filter type for recirculation.
Efficiency and filtration
The AEG GDE682HM cooker hood carries an A energy rating with stated annual energy consumption of 45kWh. Its fluid-dynamic and lighting efficiency ratings are also A, which supports a strong efficiency assessment for this category.
Grease filtration is rated B rather than A, with a stated grease-filtering efficiency of 85.1%. That is respectable, but not the highest available classification.
Noise levels
Ducted noise is rated at 45dB on minimum, 57dB at maximum normal speed and 70dB on intensive. Recirculating operation is rated at 54dB minimum and 69dB maximum.
The normal maximum setting should be considerably more comfortable for everyday use than the intensive mode, but the boost setting is clearly audible when the highest extraction rate is required.
