Extraction performance and installation flexibility
The AEG DGE5861HM cooker hood provides three standard extraction speeds plus an Intensive setting. In ducted mode, airflow ranges from 300m³/h to 580m³/h, with up to 700m³/h available for demanding cooking tasks.
It can also be configured for recirculation, giving households more flexibility where external ducting is not practical. Recirculation airflow is lower than the ducted figures, and the charcoal filter will require periodic replacement.
Smart controls and everyday usability
Hob2Hood is the standout convenience feature. When paired with a compatible hob, it can switch on the hood lighting and regulate fan speed in response to cooking activity, while electronic push buttons provide direct manual control.
The two LED spotlights are designed to illuminate the hob, and the filter indicators help show when maintenance is needed. These features make routine operation and upkeep more straightforward.
Efficiency, noise and maintenance
An A energy rating, A fluid dynamic efficiency rating and A lighting efficiency rating point to efficient everyday operation. The supplied information gives annual energy consumption as 55.2kWh.
The hood is rated at 54dB(A) on minimum ducted power and 67dB(A) at maximum, rising to 68dB(A) on Intensive. Two aluminium mesh grease filters can be cleaned in a dishwasher, helping maintain performance without routine filter replacement for the grease filters.
