Extraction and cooking performance
The Elica Ascent Urban cooker hood provides a maximum stated extraction rate of 755m³/h, giving it a strong specification for tackling cooking odours and vapour. Its 3+1 speed arrangement includes an intensive setting for periods when additional extraction is needed.
The 90cm width makes this hood particularly suitable for broad hob installations. The angled format is designed to leave more open space in front of the cooking area while retaining a prominent extraction surface.
Controls, lighting and maintenance
Touch controls provide a clean, straightforward way to select the extraction speed. Integrated LED lighting is useful for illuminating the hob area while cooking.
The filter is removable and washable, which should make regular cleaning easier. The hood has a stated noise rating of 65dB(A) and an energy rating of B, giving buyers clear benchmarks when comparing it with other cooker hoods.
Design and suitability
The cast iron finish and angled profile give the Elica Ascent Urban cooker hood a distinctive appearance suited to kitchens where the extractor hood is intended to form part of the overall design. Its 90cm format is best matched with a suitably wide cooking area.
Available product information does not provide installation dimensions beyond the 90cm width, or details about ducting and recirculation compatibility. These points should be checked before purchase if they are important to the installation.
