Where to buy the Elica Juno WH/F/50 cooker hood
🏆 Review & price summary
The Elica Juno WH/F/50 cooker hood is a compact 50cm suspended island model designed for recirculating use. Its strongest points are the 620m³/h maximum airflow, A energy rating, 3500K LED lighting and regenerable charcoal filtration. The simple three-speed push-button control is easy to use, although there is no separately specified boost function. Noise reaches 67dB(A) at maximum, and grease filtration is rated class D, so it is better suited to compact kitchens than high-volume cooking environments.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ A energy rating with 48.5kWh annual consumption
- ✓ Maximum airflow of 620m³/h from a compact 50cm island hood
- ✓ Two LED lights rated at 3500K and 381 lux
- ✓ Simple three-speed Soft Light push-button operation
Worth considering
- Maximum noise reaches 67dB(A), so it is clearly audible at the highest setting
- Three push-button speeds but no separately specified boost function or touch operation
- The 50cm diameter gives less lateral cooking coverage than a standard 60cm hood

Design and installation
The Elica Juno WH/F/50 cooker hood uses a suspended island design with a 50cm diameter and white finish. Its compact format is useful above a smaller island or peninsula, although it provides less lateral coverage than a conventional 60cm hood.
The manufacturer specifies minimum clearances of 50cm above induction or radiant hobs and 65cm above gas hobs. A 150mm duct transition is listed in the technical data, while this white variant is supplied as a recirculating configuration with charcoal filtration.
Extraction and noise
The Elica Juno WH/F/50 cooker hood offers three extraction speeds, with airflow rated from 255m³/h to 620m³/h. That is a strong maximum figure for a 50cm suspended hood and should give useful odour removal for everyday cooking, although airflow performance will depend on filter condition and kitchen layout.
Noise is rated at 45–67dB(A). The lowest setting should be relatively unobtrusive, but the maximum setting is clearly audible and is not the best fit for buyers who prioritise very quiet operation.
Controls, lighting and filtration
Operation is deliberately simple: the Elica Juno WH/F/50 cooker hood has three Soft Light push-button speeds rather than touch controls or a separately specified boost function. This keeps the interface easy to understand but gives it fewer convenience features than more advanced rivals.
Two 2.5W LED lights provide 3500K illumination and are rated at 381 lux. The hood uses an aluminium grease filter and supports a regenerable charcoal odour filter, with the manufacturer describing the long-life filter as washable and designed for extended use.
Efficiency and ownership
The Elica Juno WH/F/50 cooker hood carries an A energy rating and an annual energy consumption figure of 48.5kWh. Its fluid-dynamic efficiency and lighting efficiency are both rated A, making it more convincing on energy performance than on grease filtration.
The main compromise is the grease filtration rating: 65.1%, class D. Buyers should therefore keep the metal filter clean and accept that the hood’s filtration efficiency is less impressive than its airflow, lighting and energy figures.
