Extraction and everyday operation
The hood offers three standard fan speeds plus an intensive setting. Its stated airflow rises from 480m³/h at maximum standard speed to 713m³/h on intensive, giving it useful headroom for strong cooking smells and bursts of steam.
Operation is designed to be straightforward, with button controls on the hood and a supplied remote control for use from a distance. The auto switch-off feature adds convenience after cooking.
Recirculation and maintenance
This is a recirculating-only hood, so it passes cooking fumes through active charcoal filters before returning the cleaned air to the room. Charcoal filters are included according to the supplied product information, but recirculation performance depends on keeping them correctly maintained.
Washable stainless steel grease filters can be placed in a dishwasher, helping reduce routine cleaning effort. The LED lights can operate independently of the fan and illuminate the cooking area.
Design, efficiency and suitability
The black 75cm angled design uses Smeg’s 1950s-inspired styling, making the hood as much a visual feature as a ventilation appliance. It is intended for wall mounting above a suitably sized cooking area.
An A+ energy rating is a positive point for regular use. The stated 72dB(A) noise rating is worth considering if low-noise operation is a priority, particularly when using higher fan settings.
