Who Should Buy It?

  • ✓ A good fit for kitchens requiring an integrated 73cm cooker hood.
  • ✓ Suitable for households wanting a choice between external extraction and recirculation.
  • ✓ Useful for cooks who want dedicated hob lighting as well as odour extraction.

Extraction and everyday performance

The Smeg KSG70E cooker hood offers three fan speeds and a stated maximum extraction rate of 224m³/h. This gives users a choice of settings for routine cooking, stronger odours and lighter ventilation needs.

Its 54dB(A) noise rating is a useful specification for open-plan or frequently used kitchens, although the actual experience can vary with the installation and extraction arrangement.

Installation flexibility

This integrated cooker hood can be used in either ducted or recirculating mode. Ducted installation expels air outside, while recirculation returns filtered air to the room after passing it through an active charcoal filter.

The available product information indicates that venting and charcoal-filter requirements depend on the chosen setup, so these details should be checked before installation.

Controls, lighting and design

Slider controls provide a familiar way to select the three fan speeds. The silver finish is intended to blend with a range of kitchen designs.

LED lights illuminate the work surface below and can be switched on independently of the fan, making them useful for both cooking and general hob-area lighting.
