Extraction and everyday performance
The Smeg KT90GRE cooker hood provides three standard fan speeds plus an intensive mode. Everyday extraction reaches 567 m³/h, while the intensive setting increases this to 788 m³/h for stronger cooking odours and heavier steam.
Noise levels range from 49 dB(A) at the lowest speed to 62 dB(A) at the highest standard speed. Intensive extraction is rated at 69 dB(A), so it offers extra clearing power at the expense of more audible operation.
Installation flexibility and filtration
This decorative wall hood supports both ducted and recirculating installation. The ducted outlet is 150mm, while charcoal filters are included for recirculating use. A non-return valve and three aluminium anti-grease filters are also specified.
The stated minimum distance is 650mm above an electric hob and 750mm above a gas hob. These measurements should be checked carefully against the planned kitchen installation before fitting.
Lighting, controls and efficiency
Twin 1W LED lights provide illumination across the hob and can be switched on independently of the fan. The supplied information rates their average illumination at 225 lux and gives a 3000K colour temperature.
Steel-effect Victoria control knobs provide the operating interface. The hood carries an A energy efficiency rating, with A ratings also specified for fluid dynamic and lighting efficiency, alongside a C grease-filtering efficiency rating.
Design and practical considerations
The 895mm-wide gloss slate-grey chimney design is intended to be a prominent feature in the kitchen. Its Victoria styling uses curved forms, chunky controls and signature branding rather than a minimalist appearance.
The combination of a wide format, strong extraction and two installation modes makes it versatile, but its wall-mounted form and stated dimensions mean that available wall space and ducting access need to be assessed in advance.
