Extraction and everyday performance
The Smeg KTR90XE cooker hood offers three fan speeds plus an intensive mode, giving it a useful range for everyday cooking and more demanding sessions. Its stated airflow rises from 334m³/h at minimum speed to 567m³/h at maximum speed, with up to 788m³/h available on intensive. That makes it particularly suited to wider cooking zones and dishes that create substantial steam, smoke or odours.
Noise output is specified at 49dB(A) on the lowest speed and 61dB(A) on speed three. Intensive operation reaches 69dB(A), so the strongest setting is best treated as a short-duration boost rather than a quiet background mode.
Installation, lighting and design
The hood can be installed for ducted extraction or recirculating use. A 150mm vent outlet supports ducted installation, while included charcoal filters support recirculation. Three aluminium anti-grease filters and a non-return valve are also supplied, although the available information does not describe filter-cleaning indicators or automatic controls.
Two independently switchable LED lights illuminate the hob area at 3000K, with a stated average cooking-surface illumination of 225 lux. The brushed stainless-steel finish, curved Victoria styling and chunky control knobs make this a prominent design feature as well as a ventilation appliance.
Efficiency and practical considerations
An A energy-efficiency rating is supported by A ratings for fluid dynamic efficiency and lighting efficiency, which is encouraging for regular use. The twin 1W LED lamps should also provide focused hob lighting without a large lighting load.
At 895mm wide and 530mm deep, this is a substantial wall-mounted hood intended for larger cooking areas. The stated minimum installation distances are 750mm above a gas hob and 650mm above an electric hob, so kitchen planning and clearance checks are important before purchase.
