This wall-mounted chimney hood does exactly what it’s meant to - pulls cooking smells and steam out of the air before they drift into the rest of the house. With a max boost of 760 m³/h, it’s more than enough for everyday frying, boiling, and the odd slightly burnt toast incident. There are five speed levels to choose from, including two intensive ones when you need them, and the controls are touch-operated and straightforward.

Simple To Use, Easy To Forget About

If you’ve got a compatible AEG hob, the Hob2Hood® feature means this extractor can sync up automatically and change speeds as you cook, which is handy, especially if you’ve got your hands full. If not, it’s still easy to control yourself. The panel responds well, and you’re not left wondering if you’ve pressed the right thing. It’s built to just work, without needing much attention.

Lighting That’s Actually Useful

Some extractor lights are either blinding or useless. This one isn’t. The single LED strip gives off a nice, even glow that properly lights up your hob without turning your kitchen into an interrogation room. It’s low energy, long-lasting, and part of AEG’s AuroraTech® setup, but more importantly, it just makes it easier to see what you're doing.
