Electrolux Cooker Hoods

Match the hood width to your hob: for a standard 60cm hob choose a 60cm hood such as the LFE216S or LFL316A, and for a 90cm hob or wide island pick a 90cm model like the LFI519X or LFC319X. Consider the layout next: an island hood is designed to hang over a peninsula or island, a chimney or pyramid hood suits a wall-mounted installation, and an integrated or telescopic hood (the 56cm LFP326X) works well if you want a discreet look in a smaller kitchen. If you often cook with large pans or do heavy frying, favour a larger width so the hood fully covers rising steam and fumes.

Stainless steel is tough, copes well with heat and regular cleaning, and hides minor wear; it does show fingerprints but wipes clean easily. Glass finishes (such as the curved or flat glass chimneys LFI519X and LFL336A) give a contemporary, airy look and reflect light, but they show smears more readily and need slightly more frequent cleaning to keep the shine. If you want a hard-wearing everyday finish choose stainless steel; pick glass if style and extra ambient light are your priority.

For an island or open-plan space, opt for a dedicated island hood like the 90cm curved glass LFI519X, because it's engineered to extract from above and often has stronger capture for both sides of the hob. Electrolux hoods are noted for quiet operation and integrated lighting, which helps keep an open-plan living space peaceful and well-lit while you cook. Pick a larger diameter or wider model if your island hob is big, so extraction covers the whole cooking area.

Electrolux hoods use advanced filtration and powerful extraction designed to remove smoke, grease and odours, making them suitable if you fry or grill frequently. The filters are described as easy to clean and long-lasting, and many models are designed so you can remove the grease filters for regular maintenance. For heavy cooking, choose a model with strong extraction and a simple-to-remove filter to keep performance high between cleanings.

Many Electrolux hoods include integrated lighting that provides both task illumination for the hob and softer ambient light for the kitchen, so you'll see what you're doing without adding extra lamps. The brand also emphasises quiet operation, so you can cook and converse without a loud fan in the background. If low noise and good lighting matter to you, look for models described with integrated lighting and the quieter-operation feature, such as the glass chimneys and modern stainless-steel chimneys in our range.
