Best Smeg Range Hoods

Working well. Spare grease filters are expensive – This Smeg unit replaced a decades-old Omega rangehood. Since we cook a lot, the rangehood gets daily use. The exhaust extraction is powerful, so we… Read more

have it on minimum setting. We wash the filters every week.

As precaution, I ordered spare grease filters, p/n 133.0059.251. The rangehood uses four filters. Local Smeg price is $184 each, but they are available in Europe under a variety of brands - Faber, Franke, Roblin.

I ordered mine from Rhone Depannage Service (RDS) in France. All-up cost to buy, and ship here via a freight forwarder, worked out to $92 each. The European filters feel more sturdy and seem to have better build quality. Dimensions are the same.

Postscript 25-May-2023: After a few months of use, all four original filters became unusable. The retaining tabs broke off, because the metal is too thin. The spare filters from France have thicker metal and are holding up well, so I need to buy more. Currently they are 37 Euros each: https://www.pieces-menager.fr/catalogue/filtres-de-hottes/filtre-metallique-/-filtre-a-graisse/piece-filtre-metallique-133.0059.251-roblin-133.0059.251-1602

Noisy appliance – This cooker hood is very noisy even on the lowest fan speed. It may work effectively to remove steam but the noise is very bad. We can't hear anything else in the kitchen. Show details

Great looking ranghood - If only it worked ! – I moved into a house that had a CK2000 range hood fitted. The performance of the rangehood was incredible for the first few weeks. Unfortunately… Read more

after two weeks it stopped working completely. No lights, No Fan, nothing. I called the Smeg service agent who informed me that the main circuit board is no longer available as a spare part. I'm now left with the choice of replacing the entire unit at $$$, or replacing with another brand and modifying the cabinetry to suit.

Based on this experience, I'd not be able to recommned this product.

This Range Hood was Purchased to replace another SMEG Range Hood which would have been in Service for 20 years ..... It was Rubbish .... Sadly I… Read more

had to continue to Install it but discovered the Device was Plastic & the Thinnest "Stainless" Steel making it flex regardless of the number of screws installed . In addition , The Installation itself was PAINFUL . The Flue securing was NOT though through for the INSTALLERS & was ill fitting & a Bodgey deal .... I Bought it without consulting the Industry ..... I Premium Brand I thought ..... Waste of Money ..... There are more expensive Models in the Range .... But this was so bad I would never consider the Brand again ....

Probably one of the worst extraction fans I have purchased – Installed a brand new SMEG fan and extremely disappointed. 3 Speeds - loud, louder and very loud. the lowest speed sucks better than top speed. So… Read more

bad we got the technician out to check it. Installed correctly, no issues and even he was dumbfounded at its lack of performance. You can watch steam from a boiling pot spill over and around the hood with hardly any extraction. The only remedy we were offered by E&S was to purchase another unit - an alternative brand. SMEG - might have great cook tops and ovens but I recommend testing their fans before purchasing one. There were no issues with installation, ventilation or competing airflows etc - just a very bad performing product. I will try and add a video. The most disappointing thing is the attending service man acknowledged that the fan was underperforming and failed to achieve what would be acceptable - but because the fan was "functioning" nothing could be done. Be careful what you purchase! Fan purchased 2020 and installed in a new build - operational 2021. $2000 unit - looks nice but very poor performance..
