Sirius SLEM 2 900 (90 cm)

Everything expected from research and more – We have a large house with kitchen centered in the middle of an open plan area, well away from external walls. This has been a challenge for rangehoods to effectively expel everything out of the kitchen and not pervade living spaces at meal times. The two previous ones have been noisy and ineffective so we researched extensively and finally… Read more

settled on this external motor Sirius model. The unit itself is classically stylish, the buttons simple, discreet and understated. And the pulling power of the motor is great. Installed 18 months ago at time of this review, it hasn’t missed a beat. It might be three times the price of a regular unit but it’s much greater sucking power and oh so much quieter operation, with the external motor in the roof, make the investment thoroughly worthwhile. Easy to install with the kits available. We didn’t need a tradesperson, but to mount and vent it properly some decent handyperson skills are required. An all round excellent product.

Really Good, but beware – After a lot of research we purchased this model from Harvey Norman. If not for motors dying I would have given it 5 stars. The sales rep gave us the name of a local company to install it. We tried to arrange installation and they said no, they service the units but do not install. Got a friend to do it for me. Although he is a licenced… Read more

electrician, he did a cash job and didn't issue a CoC. I didn't think I would need one however the first time the motor died after only 12 months we were asked for proof of it being installed by a licenced tradesman. Ultimately the repairers accepted it, and the motor was changed out no issues. Approximately 12 months later, the 2nd motor started becoming noisy again. Eventually it died. Repairers are coming again on Monday to replace the second motor. Ultimately it is a shame because it is a very efficient and quiet unit, and removes all smoke quickly. I am now worrying about what will happen 12 months down the track. The baffle is thoroughly washed every time the lights come on without fail. If the motor is failing constantly because it is clogging up with oil, it seems the baffle is not fit for it's intended purpose so could be a design fault. Hopefully a solution can be found because I do not want to pay for a new motor every 12 months, and if it was not installed correctly, surely the retailer should disclose if an authorized installer can install it or not before it is sold. In fairness the after sales service from Sirius has been very good

Functional. Even with external motor there is small noise – We bought a model direct from the manufacturer. It is a discontinued model. We also bought external mounting accessories. Installation was not simple. Hard to reach some of the screws that needed to be tightened. We had professional installer doing it and it was their comment as well.

Our family love it – Good looking and very useful! We use every day and enjoy it. We cook spicy food, seafood and different type of food. I referred to our friends and all love it. Show details

good looking and founctioning – I have just purchased SL EM900 with external motor and it is looked nice. I will see how in long term it will work. It seems the options for installer is limited so the installation costs. Show details

The ideal finish to my fabulous new kitchen – I have just had our renovation involving moving the kitchen to our back-patio space (fully enclosed) and chose the Sirius SLEM 2 900 Range-hood to complement our set of new SMEG Kitchen cooking appliances, including an Induction cook-top. I chose this to enhance the elegance of my Hampton-style 2-pack Kitchen cabinets, and for its external exhaust… Read more

motor. The Sirius range-hood is quieter at its low fan functions and effectively removes steam & odours to outside the room. The lights are ideally positioned, and it is very easy to clean the filters in our new (first) Electrolux dishwasher & custom made single-piece baffle (due to the brick line around the top of the kitchen’s external wall from the original patio layout). The range-hood, flue & motor were easy to install.

Quiet and efficient – The rangehood is really quite (possibly because of the external mounted motor option we chose) and so far has done a great job of removing smells. We have installed it above an induction cooktop and it's worked perfectly since we installed it a few weeks ago. It's contemporary finish looks great too.  Show details

Removes all odors – Bought this rangehood recently to replace a euromaid model which dripped oil. It is an amazing product in comparison. No oil dripping after 2 months of constant use. I love the external motor to reduce noise. It removes all smoke, steam and odors even when cooking the smokiest of dishes. The only issue I had was the manual supplied with the model… Read more

was not specific with mounting instructions whereas the online one on the Sirius site was much better. The one we had with product did not specify mounting height or the ducting to be used so we had to refo the install!

Great product! – Looks great and is really effective at removing cooking smells! Purchased this rangehood recently and installation was relatively easy. The first two settings are very quiet! I have not been disappointed with my choice, it is a real showpiece adding a certain elegance to my fabulous new kitchen. I'm very happy!  Show details

Magnificent and silent – I have recently had my kitchen renovated and decided on a Sirius SLEM 2 900 Range hood. Apart from the smart clean and contemporary design I was drawn to the external exhaust motor. After years of substandard performance of my previous range hood, I could not be any happier with my new Sirius. The whisper quiet function with strong and effective… Read more ·  1

steam and odour removal to the outside air, well placed lighting and easy to clean baffles and surfaces, I don't know why I put up with my previous range hood for so long. Installation was simple and quick for the electrician with the outside motor being discrete in both looks and operation. I will never go back to an internally driven model. Ever. Thank you Sirius, your product delivered everything it promised.

GREAT PRODUCT – The Sirius range hood is a great product. It is very easy to use and takes all unwanted cooking smells from the kitchen. Was easy for the electrician to install.  Show details

Superb, awesome and excellent – I purchased this Sirius 2900 with SEM1 motor as it was for personal use. Even though being Indian we use heavy duty spices, this rangehood sucks the smell and unwanted things so neatly and nicely that I wouldn’t stop recommending to many people! The only thing to remember is please get it installed using Sirius recommended plumbers who is… Read more

mentioned on their website. They are but expensive but worth paying them extra as rangehood is not cheap too! Overall, just love it and it’s definitely silent. Even when I Use top speed which 4th it doesn’t make that noise. Hence installation is very important.

Looks great and is very quiet – Only recently purchased so a bit early to really give it a score but I can say it is very quiet. I have purchased the range hood based on the excellent reviews and recommendation of HN. Hope it does it will be as good as they say as it was not the cheapest option. Will update the review in a couple of months  Show details

Ah the serenity! – The range hood is installed at last and is whisper quiet. l can have a normal volume conversation while the setting is on high fan in the open plan kitchen dining lounge. It's great. Had some issues with Harvey Norman as they didn't deliver the separately boxed external motor with first shipment so something to watch for when ordering. I had to… Read more ·  1

call Sirius a couple of times to sort it out and the customer service was great and helped me sort out the issues. Don't forget the duct kit.

Not bad but disappointed – I purchased this item at Harvey Norman after looking at the display. When I received the item it had baffles instead of the mesh I wanted and the flue cover did not have the s symbol as displayed in the shop...very disappointed Besides that I'm pretty happy with the prefomance and the sound.  Show details

Happy Customers – We were recently in the market to purchase a new Rangehood. After much searching on the internet we decided to go to Harvey Norman so as we could see different Makes / Models in operation . After viewing many units and discussing the Positives and Negatives as regards cleaning and actual extraction power of the different units with the salesman… Read more

we made the decision to go with a Sirius SL EM2 900 / Sirius Easy roof Ducting Kit and are really happy with our choice.

Effectiveness of Range Hood – This device is most definitely "fit for purpose". It delivers as promised, works effectively and looks very well. The motor is quiet, the exhaust flue system is robust and of sufficient length to satisfy needs. The filter is strong and fits very well, so is easily removed for cleaning. I am thoroughly contented to have made this purchase.  Show details

Not as good as I expected – This was installed in a newly built house, I love to cook and was willing to pay extra for a really good rangehood. Alas, the Sirius is neither as quiet or as good at removing cooking smells as I was expecting. I'm not sure if the disappointing performance is due to the product itself or because of the installation.  Show details

Very quiet Rangehood – This rangehood looks and sounds terrific. Very happy with our purchase. Installation no trouble at all. Didn't take long at all. the suction is outstanding. We would thoroughly recommend and would buy again As well as looks goo in our kitchen and have many comments. One very very happy customer.  Show details

Works well and quieter than others – Purchased this rangehood recently. Installation wasn't too difficult. Buttons would have been easier to access and see if on the edge of the canopy rather than on top, but this might lead to earlier failure from steam and oil ingress than if the buttons were on top as they are now. Corners of the canopy are slightly rounded but would have… Read more

been better if more rounded (for added safety).

A relative came over to see and was so impressed by it, she asked me to get one for her too. Hence this second review. She liked the way it had several fan speed settings, nice bright halogen lights, the way cooking smells are ducted outside, easy to clean filter and how it was quieter than her current one. Those were the main pluses from her.

Great Choice – Just installed a new kitchen and I wanted a rangehood that is aesthetically pleasing, quiet, efficient, easy to clean and doesn't show up every single mark. Yeah. I have not been disappointed with my choice, it is a real show piece adding a certain elegance to my fabulous new kitchen.

Nice and quiet – Looks good and operates quietly. A great improvement on our previous rangehood. Good value for money. Only disappointing thing was we weren't advised at the time of purchase that it didn't come with a ducting kit. This had to be purchased separately and, because they didn't have it in stock, caused a few delays.

This is a disappointment – Even though the motor is on the ceiling the noise level is too great at speeds 3 and 4. I paid good money for it both to buy and to install. Just sad. I hope the company can to something to rectify this great annoyance. If not take it back and give a refund.

Quiet efficient rangehood – Very happy with this purchase. I had been doing a bit of research into range hoods, & decided to purchase a Sirius brand. A friend of mine has one & is happy with hers. This one is a quality product, its quiet and efficient with a good extraction rate. Price also reasonable. I would recommend getting it professionally installed

So far, so good – After doing a far bit of research on rangehoods, I decided to go with Sirius. The airflow seems to be much higher than the other brands for similar prices, and the product looked slimline and clean for a canopy rangehood. I bought mine from Domayne and was impressed by the demonstration they provided of having the motor installed away from the… Read more

rangehood, and how this diverted the sounded of the motor about 10 meters from the actual rangehood. I am still waiting for the rangehood to arrive and be installed, and will give an update after I've had it in action in the kitchen for a few weeks.

Lovely Style – The style and workmanship of this product is great. Make sure you use the Sirius Ducting system for easy installation. Super quiet while cooking which makes it ore enjoyable to use. Price is very reasonable for what you get. Harvey Norman is the place to buy it from as the workers are there to help you.

Our new kitchen looks sleek and sexy – We have installed this rang hood in our community kitchen. The external motor makes it quieter with greater efficiency in extracting cooking vapours. Cleaning is a breeze and the unit is very sleek and attractive to the eye.

Beyond expectations! – We recently purchased this rangehood with SEM1 motor because of our open plan kitchen/dining area. We can carry on a conversation standing beside the cooktop with the motor on 4!! Our old rangehood - we could not even hear the TV in the adjoining dining area. Cooking smells - very low. This is excellent since one family member is especially effected by cooking odour. Efficient, quiet, stylish, easy to instal, value for money

Works well! – This range hood looks sleek and is powerful. It draws up the steam/odours leaving the room not as smelly as the old range hood. Am pleased that it does the job expected of it but is not as quiet as I was expecting. We had been told that it was very quiet especially with the motor being placed outside. Overall we are happy with it as it does work… Read more

well. Seems to be effective and powerful. It is disappointing in that it is not as quiet as we were led to believe even with the motor having been placed outside.

Brilliant – We are thrilled with this range hood. It is very efficient at clearing cooking vapors and smells. Having the external motor means it is so much quieter than previous range hoods we've had, a plus in our open plan living area.Is easy to keep clean, no grease catching ridges like our last one. And it looks great.
