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 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.

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 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 trade
... Read moresman. 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 goodPurchased in at Harvey Norman for $1,500.
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.

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.

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 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 filte
... Read morers 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.- Date Purchased:
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.

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 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!

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 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 qu

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.

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 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

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 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.

Questions & Answers
Hello,
I am looking at purchasing SEM1 motor, and to install it in my root space (attic). However from my last venture in there I know it is very dusty. Would this have any impact to the running of the motor? Is it the motor completely sealed in other words from the outside elements? and by outside elements, i mean elements that are inside my attic.
Cheers
The motor is quite well sealed, although I have not seen it for a few years, it has survived in our roof space. Go for any extra warranty available though, I went through three separate motors, all installed the same way, in the same place, even the techs said it was a run of bad motors as they had replaced a number of them. Their after sales service was good though, they did replace each one, they must have sick of me after a while, they got the techs to send photos of it, check levels etc, they had no idea what went wrong. The repair company said the manufacturer was telling them to charge extra for lifting the roof sheets and that sort of work, but luckily the repair company here pushed back and told them it was part of the job, if they didn’t remove the sheet, they could not replace the motor.
So since the last replacement, no problems at all, probably about 2 years ago. My installer probably installed it a bit close to the eaves, it’s a bit of a tight fit, would have preferred it a bit further into the roof space.
Hope this helps, when it works, it works very well
Our u it is less then 1 year old, on numerous occasions the fan motor sound as if it’s jammed or seized. After turning it on/of/on after a few goes it’s start to draw, until today that is.. can’t get it to function at all. Just get a strained motor noise with no suck. How do I go about getting the motor replaced? It been happening since new but now we’re not in lock down it needs to be replaced..
Hi Nick,
For repairs and replacements, it would be best to give Arisit Technical Support a call on 1300 762 219 to see if they can arrange for a service-person to come out to have a look.
Regards
Can the external motor be placed outside in the weather?
Yes, SEM 2 motor is the external wall mount option in marine grade 316 stainless steel, SEM5 motor the same but for roof venting. We looked at both before purchasing but chose the SEM 1 roof cavity (not external grade) motor as we had the attic space.
does it have to be placed back to back or could it be placed outside but under the balcony? Is there a minimum/ maximum distance for placement?
Hi Robyn,
It is not recommended to put the motor back-to-back with the rangehood. The ideal distance from the rangehood to the motor is 4 - 5 metres for the best extraction. The max distance is 7 metres and the minimum is 2 metres.
Regards
