Sirius SL906EM-L Series
Verified23 reviews
Does the job – I bought this Rangehood in 2019 as it was marketed as being the quietest option due to the externally-mounted motor. I didn’t find it any quieter than a typical Rangehood. It did the job well though, and in the 3 years I used it (I sold the house I installed it in last year), it never gave a moments trouble. But in future, I wouldn’t bother with an externally-mounted unit again.
Sirius SL906 EM-L 850 – I wanted a rangehoood which was stylish and inconspicuous, quiet and easy to clean. Purchased Sirius ducting to extend Warrantee to 6 years for peace of mind. So far no complaints and happy with my purchase. Happy customer !
Money worth spending – This product highly recommend. Extremely quiet, great LED light under mount and easy to clean. Pop it in the dishwasher. You pay for what you get, QUALITY, what more can I say. Show details
Functionality and good looks at it's best! – I chose this rangehood for my new kitchen because it looks so neat and tidy. The light is really bright and the exhaust fan very quite. I am using it over an inducton cooktop and it works brilliantly! Show details
Excellent Performance - Love my Sirius!!!!! – It Looks Fantastic, the LED light is bright and completely lights up my cooking area. Using with an induction cooktop and it works great. The external motor is so quiet, on the highest setting I can still have a conversation with someone nearby and on the lowest setting many times I have had to check if its on! Cleaning the filters is a… Read more
pleasure, never thought I would say that ever!
No cooking smells lingering at all, bacon in the morning no leftover smell. My vietnamese pork dish has always left a fish sauce smell the next day, nothing with the Sirius, I am loving it.
Very pleased with my purchase :)
Awesome looking product with quiet function – Bought this product as we wanted the very best in ventilation and also something that is undermount/hidden and has great functionality. We love the look of it and it is very quiet. The staff support at head office is good. Only flaw is that you have to buy the ducting kit separately as its not all supplied with, but it is relatively cheap and easy to work with. Using the Sirius brand of ducting also extends your warranty too. Show details
Quiet and looks good – Does what it claims and is quiet. It is well designed and looks unobtrusive in our kitchen. We didn't like the colour of the LED light strip, cool white, that didn't match the under bench LED strip that we installed. It was easy to remove the factory supplied LED strip and replace it with a piece the same as our other LED, and it now matches… Read more
perfectly. Changing it dramatically improved the look of our kitchen at night with the lights on.
If you read this Sirius, perhaps offer different temp LED strip to match customers LED's, as an option, or accessory.
All up we are very pleased with it and would recommend Sirius.
Very poor performance – SL906EML520 installed in my brand new kitchen with a SEM1 motor. About 4m ducting from rangehood to motor, then 1m to the exhaust vent. Metal ducting supplied by kitchen builder, looks identical to Sirius ducting on their website. Used in conjunction with a Neff induction cooktop Pros: fairly quiet, not much difference in volume between speed 1… Read more
and 4. Light is very good.
Cons: simply doesn't move a lot of air. Barely holds up a sheet of paper at full speed. Never captures all of the smoke/steam at light cooking loads, and at heavy loads seems like it doesn't catch any. Performance is only marginally better than my old recirculating unit.
Very disappointed with this rangehood - we dreamed of being able to fry up a storm in our new kitchen, but it looks like we now have to look into an outdoor bbq as frying up even 2 small steaks fills the whole house with smoke.
Worth buying – I saw this product in my friend house and I decided to buy it for my new home. The fact that its noiseless and extract very well gives this products A+++++++. I will recommend it to any one who wants value for money on rangehood. Great work and amazing job done by Sirius team Show details · 1
Great Range Hood – Great product, Very Quiet, Very powerful. Modern design, great LED lighting. Love the fact we can put the vents in the dishwasher to clean them. It really helped us decide which unit to get by seeing them all on display at Harvey Norman. Can't wait to get it installed. Only down side might be that it doesn't look like we would be able to… Read more
replace the light bulbs our self.
Might have to get a tech to pull it apart... Although LED's do have a longer life span usually.
Perfect and patient pre-sales advice and information – We had a number of queries when investigating what range hood to buy and on every occasion our questions were answered politely, professionally and extensively. Great service! We were particularly impressed that the motor can be installed externally, making it a very quiet unit unlike our previous hood. We look forward to enjoying SIRIUS for years to come.

Amazing Rangehood! – I've never had a range hood that extracts so well and is really quiet at the same time. I also love the fact that you can stick the baffle filters straight in the dishwasher. This saves so much time in cleaning the range and it looks like brand new when it's done. Def worth the money. Show details
Very quiet and efficient – Researched for a Range-hood that has external motor. Sirius ticked all the boxes being very quiet and efficient. On the lower setting you can hardly hear it. Very efficient in extracting food odours and smoke to the outside. The LED light works very well. Very easy to clean and looks elegant. I highly recommend this product. Show details

Great features – The benefits of off-board motor and easy clean baffle filters suitable for induction shouldn't be underestimated especially when coming from an older sliding canopy range-hood and being noise sensitive compares very favourably in quality with some brands where the ducting and fitting alone would cost almost the same as this complete unit Show details
No more stinky kitchen – We have gone from an old style over stove exhaust unit that just recirculated the air back in your face - to our wonderful new Sirius which now extracts all the cooking smells outdoors - its great. Its simple to use and has great LED lighting to illuminate the cooking surface Show details
Good Quality – We purchased the Sirius SL-906EM-L-1000 with the motor in the roof space a beautiful quite range hood, recommend this unit to any one. Easy clean filters and hopefully it will perform well for many years to come. Good Quality stainless steel, very well packaged for transport so no damage can occur.
This one's the best for quality, performance and price – I spent months checking reviews, specifications and above all the quality of a rangehood to suit my new kitchen. One review recommended the Sirius range of hoods as a standout in all areas, back to the drawing board so I checked out the Sirius SL 906 EL850 (onboard single motor) and was pleasantly surprised by the specs and reviews of the product.… Read more
The decision was made and purchased the Rangehood from Whitfords Five Dock (excellent service & price) I fitted this on the weekend.
After installing and using this product I would rate all the areas below as 5 stars:
Quality- looks very expensive yet not nearly the price of similar rangehoods
Build- solid with thick panels no rattles or hum during use
Performance - serious motor power removes all the smoke steam
Noise- very quiet but make sure you use Sirius ducting it's super quiet
Ease of installation - cut the hole, 4 screws, vent and plug it in
Light- Bright LED strip
Fit- this fits perfectly into my cupboard as its slim and the exact size I required 850mm long
Easy clean- simple to remove the filters and pop in the dishwasher
Simple and easy to operate- buttons make sense and are easy to operate (some brands are terrible)
I can't say enough about how good this product is, I'm confident this will serve me well for a very long time.
I'll finish with if you've had a kitchen with a noisey ineffective rangehood (I did) then spend the extra and get one that does what it's supposed to, Sirius will do that for you.
Perfect Rangehood For Removing Odours – We have a 90cm oven and gas cooktop and the old range hood was so ineffective that we cooked outside most of the time. So when the old range hood broke, we almost didn't bother replacing it. However, having read previous reviews of the Sirius range hoods on this website, we eventually decided to buy a Sirius SL906 - EXCEL850 range hood. The EXCEL… Read more · 1
means there are two motors inside the body of the range hood, while the 850 stands for the width in mm (i.e. left to right). The depth, or front to back, is about 260mm for all models that I looked at. The size was big factor for us because we installed it inside an old chimney that used used to house a wood oven. If you have the space, you might consider a larger model. I think they recommend that the range hood is wider than the cooktop.
Other models have single motor in the range hood and another at the top of the ducting - which means it is quieter but for us that was not the major issue. We bought a factory second from the Sirius website which worked out about $400 cheaper. They also sell ducting kits which I bought - they are much better than the ones you buy at the hardware store.
The Sirius range hood was more expensive than the common brands but that is because it has 3-4 times more suction, removing 2000m3 of air per hour. In comparison, standard machines that you buy in the big electrical stores only manage about 500m3. The single motor Sirius does a 1000m3 per hour, which is still twice as powerful as standard machines and it would probably be perfect for a 60cm cooktop, but I recommend going for the double motor model when you have a bigger cooktop or, like us, you cook a lot of stir fries.
Since the kitchen is such an important aspect of life, I highly recommend getting such a great range hood as the Sirius SL906.
Great Customer Service – We have just installed this model. The unit makes a funny noise on speed 2 and makes a knocking sound on a windy day. I have contact Sirius and they were right on to it. They are arranging an inspection by one of their installers. Good experience so far. Will keep you posted. Show reply
Fabulous Product! – With the motor positioned in the roof, this Sirius SL906EML850 Rangehood is soooo quiet and yet very efficient. It is very easy to operate, it is discreetly tucked away under our overhead cupboards and has beautiful LED lighting. This rangehood looks fantastic in our newly renovated kitchen. Money well spent! Highly recommended!!
Super Quiet – Attractive Rangehood that is easy to clean and operate. We can actually have a conversation while the rangehood is on. The stainless steal grills are a breeze to clean and are a big improvement over the mesh type. I included the SEM5 motor options which is a powerful roof mounted motor, making the rangehood really quiet.
Good buy – I bought the Serius SL906EML850SEM1 because of the extensive research I had done. There weren't too many on the martket that competes with the quality of the Serius in material and function. The sales person advised me that there was no returns from previous buyers which gave me further confidence with my purchase. There is nothing worse than… Read more
the drips from the filter type product and the noise is too loud on high extraction. I am very happy with the purchase.
Love this rangehood! – Remote motor means quiet operation, strong exhaust for my induction cooktop, easy to clean, all stainless steel construction and is mounted under the cabinets so kitchen looks streamlined ...no canopy!
