Smeg Opera KD90HXE 90cm Chimney Cooker Hood in Stainless Steel

The Smeg Opera KD90HXE is a 90cm chimney-style cooker hood designed to provide powerful extraction for larger kitchens. Constructed from durable 18/10 stainless steel, it features a classic aesthetic that coordinates particularly well with Smeg's Opera series appliances, though it can complement any kitchen design. The hood offers both ducted and recirculation installation options, providing flexibility depending on your kitchen's ventilation setup. This extractor hood delivers impressive performance with an extraction range of 297 to 792 cubic metres per hour across three regular speed settings plus an intensive boost mode. It operates with noise levels between 49 and 72 decibels, balancing power with reasonable acoustic output. The unit includes three stainless steel grease filters that are dishwasher safe for easy maintenance, along with two energy-efficient 1W LED lights that illuminate the cooking surface while consuming minimal power. A non-return valve prevents backdraft when ducted externally. The Smeg Opera hood is particularly suited to kitchens with larger cooking areas or those paired with substantial range cookers where effective steam and odour removal is essential. Its 90cm width makes it appropriate for covering standard cooker widths, while the A+ energy rating ensures efficient operation. The combination of robust stainless steel construction, multiple extraction options, and practical features like dishwasher-safe filters makes it a functional and durable addition to a serious cooking environment.
