Looks Great
This range hood is attractive and modern. It has good lighting and suction. We have found it to be quite noisy. We might notice the noise more as it is quite close to our tv. All in all, we are happy with our purchase.

Rangehood - replacing an old one
The product is great. Its powerful and fitted into the original range hood space. The only issue we experienced is that there was no ducting pack included so we had to go and source one. That delayed completion of our installation.

Great rangehood
Great rangehood with very powerful extraction. It is a very noisy system (even on low) but I didn't take off any stars for this, as I knew it was when purchasing it and I was willing to deal with the noise for a more powerful system. I love that it comes with a set of both baffle and mesh filters. I most definitely prefer the baffle ones and keep the mesh as spare. The LED light is very bright which I also like. I do wish the noise when you press every button wasn't so loud though. I highly recommend this rangehood as it definitely gets the job done. I had The Goodguys install this for me too. Purchased on a Monday (boxing day) and it was installed on Friday. I picked the option to have my old one taken away. Also highly recommended this service. The guys were fantastic and cleaned up after themselves. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!

At a glance
This 90cm Smeg canopy rangehood is a practical choice for households wanting strong extraction, simple controls and a stainless steel finish that suits many kitchens. Its 900m3/hr airflow and dishwasher-safe baffle filters make it well suited to regular family cooking. It is best for buyers who want dependable performance without overcomplication. One limitation is that it is ducted only, so it offers less installation flexibility than recirculating-capable models.

Things to consider
This model is ducted only, so it is less flexible for homes that need a recirculating installation option.
Large kitchen suitability
8/10 - 900m3/hr extraction gives it solid capability for larger kitchen spaces and regular cooking.
Noise level vs category average
7/10 - 62dBA max noise is reasonably controlled for a canopy rangehood with this level of extraction.
Odour removal performance
8/10 - strong 900m3/hr ducted extraction supports effective removal of odours, smoke and steam.
Ease of cleaning
8/10 - dishwasher-safe stainless steel baffle filters make regular cleaning more convenient.
Key benefits
- 900m3/hr Extraction: Strong airflow helps clear steam, smoke and cooking odours effectively during everyday cooking.
- 90cm Canopy Width: A broad canopy suits standard 90cm cooktops and provides good coverage over the cooking area.
- 3 Fan Speeds: Lets you adjust extraction intensity for light simmering through to higher-heat cooking.
- Push Button Controls: Simple physical controls make daily operation straightforward and easy to learn.
- 7W Strip LED Lamp: Brightens the cooktop area for clearer visibility while preparing meals.
- Stainless Steel Baffle Filters: Durable metal filters help capture airborne grease during cooking.
- Dishwasher-Safe Filters: Filters can be cleaned more easily, helping reduce routine maintenance effort.
- Included Carbon and Perforated Screen Filters: Comes with extra filter components for added maintenance convenience.
Q: Can this rangehood recirculate air or is it ducted only?
A: No. Smeg SA980CXA is a ducted-only rangehood, so it is designed to vent cooking fumes outside rather than send air back into the kitchen. The included carbon and perforated screen filters do not change its ducted-only extraction type.
Q: What matters most before buying this ducted-only Smeg rangehood?
A: Smeg SA980CXA needs a duct path to the outside, because it is not designed as a recirculating setup. That matters most in apartments, existing kitchens or renovations where running external ducting may be more complicated. Discuss the duct route with your electrician.
Q: How noisy is the Smeg SA980CXA when running hard?
A: Smeg SA980CXA reaches 62 dBA at its maximum fan speed, so it will be noticeable when extraction is working hardest. Lower settings will generally sound less intrusive, but this is not a low-noise premium canopy rangehood.
Q: Will a 90cm canopy suit a standard 90cm cooktop?
A: Yes, in most cases. Smeg SA980CXA is 90cm wide, so it lines up well with a standard 90cm cooktop and gives broad overhead coverage. Its 900m3/hr extraction also suits kitchens where steam and cooking odours build up more quickly.
Q: Does the push button control keep operation simple enough?
A: Yes. Smeg SA980CXA uses push button controls with 3 fan speeds, so day-to-day operation is straightforward and easy to learn. It does not add sensor automation, extra speed steps or app-style control features found on more advanced models.
Q: Are the filters easy to clean after frequent cooking?
A: Yes. Smeg SA980CXA has 3 stainless steel baffle filters that are dishwasher safe, which makes grease clean-up easier than hand washing. Regular cleaning still matters to help maintain airflow, especially if cooking often with oil, smoke or high heat.
