AEG cooker hoods cover the full range of kitchen layouts. There are simple 3000 Series models and the 8000 Series telescopic hood, through to designer screen hoods in black glass. Widths run from 52 cm to 120 cm, and energy ratings from D up to A+. All the hoods shown can be ducted outside or set to recirculate, so they suit kitchens with or without an outside wall.

Style is usually the first choice. AEG chimney cooker hoods make up the largest group. They come in stainless steel, matt black or curved glass, in 60, 80 and 90 cm widths. AEG angled hoods tilt the glass screen away from the hob, which gives more head room while you cook. AEG canopy cooker hoods sit hidden inside a wall cabinet or chimney housing. AEG telescopic cooker hoods pull forward from under a cabinet when needed and slide back afterwards. For a hood fitted into your units, AEG integrated cooker hoods include 90 cm and 120 cm widths. If your hob is away from the wall, look at AEG island cooker hoods and AEG ceiling cooker hoods. There's also a conventional hood and a venting hob with an extractor built into the cooktop.

Performance varies widely. Entry-level hoods move up to around 270–500 m³/h. The more powerful models add a booster setting, reaching 700–760 m³/h for quick bursts while you fry or sear. Noise matters too. The designer screen hoods start at 43 dB on their lowest speed and can connect to the internet. Some models have Hob2Hood, which links wirelessly to a compatible AEG hob and turns the hood and its lights on automatically as you start cooking.

To narrow it down, start with where your hob sits: against a wall, under a cabinet or on an island. Then pick a hood at least as wide as your hob. Ducting outside clears steam more effectively than recirculation. If you cook often, compare booster extraction and minimum noise levels.
