Miele canopy cooker hoods fit inside a wall cabinet or chimney housing above the hob, so only the stainless steel underside shows. They suit fitted kitchens where you want good extraction without a visible chimney. Widths run from about 53 cm and 58 cm, for compact hobs, through 70 cm and 85 to 88 cm, up to 118 cm for a long range cooker or a wide run of units.

Every model has Miele CleanCover. This sealed, smooth panel covers the motor and cables, so the inside is safer and easier to wipe down. The grease filters are washable stainless steel, and every hood has three fan speeds plus a booster. Most can either duct air outside or recirculate it, but the 118 cm hood is extraction only. The models with edge extraction draw steam in around the edges of the panel, and most have dimmable lights and a fan that runs on for 5 or 15 minutes after cooking. Several also connect to Wi-Fi through Miele@home. With a compatible Con@ctivity hob, some will set the fan speed to match your cooking automatically. Hoods that support the Active AirClean filter alert you when it needs changing, which is useful if you recirculate.

To narrow the choice, start with the width of your housing and hob. Then decide whether you can duct outside, and whether you want hob-linked control. To compare these with Miele's other hood styles, see Miele cooker hoods, or look at Miele telescopic cooker hoods and Miele wall mounted cooker hoods.
