Miele Countertop Range Hood: A Complete Guide to Choosing the Right Model

Miele countertop range hood: Choosing the right one makes all the difference between a kitchen that smells and one that doesn’t. It’s not just a matter of aesthetics—the type of range hood affects noise level, energy consumption, maintenance, and how well it integrates with your induction cooktop.

At Electro Selecció, we advise customers in Girona and the surrounding region on these types of decisions every day. In this guide, we’ll explain the different types of Miele range hoods available in 2026, the technologies they feature, and which one is best suited for your kitchen.

What types of Miele range hoods are available?

Miele organizes its range of range hoods into four different styles. Before choosing a model, you need to choose a style—because each one is designed for a different kitchen layout.

Flat range hood (built-in under cabinet) — It is installed under the upper cabinet, directly above the cooktop. This is the most common solution in kitchens with upper cabinets. It takes up little visual space and blends seamlessly into the cabinetry.

Filter unit — It is completely recessed inside the upper cabinet. Only the controls are visible from the outside. Ideal for kitchens where design is a priority and you don’t want any exhaust elements to be visible.

Wall-mounted range hood — The classic model. It is mounted on the wall over the countertop when there is no upper cabinet. It is available in stainless steel, obsidian black, and white finishes, in various heights and widths.

Downdraft Hood — Miele’s most innovative system. The range hood is built into the countertop and rises automatically when you cook. When not in use, it retracts into the cooktop module. Perfect for open-concept kitchens or kitchen islands without upper cabinets.

Ceiling range hood — Mounted to the ceiling above an island or central countertop. Combines ventilation with ambient lighting. A premium option for open-concept spaces and designer kitchens.

Silver Series — The Miele countertop range hood

The Silver line meets your basic needs with Miele quality. All models feature LED lighting, a washable stainless-steel grease filter, and a safety shut-off system.

Gold Series — Connectivity and Smart Control

The Gold models feature Con@ctivity technology and Miele@home connectivity. Con@ctivity automatically connects the range hood to the Miele induction cooktop: when you turn on a burner, the range hood starts up on its own and adjusts its speed to match the heat level. It’s a convenience that, once you’ve used it, is hard to give up.

How many cm wide do I need?

The basic rule: The range hood should be the same width as the cooktop or slightly wider.

• 60 cm → for 60 cm plates. The most common size.
• 75 cm → for 75-cm cooktops or stoves that produce a lot of steam.
• 90 cm → for 90-cm cooktops or open-concept kitchens.
• More than 90 cm → for large islands or professional kitchens.

If the range hood is narrower than the cooktop, it becomes less efficient: steam from the side burners escapes through the sides before reaching the suction area.

Exhaust to the outside or recirculation?

All Miele models operate in both modes.

An exhaust system vents air outside the building—it is the most efficient and requires the least maintenance. If your kitchen can be connected to the outside, this is the recommended option.

The recirculation system filters the air and returns it to the kitchen—no construction work or ductwork required. The activated carbon filter must be replaced every 6–12 months. Suitable for situations where an exhaust vent to the outside is not possible.
