When choosing a hob and a hood for your kitchen, it is important to consider many features, including power, ease of use, and, of course, style. While hobs are generally unobtrusive within the kitchen, especially when electric, conventional hoods when installed over the top of a hob can be quite bulky, obstructing the view and taking up valuable space within the kitchen. In order to provide an option that is less prominent and provides a sleek, more simplified aesthetic, Smeg has introduced a combination hood integrated within the hob itself, a 2 in 1 unique solution for cooking and extraction.
The Smeg Hobd is a one-piece, flush or surface-mounted combination hood in hob, finished with either copper trim HOBD682R1 ,full black glass HOBD682D1, HOBD682D2, HOBD482D2 and HOBD472D2, Neptune grey HOBD182DG and matte black HOBD382MB2. Its design provides great flexibility, as there are no limitations on where it can be placed within the kitchen; it can be installed in front of a window or even on an island unit. This impressive combination hood in hob consists of induction zones on both sides and a flush cast iron grid in the centre, which protects the powerful integrated extractor fan. This unique extraction system draws steam and vapours down through the grid quickly and efficiently, much faster than a traditional hood. There are 8 fan speeds to choose from, plus 2 intensive speeds ideal for when even faster extraction is needed.
