The AEG NDV8761CT is a 60 cm angled wall hood from AEG's 8000 range, finished in black. It is built around AuroraTech adaptive lighting and SilenceTech, and carries an A+ energy class.

Extraction

Speeds are arranged as three normal settings with two intensive ones above them. When the hood is ducted outside, extraction reaches 260 m³/h on the lowest speed, 445 m³/h on the highest normal speed and 760 m³/h on the top intensive setting. Recirculated, it manages 250, 440 and 725 m³/h. AEG gives a rated noise level of 55 dB, and recirculated noise sits between 51 and 71 dB. AEG calls it an ExtractionTech Pro hood with edge extraction, and its SilenceTech aims to keep noise low as the air is cleaned. Breeze carries on quietly after the meal to clear what's left in the air. It is rated A for fluid dynamic efficiency and lighting, and B for grease filtering.

Controls and everyday use

The TouchControl sensors are simple to use and wipe. The two rectangular LED lights use AuroraTech, which changes their colour and intensity to match the time of day; AEG says to use its app for the smart lighting experience.
