Electrolux CFG526R black (942 022 878)

Built-in model from the updated Series 600 line by Electrolux, launched in 2025. The main feature of this device is the support for Hob2Hood technology, which provides wireless communication with compatible cooktops from the same manufacturer: the fan automatically adjusts speed based on the current heat level of the burners, and turns on the light when cooking starts, eliminating the need to reach for the control panel.

This is particularly valuable for a built-in model, whose controls are often hidden behind the facade. The Electrolux CFG526R kitchen hood is equipped with a single motor delivering a performance of 450 m³/h in standard mode and up to 600 m³/h on its intensive boost — the latter is useful for quickly eliminating strong odors when frying. Noise levels range from 50 dB at the minimum to 66 dB at peak load, allowing the first speed to be used in the background without excessive acoustic pressure.

Both classic modes of operation are supported: extraction through a 150 mm diameter duct or recirculation with an additional charcoal filter purchased separately. The aluminum grease filter is dishwasher safe. A useful addition is the filter contamination indicator, which reminds you when maintenance is needed for both the grease and charcoal cartridges. In addition to automatic controls, manual operation is available through button switches with three speeds. Dimensions: width 53 cm, depth 33.1 cm, height 28.7 cm, energy class – C.
