SL906-L 850, SL906-L 520Best undermount rangehood on the market
We bought the Sirius SL906 850 rangehood on recommendation by my parents, who have been using it for a few years. We were specifically looking for an undermount rangehood and this was the most powerful one on the market in this size with 1020m3 airflow. It is simple to clean, the parts fit easily in the dishwasher. Great job Sirius!

Sleek and Stylish
I'm very pleased with the appearance of my new rangehood. Its definitely the least intrusive of any I saw in the market. It's the one our kitchen installed recommended as the best to use with an induction cooktop. The 6 year warranty you get by using the Sirius ducting is fantastic. We used the recommended installer for your area and they gave excellent service.

A powerful, sleek and easy to clean rangehood
We have done quite a few kitchen renovations and new builds in our time and this is clearly the best ducted kitchen range hood we have come across and installed to date. Our unit is ducted to the outside and therefore any nasty cooking smells are removed without a fuss, its easy to clean and very discreet under our overhead kitchen cabinets. We are really happy with our purchase.
Purchased in February 2021.

Yet to install but was definitely best in store.
While I'm yet to install this range hood I can honestly recommend that anyone interested in a quite extractor should take a look at this unit. I know my opinion only holds so much weight as I'm yet to live with the appliance but we didn't hesitate to purchase it based on the in-store demonstration and I encourage others to check it out. I'm certain that it will perform fantastically.

Powerful and good looking
I needed real suction for our new kitchen as I make lots of stir fries and soups- this product is super efficient and also looks sleek and tidy - fits discretely under our cabinets. The motor for this is outside so very minimal noise from the fan. It is easy to clean - am really happy with my purchase.

To be installed soon Kitchen replacement
Salesman at Harvey Norman showed us performance of other range hoods. This one was one of the quietest but is designed to perform with induction hot plates. Not many range hoods are suited to induction hotplates due to induction rain. I can also wash the vents in the dishwasher to keep them clean. Have seen great reviews on this product and it will be installed soon in our new kitchen.

Powerful - Well Built - Great LED
Have just purchased this range hood. We have had many range hoods over the years in our kitchens and with most I was always disappointed with their ability to extract the air. Not so with the Sirius SL906. For its size the air it pulls through is very good. Very quite on the lowest setting and still reasonable on higher settings considering the volume of air moving through.
The LED light bar is awesome. Daylight intensity that provides an even coverage over the cooking surface.
The unit looks to be well built and give confidence it will ...Read more
stand the test of time. One area where there could be improvement is the installation instructions. These are terrible at best. Please do everybody a favour and re-work the installation instructions into something useful.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Can't wait to use it
Have seen great reviews on this product and went out and purchased it. It is about to be installed in our new home. Love the bright LED light on it and the fact that I can wash the vents in the dishwasher to keep the clean. Compared to other range hoods out there I am exceptionally happy I chose this one.

Awesome looking, great product!
I love the fact I can clean vents in the dishwasher, and the lovely chrome finish. I also like the single strip lighting rather than the spot lights in other range hoods on the market, it lights up the whole cooking area without dark and light areas. I would recommend this product.

Really great product
Bought this on a retail sales person recommendation and couldn't be happier. The free upgrade to the double motor didn't hurt either. Really gets the job done and is nice and quiet which suits our needs. The light feature and the removable baffles are an excellent design feature that we really like.

Great rangehood - effective, quiet and easy to clean
I love it - it's so effective as an exhaust, even with all cooktop burners being used at once. It removes all fatty frying steam really effectively, the cabinets above my cooktop are remaining clean and non greasy. So long as you remember use the correct setting to match the amount of exhaust required. I'm also really happy about how quiet it is compared to the crap rangehoods I've had in the past. The highest setting is obviously louder but really powerful and great for wok frying etc. I like the light which I use all the time. The buttons are...Read more
very easy to access and use. I love the button that lets the fan remain on for 10mins and then turn off automatically. I like the look of the baffles, and the fact that they are really easy to wipe clean, and remove and wash, and I wash them by hand in the sink (no dishwasher for me!). I've had it for two years so far. Will definitely get this type again if I move.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Great rangehood and does what it designed to do very well
Being undermount it gives clean lines to our new kitchen. Unit vented outside which keeps most of cooking smells out of the house. Works very well and controls very easy to use. Noisy on highest setting which I use when cooking a stir fry but the cooking sounds are noisy too for the 10minutes this takes. Good led light. Haven’t cleaned as yet but is due this month on our experience to date I definitely recommend this make and model.

Quality and class
The Sirius SL906-L520 has added class to my newly renovated kitchen. A lot of thought went into my choice of rangehood . The LED light, easy clean baffle filters which are excellent for induction cooktops, quality stainless steel and the long warranty. Definately worth the money. Would recommend this everyone.

Good product, quiet, good quality
Good quality product, you pay for what you get - quality. Looks good, efficient, good lighting and easy to clean. Not the cheapest rangehood but definitely the best. Needs extra ducting and some standard clips to complete the package and to be eligble for the extended warrantee. Overall very happy.

Good performance, lousy instructions
This range hood is nice, quiet and efficient, however there are a few areas for improvement:
1. The user manual/ installation instructions are atrocious. The wiring diagram for the SEM 1 model completely ignores the earth -it's not even shown! The manual actually says the unit "must not be earthed", despite the wiring harness from the motor being supplied with an earth wire. When you ring Ariston technical support, they confirm that actually you do need to earth the unit using a screw that is not supplied. If you followed the poorly interp...Read more
reted installation instructions, you could end up with an electrified range hood and ineffective electrical safety circuit. I wonder how many units have been installed in this manner and are an accident waiting to happen? 2. There are three manuals - one for the duct, one for the unit, and one for the motor. Each is equally confusing, poorly written and missing information. For example, the user is left to determine how to affix the plastic non-return butterfly duct transition on top of the undermount unit, with gaps left at front and back that require silicone. The duct flashing instruction is incomplete and does not detail how to fold the corners of the flashing under the tiles to prevent wind and rain ingress. Luckily I have done this before once or twice! The ducting kit only comes with two band clamps when four are needed. But for some reason they provide a 125-150mm adaptor which you don't require! 3. The screws at the back of the unit are very very difficult to access. The screws at the front of the unit can deform the stainless steel facing if done up too tightly, and the countersinking provided is not sufficient for the screw heads to sit flush. Our unit was supplied with damaged buttons. Thankfully this was repaired under warranty. It is hard to see how the damage occured after leaving the factory, since the packaging is some of the best I have ever seen! The box has triple or quadruple cardboard layers and foam. And it was an undamaged box. All up, I am hoping that the operation of the unit is far more trouble-free than the installation!2 comments

Very efficient but noisy
Installed unit over induction cooktop in newly renovated kitchen. Recommended by salesperson to reduce cooking odours in small townhouse, and be quiet. It is efficient whilst cooking, but is so noisy we cannot leave on to fully eliminate odours whilst we eat (despite purchasing the recommended ducting and vent kit).

So glad the salesperson suggested this unit!!
We had done a lot of research on appliances for our kitchen reno and narrowed the range hood down to either the inboard or outboard motor version another local brand (S*******n). After discussing with my installer the merits of both models he was hard pressed to justify the extra costs for the outboard motor version. I approached Harvey Norman for a price on these units and they also suggested the SL906-L 850 which they did a killer price on. When I compared the Sirius against my previous choice the decision was a no brainer even with it being ...Read more
about $200 more expensive. Quieter running (based on comparison in store), timer delay facility, better LED lights, commercial grade baffle filters and superior style, looks and finish. Even the way the unit is packaged displays Sirius quality and attention to detail. I just can't find anything I don't like with this product! Looking forward to getting the unit installed when the new kitchen is ready. I know I won't be disappointed.1 comment

Quality and looks great
SIRIUS SL906-L850 - The stainless steel grill with no greasy filters to clean won me over when purchasing this undermount rangehood. You just pop the stainless steel grills in the dishwasher. I compared other brands relating to power/suction and quality material and the additional great appearance, for me this was a great choice, so much so I bought a 2nd one SIRIUS SL906-L520R for my butler's pantry to compliment the one in the kitchen.

Questions & Answers
Darko G.asked
Hello Sirius team,
I have in my recently renovated kitchen SL906 Excel 850 range hood. Ive had it for exactly two years. It's a twin motor built into the unit itself and it's mounted slightly higher from the cooking area due to the specific kitchen design which is why I wanted stronger range hood to accommodate the purpose. However, exactly two years since installation one of the motors is starting to sound like it's scraping or winding up when increasing the suction speed and in particular when decreasing the fan/motor speed or when the unit is coming to a STOP. I have proper and factory recommended ducted kit with straight through the roof vent. Being twin onboard motor, the unit was always loud particularly at high speeds but I was OK with that. Nothing to be concerned about, besides you can't expect best suction without some noise. However, this latest noise is not normal operating noise. Almost like a dry, rubbing, winding up or winding down rubbing noise. I have contacted local Sirius department providing them with videos/serial# and invoice. I am awaiting their response but I'd really like to know if there is anything I can do to resolve this issue? Is it recommended to have some sort of lubricant sprayed into the motor or some kind of cleaning... Please help! Thanks

Anthony F.Sirius
Hi Darko,
Arisit Technical Support will let you know if a technician needs to come out to have a look at the rangehood, or if a part needs to be replaced. In the meantime DO NOT spray any lubricant or anything into the fan/motor. If you are worried about the rangehood damaging itself it would be best to not use it - or run it just on a low setting when cooking - until you hear back from the technical department.
Regards

Hi. Looking to buy a Sirius with SEM1 to mount the motor in roof space about a metre from the hood with vertical ducting to outside. The problem I have though is from hood to motor has to go through a 90mm standard stud wall. Is it OK to use the slimline rectangular ducting through the cavity wall with the 150mm round to slimline rectangular ducting adapters either end?

Anthony F.Sirius
Hi Steve,
This is possible, but it sounds like a complicated install, so it would be best to get a Sirius Recommended installer (https://siriusbrand.com/recommended-installers/) to come out to have a look at the site before buying the rangehood to make sure it can be done properly. The rectangular ducting and other components are available on the Sirius website. https://siriusbrand.com/product-category/ducting/
