Midea 60cm Shelf Extractor Fan, Matte Black – Ducted or Ductless 60F49-EM21-BLACK

The Midea 60F49-EM21-BLACK is a 60cm shelf extractor fan finished in matte black, built as a slim under-cupboard canopy that draws 200m³/h through 3-speed push-button controls, with a washable mesh grease filter and an active charcoal filter included as standard. It installs either ducted to the outside or as a fully recirculating ductless unit, so it isn’t locked into one setup — a genuine practical advantage over most extractors at this price point.

If your kitchen has moved toward dark cabinetry, black taps, or a black stove, a stainless steel extractor hood can look out of place — the matte black finish here is built to sit flush with that look rather than standing out as the one silver box in the room. At just 140mm tall, it tucks under a standard kitchen cupboard without eating into headroom, and the low-profile canopy keeps the visual footprint small even mounted at eye level.

The ducted-or-ductless flexibility is worth explaining properly: if you’ve got existing ducting or a way to vent outside, connect it via the 120mm outlet for the most effective extraction. If you don’t, it runs just as well as a recirculating unit, filtering air through the included active charcoal filter before releasing it back into the room — no separate filter purchase needed to get started either way. Three simple speed settings let you match extraction strength to whatever’s on the stove, and at ≤62dB(A) it won’t dominate conversation in an open-plan kitchen even running at full speed.

It suits kitchens with dark or black-toned finishes looking for a cooker hood that matches rather than contrasts, and it’s a straightforward swap for anyone replacing an old, noisy under-cupboard extractor. At 600mm wide and 500mm deep, it’s sized for a standard cupboard opening — measure your existing space before ordering to confirm the fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the matte black finish show fingerprints or need special cleaning?

It’s more forgiving than gloss black or polished stainless steel — the matte surface doesn’t show fingerprints and water spots as readily. A soft cloth with a standard kitchen degreaser is all it needs; avoid abrasive scourers, which can dull the matte finish over time.

Can I switch between ducted and ductless modes later, or do I have to decide at installation?

You can switch later, though it involves reinstallation work rather than a quick toggle. If you start ductless (using the included charcoal filter) and later have external ducting fitted, the 120mm outlet is there ready to connect — a qualified installer can make the change. It’s worth deciding your likely long-term setup upfront where possible, since switching later means re-mounting the unit.

Does Daily Discounts deliver and install extractor fans?

We deliver nationwide, typically within 3 to 5 working days, but installation isn’t included — mounting this under a cupboard and connecting any ducting should be handled by a qualified installer or a competent DIYer comfortable with electrical work.
