Midea 90cm Curved Glass Extractor Fan – Stainless Steel & Black Glass 90V33-EM23

The Midea 90V33-EM23 is a 90cm curved glass extractor fan that clears smoke, steam and cooking odours at 440m³/h, controlled entirely hands-free with a wave-gesture interface so you never have to touch a greasy glass panel mid-cook. Its curved stainless steel frame and smoky-black glass canopy are built to be a genuine design feature above the hob, not just a functional box bolted to the wall.

If your kitchen fills with smoke and cooking smells faster than your current extractor can clear it, or you’re tired of wiping greasy fingerprints off the control panel every time you adjust the fan speed, this solves both. The optical gesture sensor picks up a simple hand wave to change speed, so you can adjust it mid-stir-fry without touching anything. Underneath, a 105W motor drives 440m³/h of extraction across three speed levels — enough for an open-plan kitchen and living space, not just a small enclosed galley.

It installs either ducted, venting straight outside through the 150mm outlet, or as a recirculating unit with an optional active carbon filter pack if you don’t have external ducting available — useful flexibility most budget hoods don’t offer. The aluminium multi-layer mesh filters lift straight out for a wash rather than needing replacement, and two 1.5W LED spotlights light the hob properly without adding meaningful power draw. It also carries a 3-year warranty, a year longer than most appliances in this range, which says something about how the manufacturer rates its own reliability.

It suits open-plan kitchens where cooking smells travel into the living area, kitchen renovations looking for a design-forward finishing touch above the hob, and anyone replacing a noisy, underpowered old extractor. Installation height needs to sit between 650mm above an electric hob and 750mm above a gas burner, and mounting is a job for a qualified installer given the weight and ducting work involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the gesture control actually work?

An optical sensor built into the glass panel detects a hand wave passing close by, letting you cycle through the three fan speeds without touching anything. It’s designed specifically for cooking, where your hands are often wet, floury, or covered in oil and you don’t want to smear that onto a touch panel.

Do I need external ducting for this extractor fan, or can it work without it?

Both are possible. If you have a way to vent outside — through an external wall or existing ducting — connect it via the 150mm outlet for the most effective extraction. If ducting isn’t practical, it can run as a recirculating unit instead, using an optional active carbon filter pack to clean the air before releasing it back into the kitchen; it’s less powerful than a fully ducted setup but still removes grease and much of the odour.

Does Daily Discounts install extractor fans, and what height should it be mounted at?

We deliver nationwide, usually within 3 to 5 working days, but installation isn’t included — mounting and ducting work should be done by a qualified installer. The correct height is a minimum of 650mm above an electric hob and a maximum of 750mm above a gas burner; get this measurement right before installation, since mounting too high reduces extraction performance and too low can be a safety risk over a gas flame.
