The Stoves Sterling 110PYR Pyramid 110cm Chimney Cooker Hood is a wide, wall-mounted hood designed to sit above larger range cookers. With an A+ energy rating and up to 760 m³/hour extraction, it’s clearly aimed at busy family kitchens and enthusiastic home cooks.
Stoves is a well-regarded British cooking brand, and this hood follows that heritage with a chunky, traditional pyramid design finished in black. It offers both ducted and recirculating installation options, so it can work in a variety of kitchen layouts.
With a user rating of 4.4 out of 5 from dozens of reviews, feedback is generally very positive. Owners rate it for strong extraction and simple controls, though there are a few compromises to be aware of around noise and filter extras.
This 110cm hood is best suited to anyone with a large range cooker or a wide hob of around 100–110cm. If you cook regularly with multiple pans on the go, fry often, or make a lot of aromatic dishes, the high maximum extraction rate and boost mode will be particularly useful.
It’s a good fit for medium to large kitchens where smells and steam can quickly spread, especially in open-plan spaces. The option to either duct outside or recirculate through filters means it will work whether you can run a duct to an external wall or not.
In terms of budget, it sits in the mid to upper mid-range for a chimney hood, so it’s more for buyers who want strong performance and are happy to pay a bit more than entry-level prices. It suits confident home cooks and keen bakers who want a hood that can keep up with heavier cooking sessions.
If you have a compact kitchen with a standard 60cm hob, or you cook lightly and only occasionally, this hood is likely to be overkill in size and specification.
The standout strength here is extraction power. With a maximum rate of up to 760 m³/hour and a dedicated boost function, this hood can clear steam and strong cooking odours quickly, which is ideal for large pans, stir-fries and intense frying.
Energy efficiency is another plus. An A+ energy rating, backed up by an annual energy consumption of just 44.5 kWh, means it’s relatively cheap to run for a powerful hood, especially if you use it regularly.
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to the stainless steel grease filters that are removable, washable and dishwasher-safe. Instead of soaking and scrubbing by hand, you can simply pop them in the dishwasher to keep performance and hygiene up.
The three fan speeds, plus boost, give you flexibility. You can run it on a lower, quieter setting for everyday simmering, then switch up when you’re grilling, frying or entertaining. Bright, efficient LED lighting also provides clear illumination of the hob while using less energy and lasting longer than old-style bulbs.
Finally, the wide 110cm pyramid design gives good coverage over larger cookers and makes a strong visual statement, especially in a traditional or range-style kitchen.
Noise is the main compromise. With a quoted maximum noise level of 63 dB and a minimum of 48 dB, this isn’t the quietest hood around, particularly on higher speeds or boost, so it may intrude on conversation in open-plan spaces.
Grease filtering efficiency is rated at class C, which is decent but not class-leading. It will still trap everyday cooking grease, but if you cook a lot of fatty foods, you may notice more frequent filter cleaning and the need for good ducting or carbon filters.
If you opt to use it in recirculating mode, you’ll need to buy carbon filters separately, and similarly, an external ducting kit is required (but not included) if you want to vent outside. That adds to the overall cost beyond the headline price.
The controls are basic buttons and there’s no display or timer. While that keeps things simple, some buyers might miss extras like a run-on timer or filter saturation indicator, which are becoming more common at this price point.
Lastly, the manufacturer warranty is only 1 year, which feels a little short for a premium-feeling hood in this size and price bracket.
Day to day, the Stoves Sterling 110PYR is straightforward to live with. The physical buttons are easy to understand, so there’s no learning curve: pick one of the three speeds or hit boost when you need a quick clear-out. This suits households that prefer simple, tactile controls over touch panels and menus.
The wide 110cm canopy gives generous coverage over a large hob, helping to catch steam and smoke before it drifts into the room. That’s especially handy if you’ve ever had issues with narrower hoods failing to capture steam from front pans.
The LED lights provide bright, focused illumination across the cooking area, making it easier to see what you’re doing without needing to rely solely on ceiling lighting. Because LEDs are efficient, you can comfortably leave them on while you cook.
Cleaning is relatively hassle-free. The three metal grease filters clip out easily and, being dishwasher-safe, they can go straight in with your normal load. Without a filter indicator you’ll need to keep an eye on them yourself, but popping them in the dishwasher every few weeks is simple enough.
Where you will notice this hood is in sound levels, particularly at the top speed and on boost. For shorter, intense cooking sessions that’s usually a fair trade-off for fast extraction, but if you like to leave the hood running for a long time, you may prefer the lower settings.
In performance terms, the Sterling 110PYR is built for serious cooking. The headline figure is its maximum extraction rate of 760 m³/hour, which puts it comfortably into the territory needed for larger spaces and range cookers. Paired with the wide 109.8cm span, it can handle multiple pans, grills and ovens in use at once.
There are three standard fan speeds, letting you match the extraction power to what you’re doing. Simmering sauces and boiling veg are well covered by the lower speeds, while high heat searing, wok cooking and grilling are where the boost function comes into its own, pulling out smells and steam much faster.
Energy performance is strong for a hood of this size and power. With an A+ energy rating and a fan efficiency class of A, it’s been designed to move a lot of air without wasting electricity. Lighting efficiency is also rated A, thanks to the integrated LED lamps which give a bright, cool light over the hob.
On the filtration side, you get three stainless steel grease filters which are removable, washable and dishwasher-safe. These capture most of the airborne grease particles and are simple to keep clean. Grease filtering efficiency is classed as C, which is acceptable but not top-tier, so pairing the hood with good ducting to the outside or fresh carbon filters (if recirculating) is important for best results.
Flexibility in installation is another plus. The hood supports both ducted extraction to an external wall and recirculating mode using carbon filters (purchased separately). A 150mm ducting diameter is standard for powerful hoods, giving good airflow when installed correctly. This, combined with a maximum chimney height of 1140mm, means it should suit a wide range of kitchen ceiling heights and layouts.
Given its 110cm width, strong extraction performance and A+ energy rating, the Sterling 110PYR sits as a mid to upper mid-range option in the chimney hood market. You are paying a little extra for the combination of size, power and brand name, but compared with similarly large, powerful hoods it represents fair value.
The overall user rating of 4.4 out of 5 from a solid number of reviews suggests that most owners feel they’ve had good return for their spend, especially around performance and build. The dishwasher-safe filters and efficient LED lighting also help keep ongoing running and maintenance costs down.
Countering that, the need to buy carbon filters or ducting kits separately, plus only a 1-year warranty, slightly weakens the value proposition. If long-term peace of mind is your top priority, you may want to factor the potential cost of extended cover into your thinking.
Overall, if you specifically need a wide 110cm hood with strong extraction and efficient operation, the price is justified. For smaller kitchens or lighter cooking, a narrower, less powerful and cheaper hood might make more sense.
The Stoves Sterling 110PYR Pyramid 110cm Chimney Cooker Hood is a strong choice for households with a large range cooker and serious cooking habits. It combines powerful extraction, flexible ducted or recirculating installation and low running costs into a smart, traditional-looking package.
Its biggest assets are the high 760 m³/hour extraction rate, effective boost function and easy-care dishwasher-safe filters, all wrapped in an efficient A+ rated design. The LED lighting and simple button controls make everyday use straightforward.
On the flip side, it’s not the quietest hood, premium-feeling though it is, and the grease filtering efficiency is decent rather than outstanding. The need to purchase carbon filters and ducting separately, and the short 1-year warranty, also take a little shine off.
If you want a wide, powerful hood to partner a 100–110cm cooker and you care about both performance and running costs, this Stoves model is well worth shortlisting. If you prize ultra-quiet operation, a longer warranty or have only a standard 60–70cm hob, there are more suitable alternatives.
