Cooking, talking, gathering: Today, the kitchen is part of the living space. The demands placed on the range hood are correspondingly high – it should be powerful, yet unobtrusive at the same time. At EuroCucina 2026, Miele is showcasing two new solutions that meet precisely these requirements: a cooktop with an integrated range hood in a compact 60-cm format, as well as a new built-in range hood with a glass panel.
With the new KMDA 5649, Miele is launching its first 2in1 solution in a 60-cm width. The appliance offers four full-size cooking zones, including a FlexZone. This brings the 2in1 system to the most common kitchen format – and makes it a realistic option even for smaller kitchens. Fumes are captured directly where they are generated – for short distances and a clean, uncluttered look in the kitchen without a separate hood. The new model targets a growing segment: according to NIQ/GfK Panelmarkt*, around 55,000 appliances with an integrated 60cm-wide extractor hood were sold in Western Europe in 2025. This accounts for approximately 10 percent of all models in the 2in1 segment – and the trend is set to continue upwards. Additionally, the KMDA 5649 follows the trend toward matte finishes and is also available in a matte black version.
In addition to the new format, Miele is expanding its portfolio with a built-in range hood. The integrated glass panel hood combines the best of both worlds: the ease of use and furniture protection of a flat panel hood with the virtually invisible integration of a fan unit. When closed, the hood is almost completely integrated into the wall cabinet. Storage space remains largely intact and is fully usable without compromising the kitchen’s appearance – everything is hidden behind the cabinet front. A single tap – and the light comes on: The lighting can be activated directly through the closed glass panel (Tap2Light). When cooking, the glass panel folds forward. The controls are directly accessible, and the cabinet body is protected from rising steam. The new series is available in two widths: as the DAG 2650 (60 cm) and DAG 2950 (90 cm).
Both new models follow a clear concept: the range hood should adapt to the kitchen’s architecture, not the other way around. With this, Miele is specifically expanding the selection for kitchen studios, architects and end customers. At the same time, the launch marks a targeted expansion of the premium range of cooker hoods through new formats and designs, aimed at tapping into high-growth segments.
“Modern kitchen architecture calls for solutions that do not take center stage, but rather integrate seamlessly,” says Dr. Uwe Brunkhorst, Senior Vice President of Business Unit Cooking at Miele. “With our new range hood solutions, we are specifically expanding the possibilities in kitchen planning—from the more compact 2in1 format to the new built-in range hood .”
Both new products will be available in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH) and other European markets starting in October 2026 and will be unveiled for the first time at EuroCucina in Milan in April.
