The Anzi External Motor moves the extraction fan entirely outside your home — onto an external wall, flat roof, or pitched roof. What's left in your kitchen: a flush-fit Anzi panel, LED spotlights, and near-silence. Up to 2,000m³/hr. 4 sizes. 3 finishes.
Anzi Ceiling Cooker Hood with External Motor — When Near Silence Is the Specification
Every ceiling extractor fan makes some noise. The brushless motors in the standard Anzi range are among the quietest available — up to 3dB(A) quieter than conventional motors — but they're still in the room with you. For most kitchens, that's perfectly acceptable. For some, it isn't.
If you're designing an open-plan kitchen-diner where conversations and acoustics matter, a home cinema-adjacent kitchen, a recording studio space, or simply a kitchen where you've decided that the extractor fan is the one thing you refuse to hear — the Anzi External Motor is the configuration that changes the equation. The motor leaves the building entirely. What remains in your kitchen is a flush-fit Anzi panel, LED spotlights, and the barely perceptible sound of air moving through a duct.
The motor goes on the wall. Or the flat roof. Or the pitched roof.
Luxair offers three weatherproof external motor configurations for the Anzi External: wall-mounted (flat rear face, fits flush to an external wall), flat roof (for horizontal roof surfaces), and pitched roof (angled base so the exhaust doesn't blow directly onto roof tiles). All three are built from 18/10 rust-proof stainless steel — the same grade used in commercial kitchens — and designed to withstand outdoor conditions indefinitely. They connect to the Anzi hood body via a 5-metre cable supplied in the box, with a 1-metre power cable attached to the motor.
Two motor power options — 1,400m³/hr or 2,000m³/hr
Because the motor is external and the duct run can be up to 6.5 metres long, Luxair offers two motor sizes: a standard 1,400m³/hr A-rated motor (suited to most kitchens with duct runs up to 6.5 metres) and an extra-powerful 2,000m³/hr option for larger kitchens, longer runs, or exceptional extraction demands. Both figures dwarf anything an internal motor ceiling hood can achieve. For context, the Anzi's standard brushless motor delivers 780m³/hr. The external motor standard option almost doubles that; the extra-powerful option almost triples it — while producing no in-kitchen noise whatsoever.
Same Anzi body. All four sizes. All three finishes.
The ceiling panel itself is the same flush-fit Anzi body available in the standard range — 60cm × 60cm, 90cm × 50cm, 120cm × 30cm, and 120cm × 60cm — and all three finishes: White, Matt Black, and Brushed Stainless Steel. The LED spotlights, boost mode, and remote control all function exactly as on the standard Anzi. The only difference is what's powering it — and crucially, where that power source lives. The hood ships with the motor and the connecting cables in separate boxes. The remote control is attached to the main hood body.
What to plan for before ordering
The external motor must be installed using 150mm round or 220mm × 90mm flat ducting — no exceptions, and using smaller ducting will void the warranty. For the 2,000m³/hr the ducting should be 200mm round. For optimal performance, Luxair recommends a duct run of 3–6 metres as the sweet spot for noise reduction; the motor should not be installed higher than 2 metres above the hob. Before ordering, confirm which motor type suits your building — wall, flat roof, or pitched — and check the technical spec sheets for each size variant. Luxair's home survey service is particularly valuable for external motor installations, where the ducting route planning is more complex than a standard internal fit.
