The cooking process is not always as fragrant as the finished dish. And then a cooker hood will come to the aid of the hostess. This is an important appliance that will help you quickly and effectively protect your kitchen from odors, steam and smoke.
We present you the best cooker hoods of 2019. The rating is based on the popularity of models on Yandex.Market, as well as on the results of tests of kitchen hoods conducted by foreign publications.
The hood operates by drawing in greasy and odorous air through the filter. Then it passes through the duct and goes outside the house. Recirculation hoods draw grease and fumes through charcoal filters. The air is cleaned before entering the room.
If you want the simplest installation possible, consider whether there is access through your ventilation to the street. If not, select a recycle hood.
How to choose a hood for the kitchen, which is better to buy
Appearance
There are two most common types of cooker hoods for the home: flat and domed (they are mantelpiece) hoods.
- The first, in turn, are hanging - placed above the stove or under the kitchen cabinet. And built-in - require a special cabinet.
- And the latter in appearance resemble a hood for antique fireplaces, hence their name (fireplace, domed), or are located at an angle, for which they are called oblique.
Size matters
There is a wide range of sizes of kitchen hoods, but, as a rule, they correspond to subcategories of 60, 70 or 90 cm. Built-in hoods are usually the most compact, since they must match both the depth and width of the wall cabinet.
Dome hoods (they are also used in kitchen hoods) are usually larger than flat ones, but they also clean a large area. It is worth considering the space in which your “hood” will fit, as well as the size of your kitchen and the effect of the size of the hood on its design.
Maximum performance
It determines how quickly the hood can remove “bad” air, and is indicated in cubic meters per hour. The larger the space in your kitchen, the higher should be the maximum hood performance. Ideally, it should be 10-12 times the size of your kitchen. This means that the air will be updated 10-12 times per hour.
Filters
Modern kitchen hoods are equipped with grease filters and / or a fine filter. Grease filters are:
- Metal - from perforated foil or metal mesh. They can be washed.
- Synthetic, with a layer of artificial felt. They work silently, but they can’t be washed; they will have to be changed as they become clogged.
The fine filter, it is also carbon, is a container in which activated carbon is located. It perfectly captures various impurities, but requires periodic replacement.
Work volume
Varies from very quiet (30-40 dB) to fairly loud (60-70 dB).
