Choose a hood based on your kitchen design
A range hood is a very important piece of equipment. Its purpose is to maintain the quality and cleanliness of the air in your kitchen - filtering it from any pollutants or unwanted odors that arise during the cooking process in the kitchen.
For this reason, it is vital to make the best choice for your kitchen when choosing a hood.

Kitchen size and layout
Since sometimes kitchen layouts require a certain type of hood, it is important to know which category it falls into.
If you have an open wall above the stove, a wall-mounted hood is best. If you have cabinets or a microwave, mount it under it or above the microwave.
Similarly, depending on the size of your kitchen or home, you may be limited in what type of range hood you can purchase. For example, a wall-mounted range hood may be difficult to install in a small kitchen or apartment.

Kitchen style
It's important to choose a hood that fits your kitchen style , not just your kitchen layout. When making this decision, consider three key features: airflow in CFM, fan speed, and noise level.
CFM determines how much air the hood can move. The higher the number, the faster the hood will cool your kitchen. It should have at least two settings (high and low speed), and it is also essential to have a low noise level for comfort.
If you have aspirations to become a professional chef and prepare heavy and intensive meals every day, you will likely want a hood with a high CFM (at least three or more fan speeds) and a noise level that you can tolerate for long periods of time.
If you only cook small meals once or twice a day — or a few times a week — a lower CFM and lower fan speed will be fine for you (though you should still make sure you can tolerate the noise level of the fans).
