Hood like a kitchen hood

August 10, 2020

During the cooking process, smells and steam are constantly generated in the kitchen.

According to the recommendations, it is essential that the kitchen is constantly ventilated, as the cooking process produces harmful substances and bacteria that are dangerous to our health.

Ventilating a room is always a good idea, regardless of whether you're cooking or not. However, when you're frying, boiling, or steaming food on a gas or electric stove, it's important to ventilate the steam. In such cases, kitchen hoods, which we'll be discussing in today's blog, are the best way to help.

The availability of hood features partly determines the extent to which the kitchen can become one of the cozy corners of the house, where it will be possible to confidently receive guests.

Therefore, the question of how to choose a hood is quite relevant.

Hood selection criteria

Power

The power of the hood is directly related to the quality of work and the total volume of the room. You should also consider the length of the ventilation duct, the diameter of the pipe, which will additionally affect the efficiency of air exchange.

Here I am sharing another blog about choosing a range hood.

Operation mode

Most hoods are connected to the kitchen ventilation system. In the case of exhaust, they exhaust air, odors and other gases outside the room. Many popular models are equipped with a recirculation mode - when the air is cleaned through filters and returned to the room. Just remember that the filters need to be changed regularly (every 4-6 months). This mode is especially convenient in winter - to maintain heat in the room.

There are models of hoods that are designed to operate only in recirculation mode. Such hoods are found in very interesting designs <without ventilation>. There are models that are built into the kitchen design, as well as wall-mounted and hanging hoods.

Dimensions
For effective operation, the width of the hood should be at least as wide as the hob. Most often, hoods are produced in widths of 50, 60 and 90 cm.

Noise level
A very noisy hood can turn your kitchen from a cozy place to a nightmare. So, when choosing a hood, pay special attention to this detail. It is desirable that it does not exceed 60 decibels.

Lighting
Lighting in hoods is mainly installed for assistance, but this feature is not available in some models.

Which hood manufacturer is better?

Traditionally, the leading positions are occupied by German and Swedish brands: Siemens, Bosch, Asko, which are time-tested. If the Scandinavian manufacturer is strictly represented in the premium segment, then the German Bosch and Siemens offer consumers high-quality hoods in the middle price range.
