Top 10 rating according to KP

1. MAUNFELD Tower C 50

Styl­ish tilt­ing hood, made of glass and met­al, will be a dec­o­ra­tion for any kitchen. Despite the low cost, it looks quite expen­sive and has a fair­ly high per­for­mance.

Characteristics:

Type of:	wall-mount­ed
Width:	50 cm
Work­ing mode:	Withdrawal/Circulation
Per­for­mance:	650 m³/h

Pros and cons:

Design, noise­less­ness, ease of instal­la­tion

Halo­gen lamps get very hot, the fil­ter is dif­fi­cult to remove

2. ELIKOR Davoline 60

The sim­plest hang­ing hood. It can work both in the with­draw­al mode and in the cir­cu­la­tion mode. Most often, such mod­els are tak­en specif­i­cal­ly for the sec­ond, so it is also equipped with a car­bon fil­ter. The advan­tage of this type of hood is that you do not need to install a pipe for exhaust to fil­ter the air, this allows you to effec­tive­ly use the space above it, for exam­ple, hang a microwave oven from above or a full-fledged cab­i­net.

3. Weissgauff FIONA 60X

A ful­ly recessed range hood is a great solu­tion if you want it to fit in with your kitchen design. It is com­plete­ly mount­ed in a cab­i­net and only the work­ing sur­face from below remains vis­i­ble. This may be nec­es­sary if the kitchen is made in an unusu­al col­or and the stan­dard black, white, gray hoods look alien. This mod­el com­pares favor­ably with its com­pact­ness, pow­er and low noise — a rare com­bi­na­tion of qual­i­ties!

Pros and cons:

4. GEFEST VO-1503

The famil­iar clas­sic “aero­dy­nam­ic” design of this hood will fit almost any­where. Large suc­tion area, huge per­for­mance. She will feel great in a large kitchen.

Characteristics:

Pros and cons:

5. LEX Tubo Isola 350 inox

This type of hood is called “ceil­ing” or “island”. The bot­tom line is that they are not attached to the wall, but to the ceil­ing. This allows you to install the hood in any part of the room, for exam­ple, above the island kitchen.

Characteristics:

Pros and cons:

6. Faber FORZA ISOLA IXGL 90

Also ceil­ing hood. It will be an indis­pens­able addi­tion to the island kitchen, in addi­tion to the huge work­ing area and pow­er, it also has perime­ter suc­tion. This guar­an­tees a very fast removal of odors through­out the room. Beau­ti­ful back­light, touch con­trols, a timer and a dis­play — very cool!

Characteristics:

Pros and cons:

7. ELIKOR Forest 90

A beau­ti­ful hood is suit­able for a coun­try-style kitchen with nat­ur­al col­ors and mate­ri­als. The pecu­liar­i­ty is that it is mount­ed in a cor­ner. Yes, a hob in the cor­ner is a rare solu­tion, but there is a solu­tion for such cas­es.

Pros and cons:

8. Weissgauff TEL 06 1M IX

The domi­no type hood is almost entire­ly built into the wall cab­i­net. It is well suit­ed for small kitchens. In the fold­ed posi­tion, it has dimen­sions of 54x28 cm, which means that it is mount­ed in a cab­i­net mea­sur­ing 60x30 cm. At the right moment, with a slight move­ment of your hand, push the “facade” towards you, and the hood turns on, and at the same time the suc­tion area increas­es sig­nif­i­cant­ly — con­ve­nient!

Characteristics:

Pros and cons:

9. Bosch DHL 555BL

Entire­ly built into the cab­i­net, two engines are quite qui­et and pro­vide excel­lent per­for­mance, Ger­man qual­i­ty and oth­er nice things. On the hood, the slid­er and the speed increase smooth­ly. The sound also gets loud­er as the speed increas­es. It is also con­ve­nient in the sense that you can set the vol­ume-per­for­mance for your­self.

Characteristics:

Pros and cons:

10. JET AIR GISELA IX/F/50

The pecu­liar­i­ty of this island hood is that it is sus­pend­ed on cables. The advan­tage of this design is that the length of the cables can be cho­sen inde­pen­dent­ly. This hood can only work in cir­cu­la­tion mode, but the absence of a ven­ti­la­tion duct and pipe does not cre­ate a feel­ing of exces­sive bulk­i­ness of equip­ment.

How to choose a hood for the kitchen

Will give prac­ti­cal advice on choos­ing the best hood Alexan­der Kon­nov, head of the kitchen assem­bly and instal­la­tion team.

Hood types

So, after this review, you prob­a­bly already real­ized that hoods are very dif­fer­ent. Let’s, to con­sol­i­date the mate­r­i­al, once again go over the main types of hoods.

Wall hood — mount­ed on the wall above the cook­ing sur­face (that is, above the stove). The most com­mon option. Now gain­ing pop­u­lar­i­ty inclined hoods — they look very mod­ern and noble, it is more dif­fi­cult to hit your head on them dur­ing cook­ing, and with perime­ter suc­tion, they also work damn effi­cient­ly.

Mount­ed hood — this is what we are used to see­ing in kitchens from time immemo­r­i­al. Cheap, cheer­ful, saves space, great for small kitchen spaces. Retractable hood - mount­ed in a cab­i­net above the stove, takes up lit­tle space. It has a mov­able front pan­el, which, when pulled out, turns on the hood itself, and at the same time increas­es the suc­tion area.

Cor­ner wall hood — mount­ed in a cor­ner, pro­vid­ed that the hob is locat­ed there. Ceil­ing hoods are also suit­able for solv­ing this prob­lem. Ceil­ing hood — mount­ed on the ceil­ing. This is a great solu­tion if you have an island-style kitchen or if for some rea­son it is not pos­si­ble to install a wall-mount­ed hood.

Ceil­ing sus­pend­ed hood — is also sus­pend­ed from the ceil­ing, with the only dif­fer­ence being that it hangs on cables and can only fil­ter the air. This is a styl­ish and unusu­al solu­tion. There are mod­els in which the design is also mov­able on rollers. At the begin­ning of cook­ing, you low­er the hood low­er, and at the end you raise it so that it does not inter­fere, but the prices for them bite very much.

Size matters

Choos­ing the right hood for your kitchen is a very impor­tant task, you need to approach it as respon­si­bly as pos­si­ble. If you choose built-in hoods, then the size must be small­er than the size of the cab­i­net in which it will be mount­ed. Take care in advance whether the cord reach­es the out­let, as well as the cor­rect loca­tion of the air out­let, and whether there is enough space for the box above the hood.

Performance

This para­me­ter is cal­cu­lat­ed using a fair­ly sim­ple for­mu­la. So, accord­ing to san­i­tary stan­dards, the air in the room should be updat­ed 10–12 times per hour, so you must first cal­cu­late the vol­ume of your kitchen, and mul­ti­ply the result­ing num­ber of cubic meters by these con­di­tion­al 10–12 times. It turns out that for an ordi­nary kitchen of 10 sq.m. with a ceil­ing height of 2.5 meters, the for­mu­la will look like this: 10 × 2.5 × 10 u003d 250 cubic meters. — such a min­i­mum per­for­mance should be at the hood.

It is impor­tant to remem­ber a few things:

1) For a fil­ter hood, this is all very con­di­tion­al, since it does not renew the air

2) For a ceil­ing hood, it is bet­ter to fur­ther mul­ti­ply the result by 1.3 in order to cor­rect­ly take into account the length of the duct and oth­er bor­ing para­me­ters.

3) The pow­er of the hood should be with a sol­id mar­gin so that the required per­for­mance is not achieved at max­i­mum engine speed, because in this case almost all hoods buzz like Boe­ings on take­off.

A trifle, but nice

There are a few more para­me­ters that are worth pay­ing atten­tion to, but they do not deserve a sep­a­rate dis­cus­sion, due to the utmost clar­i­ty for every­one. Pay atten­tion to the type of fil­ters. Decide how impor­tant built-in light­ing is to you. The loca­tion and type of but­tons, the pres­ence of an inten­sive mode, a timer, a dis­play, addi­tion­al pipes, adapters and plugs. By the way, almost every hood comes with a sten­cil with holes in order to prop­er­ly mark and drill the fas­ten­ers in the wall — a tri­fle, but nice!
