How to choose a cooker hood

[Rita]

Rita, I understand that exhausting air to the outside is the best option. Am I interested in the forced recirculation function or can it be turned off? Those models that suit me are pretty cute, but they have this function. If it cannot be turned off or it works immediately when turned on, it probably won't work for me. We still want to draw the pipe out.

Recirculation hoods without pipe. If there is a pipe, then the recirculation will automatically turn off with the connection of the pipe to the outdoor air outlet.

Operating mode Recirculated air
Venting air

Now I read this in the characteristic. That is, it turns out that one or another operating mode can be used in the same hood? NOT SIMULTANEOUSLY? That would suit me. In winter, you don't particularly open the windows in the kitchen for ventilation. And with recirculation, it would be possible to clean the air after frying fish, for example. Am I guessing right?

[Pinky,]

Pinky, if you pull out the pipe from the air outlet, then the circulation mode will work for you. It works when the hood not connected by a pipe with an air outlet. And fish, as it stinks, will stink. Well, maybe a little less. This regime is complete fiction!

I apologize for being boring, but still ... If I buy a hood that has a recirculation function and I WILL NOT remove the pipe from the air outlet, then my hood will just work to remove air, right? With the same price offers, let's say, but given the design I like, can you safely take such a hood and not bother with this function? You can just ignore it, right?

[wall, wall and chimney hoods?]

And another question: what is wall, wall and chimney hoods? I understand that the point is in the mount. But what exactly is the difference? If suspended, can I not fix it on the wall above the slab? I'm already completely confused

[Pinky,]

Recirculation is needed if there is no way to exhaust air outside. The air is chased through charcoal filters and purified. Although, in fact, all the odors remain, so the best option is to take the air out.

Pinky, if you pull out the pipe from the air outlet, then the circulation mode will work for you. It works when the hood not connected by a pipe with an air outlet. And fish, as it stinks, will stink. Well, maybe a little less. This regime is complete fiction!

Exactly, recycling is a complete fiction! A friend had such a hood ... Yesterday they baked pancakes, and today they fried fish ... and so the fish is fried, but it smells like yesterday's pancakes ... tomorrow you will fry cutlets with a fishy smell .... complete misinformation on the menu turns out ..

You need to look at the appearance of these hoods, then it will be clear what is in view

[Rita]

Cooker hood CATA NEBLIA 600 IVORY I can't load a picture through the radical, again there are some glitches.
Rita, thanks for the consultation, I will probably call the firm and torture them.
And, by the way, is it not dangerous to order the hood via the Internet? Has anyone ordered? Actually, I have almost all kitchen appliances from the Internet, but small ones. Although ... for my son, we took the refrigerator via the Internet.

Hood CATA NEBLIA 600 IVORY

You can definitely attach this model to the wall above the slab.

I took the hood through the Internet, since the assortment in stores does not shine with abundance. Initially, I wanted an inclined one with glass, and at the same time at a reasonable price. In the end, I settled on Shindo (I saw in the picture and fell in love with her).

[Gaggenau]

Gaggenau presents an innovative development for the modern kitchen - a tabletop hood AT 400.
This technical and aesthetic innovation is installed behind the hob directly on the work surface and removes unwanted odors exactly where they form, preventing further spreading throughout the room.
By filtering the air during cooking, the hood helps to save kitchen space, because on top of it you can additionally place food for cooking or, say, dishes.

Built-in worktop
An extremely interesting and efficient alternative to classic hoods for wall and especially island installation.
The hood is built directly into the worktop and sucks in kitchen vapors even before they have time to rise and mix with the air in the room.
Even vapors from tall pans are effectively removed if the pan lid is slightly open.

Girls, when choosing a hood, be sure to ask yourself the question "Will I wash the removable oily panel with my hands, or are there such models where the panel material allows it to be washed in the dishwasher?"

I thought all removable grease panels could be washed in the PMM. Are there those who are not allowed?

Unfortunately there is if they are made of aluminum. On various forums, especially flies, they complain. that the panels have turned black, and, alas, are not cleaned by anything, after the dishwasher.

I read somewhere that ELICA hoods respond very well, they say the engines are good there. well, in short, it does not break. their motors are installed on other hoods from other manufacturers. so remembered for myself that it was good. can someone come in handy. our hood is connected to the air duct. and it seems that it does not pull as it should. maybe the air duct is clogged there.? well, not completely kanechno.

[Falmec GRUPPO INCASSO 50]

HELP-HELP !!!
Has anyone come across such a fully built-in hood or with this company, is it very noisy?
Liked the perimeter suction, easy to care for.
The external presence of a hood in the kitchen is depressing, so I specifically chose one to completely hide.

Falmec GRUPPO INCASSO 50


Motor power 600 cc m / h, this is certainly a bit too much for my 6.5 sq. m, but I do not have a door to the hallway, and I will use it at low speed.

cool. I think she will be warming up in the closet. and the engine will not last long.

cool. I think she will be warming up in the closet. and the engine will not last long.

What will it get warm from? It seems that the fans do not get very hot, plus I will have an exit directly from this cabinet with an exhaust hood directly into the wall into the ventilation duct, and it is always cool there

I read somewhere that ELICA hoods respond very well, they say the engines are good there.

ELIKA is one of the few manufacturers of hoods that makes them for many other brands under their name.

...

This is simply called "embedded".
I only had these (embedded). Only, either the panel (facade) was folded in front during operation or the panel of the hood itself was pulled out. I am very happy with this design.
What about your specific version - what is the depth of the hood? It is important that it completely covers the hob surface.
And for this there are retractable ones, if it does not overlap, then some of the vapors will pass by.
It will never work for 600 cubic meters!
1. The throughput of the ventilation duct is much less.
2. 600 cubic meters will give out the hood for max. speed. It will be very noisy. 100% You will never use this mode. But, in principle, the more powerful the hood, the better, since to fill the ventilation duct completely, a more efficient hood will work at a lower speed than a less efficient one. Accordingly, there will be less noise. Based on this, it is also preferable to take hoods with two motors.

cool. I think she will be warming up in the closet. and the engine will not last long.

There will be absolutely no problem with this. one hundred %

And one more general recommendation:

Most make one gross mistake when they bring the hood into the ventilation box, completely plugging the ventilation duct with an air duct from the hood and removing natural ventilation. They think that the hood will pull everything out.
The hood will pull the air below it, and all the warm air that has risen to the ceiling will hang there like a pillow. And when the hood is off, there will be no ventilation at all in the kitchen.
Even professional installers don't always bother with this issue. Whether out of ignorance, or out of laziness, I don't know.

On the net you can find good articles with recommendations on how to properly build ventilation, in particular in the kitchen.

I don't know if I can give a link to the article here.

[PapAnin]

PapAnin - thanks for the answer!

In principle, I am familiar with the basics, so:
- I leave natural ventilation, and for the hood they will punch a hole into another ventilation duct, good thing, the master knows the house and the walls like the back of his 5 fingers;
- the fact that the hoods do not pull the declared, I am aware, and the fact that, as a rule, more than 120 in the ventilation duct does not climb, too, in the course, there are 3 speeds for this, I will select the best;
- my stove is a tabletop induction cooker for 1 burner, or a pressure cooker or multicooker, so such an installation will capture you for a sweet soul

I was interested in this particular company Falmechow reliable ...

in another channel - this is good, if possible, as an alternative, you can put such a grid


I have a twin-engine hood, something about 400 cubic meters, I don't remember exactly. I don't turn on the first speed anymore, practically. Enough.

It seems like a good brand. We give it a 3-year warranty, which already says something.
Find out which service centers accept under warranty, you can call and ask them how often they are contacted for this brand.
Why is there a remote control? I can not imagine.
Your price is good, our prices for this model start at $ 600

Georgy, is there such a lattice in your house? I ask because I have one. I had to seal the holes from below with self-adhesive, because the air entering the narrow ventilation duct immediately reflects from the wall and returns to the kitchen, and does not go up. The channel is not clogged, they checked. And with taped holes, everything works fine.

Galina, yes, this is exactly what I have.
Blows nothing back. I checked it specially, because I really didn't want to hammer a separate hole in the wall for ventilation.

We see it is lucky that the ventilation in the house is still working normally.

And last week my husband bought just such a Bosch DHU 655U hood.

They have not installed it yet, they started repairing the current in the kitchen.

Must be a good hood. The Germans are doing well. My German one has been doing its job perfectly for 12 years, the main thing is to lead the pipe to the ventilation duct. The ceiling is snow-white in the kitchen, although the kitchen has been renovated for 6 years. Two months ago, I just changed the facade of the kitchen set and made all the lower shelves retractable, a strict modernist style has become a classic, the old hood has successfully fitted into the new style, since it is stainless steel.

And in our 5-storey building, each apartment has its own canals, since there are gas water heaters right after the construction of the house. Plus, I have a boiler and all the channels are there. In my apartment there are 5 channels independent from neighbors, in one kitchen there are 3 personal channels. So that will be all right. And my husband chose the hood very carefully, he is my technician and approaches the technique very scrupulously. I hope everything will work out with a bang!

It is great that the husband is a technician, a correctly selected and installed model will save you not only from odors, but also from the need to make cosmetic repairs often. Such a hood is not a waste of money, but the most effective savings. not only money, but also the time for the repair itself, and for the inevitable hassle in such cases. Happy shopping!

Will it be easy to wash such a hood?

Will it be easy to wash such a hood?

In the sense of? Like all hoods, probably. Or do you mean that she is n. well.? I have all the equipment except for the yogurt maker n. Well, I don't see any problems in washing.

Tell me, I want to take a hood, but I don't know the manufacturer Zigmund & Shtain K 216.91 S, what do you think? And in general, is it normal when there is touch control on the hood?

I have touch control - no problems, I have been using the hood since March -2012

I haven't read the whole topic, maybe someone talked about it.
I do not recommend buying a stainless steel hood. Wash it without streaks, it's something with something. It takes a lot of time. I use Amway and a steam cleaner.
If someone knows how to do it quickly and efficiently, please share how you do it.

Yesterday we went behind the kitchen and with the rest of the money bought a Samsung HDC6145 hood like this , there was no choice for us Now there is a lot of work on assembly. The stainless steel hood, so I join the question

If someone knows how to do it quickly and efficiently, please share how you do it.

What are the good built-in hoods?
And what power is needed for a kitchen of 30m2, a ceiling height of 2.4 m?

Tanya, I use Khromol. The first time I got such a small 50ml bottle, complete with a refrigerator. The tool is very economical. It contains some kind of silicone oil. It should not be used on food contact surfaces. But on hoods and refrigerators


Then I once bought a liter bottle of this chromol in a hardware store, though there was no label on it. I think that this bottle will be enough for me for a VERY long time. Chromol is easy to use. It is necessary in any way to first simply clean the surface of dust and dirt, and then rub it with chromol, a very thin layer. I usually do this with a simple piece of paper towel and rub it all over. This protection lasts for a very long time.
On the internet I managed to find only the CHROMOL variant, but I myself have not tried it in practice.

When choosing a hood, I was faced with the fact that they are 2 and 1 motors. Which is better, and what's the difference between them?

The twin-engine has more performance.
And, if we compare the work of a single and twin-engine, with the same performance, then the twin-engine will be quieter.

[PapAnin]

PapAnin Thank you! And for some reason I decided that it would be better in terms of performance, but in terms of noise, 2 motors will make more noise. It turns out she was wrong. I went to see 2-motor

And what are the good built-in hoods?
And what power is needed for a kitchen of 30m2, a ceiling height of 2.4 m?

Do you have a private house or an ordinary apartment? The question is not idle, because a lot depends on the ventilation duct ... If this is an ordinary house with a standard ventilation duct, then the exhaust power does not matter much. The channel will still not pass more than it can in terms of its diameter. Much more important is the size and shape of the exhaust "umbrella". Ideally, it should be larger than the size of the hob.

We have a private house.

You will lead the channel out into the street? So you need to either calculate the diameter of the channel for the power of the hood, or select the hood for an existing channel. There are no miracles in physics.

We don't have anything yet, we'll probably do it under the hood later. We were told to buy a built-in hood 60 cm, and when they put the kitchen and put it in too.
So I try to choose

Can you integrate a domed hood into a cabinet? Or they just have to be. I like it when the hoods are not visible, but in terms of characteristics, it seems like domed ones are better, and not so noisy. (at least in the description of the hoods on the sites, as in fact I don't know)

The hood itself cannot be built into the cabinet, it is much larger in size than the cabinet, only a pipe is possible. There is only a plug-in hood in the cabinet.

[tatulja12]

tatulja12 Thank you! And I was hoping ... Okay, boom to look for built-in. It's just that our volume needs a capacity of 1000 or more, and there are only two of them, and what would be in the locker 60.

[yulyax]

yulyax, when we were looking for a hood, it was at 60 that we were looking, they are, we even chose. But then we decided that we would stretch the pipe through the cabinet. Now we are assembling the kitchen, then I will show you what happens.

Which company is better than Eleyus, Pyramida, Ventolux or Gunter & Hauer?
My head is already swelling from these hoods ... That's it! Determined! Then I look, no, not that, give another. And so in a circle. And the difference in price there is around UAH 100 + -

I don’t know about Eleyus and Gunter & Hauer, but it’s better not to take the Pyramid and Ventolux, I somehow cut off these companies at once.
For Ventolux they wrote that he was generally Ukrainian ...

Well, thanks to your advice in kitchen furniture, I start to choose a built-in 60cm hood, until I reread this topic and my head is already boiling, and how else I will write in Google, "which hoods are the best", I'm afraid it will only help.
To be honest, I very rarely use the hood (it hums innocently), it's easier to open the window. But people say, we need a hood, so we will buy)
My kitchen is not big, but through the bar it goes into the hall, all together 15 meters)) How much power do I need the hood and so that it hums very much?

Girls tell me, you need a powerful hood in the kitchen, which one is better to watch
