Kitchen hoods are divided into two types depending on the method of air purification. This is a tap hood and cleansing. The taps remove polluted air into the atmosphere through the ventilation system, the so-called ventilation channels. Cleaning or, as elsewhere they are called, recycling exhaust, using the built-in filters of various types, they independently clean the polluted air and do not require connection to any ventilation system. There are also models with the possibility of combining both operating modes. All types of extracts have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Allowed hoods are more effective, relatively cheap, but require additional investments during installation and often violate the integrity of the interior due to the presence of an air duct that requires disguise. Also, the advantages of the tap hood include low maintenance costs - the filter elements of these units do not require replacement, but only cleaning. Cleaning extracts are less effective, more complex in the design and, accordingly, have a higher cost than the taps. They also require periodic replacement of filter elements that are not at all cheap. But they are more comfortable in installation and do not disturb the interior of the kitchen space. Very good recycling hoods produce Concern Best - the most popular models: Best PASC 580 FM IX (07E06810), Best SP 2195 PU 1M Br 60 (07D16034) and Best 414 2M IX 90 (07560907)

Kitchen hoods are standardized by dimensions. Standard width can be 50, 60 or 90 cm. These values \u200b\u200bare tied to the standard sizes of cooking cooker surfaces. There is also a rare class of non-standard, wide hoods. Their width can be 100, 120 or more centimeters. A typical extension example is Siemens LF 21 BA 550, having a width of 120 centimeters. You should choose a width in the width, based on the size of the plate or hob - the exhaust width and the width of the plate must match or be slightly wider. This improves cleaning efficiency, but violates the integrity of the interior. But if there are no suspended cabinets next to the hood, it will look great.

In addition to dimensions, hoods are distinguished by the design features. Conditionally allocate three types of structural solutions: hoods suspended, embedded in kitchen furniture and dome hoods (they are also called fireplace). Extracts of the first type are attached to the wall or kitchen furniture directly above the cooking surface. Ventolux Roma 60 can serve as a classic example of such a solution. Built-in hoods are crashed directly into the housing of the kitchen furniture and practically invisible in the off state. But such models are more expensive than suspended. An excellent price / quality ratio has an embedded Pyramida TL60 exhaust. The most aesthetic attractive are dome hoods, which simply "hang" in the air above the cooking surface. A variety of design solutions will allow such an aggregate to become a real "pearl" of your kitchen. But the price of these devices is significantly higher than simple attached or embedded hoods. The dome models in retro-style are very popular, such as Pyramida R60.

When choosing an exhaust, except for selecting the type of filtering and design, it is necessary to take into account its performance. This indicator indicates how much dirty air hood can clean per unit of time. According to the requirements of sanitary standards, it is necessary for full air purification that in one hour the entire air kitchen passed through the hood 10 times. Therefore, knowing the volume of the kitchen, it is very easy to calculate the desired drawing performance. For example, with a kitchen area of \u200b\u200b10 square meters and ceilings height, 3 meters the volume of the room will be 30 cubic meters. Thus, for such a kitchen, you need to choose an exhaust with a productivity of at least 300 meters of cubic per hour.

Another of the important parameters of any exhaust is its noiselessness. From noise you can not get rid of completely, because the built-in electric motor in the process will still be heard. You should navigate on the model with noise level of less than 50 decibell. Exceeding this threshold is undesirable, since when cooking, sound discomfort and the extract will become a serious interference for those in the kitchen. One of the quietest huts, with noise level less than 40 decibell, are the models of Aurora, Orion, Sospesa Italian Jetair company. With the most popular models of quiet hoods you can read hereSummary and silent hoods, but these are single models, with an external exhaust fan block. They are very expensive and, as a rule, do not apply in ordinary private apartments and homes.

Select the hood is only from proven manufacturers. Cheap Chinese crafts, despite their attractive appearance, quickly lose it in a heavy atmosphere of the kitchen and, as a rule, do not possess the characteristics declared manufacturer. Good hoods produce Bosch, Electroluxe, Smeg, Pyramida and still a number of European and Asian manufacturers.
Well, that's all. As you can see, it is easy to choose enough if you follow our recommendations. Good luck to you!
