What's the best recirculation hood?

3 years ago

Hello,

We're renovating an apartment and it's not possible to put in a proper range hood with ducts. I've been going through the internet for hours to find a really good recirculation hood. I seem to get a lot of random reviews that seem to be by websites just linking to amazon to get you to buy something.

Any tips most welcome for what will function the best. Not worried about design too much. Eliminating odor is probably the priority.

Thanks

Extraction: ducted or recirculating?
Q

Hi Kit, I would personally go for a ducted extractor wherever possible. If your glass wall is making ducting difficult you could consider a downdraft model, which sits behind or to the side of the hob, or a flush mounted ceiling extractor which uses ducting that fits between the ceiling joists. Good luck!

Hello! It very much depends on the overall look of your kitchen and the layout. If having the cupboard above the cooker is imperative to make the kitchen feel more cohesive then making sure that your integrated extractor has sufficient power to be effective - your kitchen supplier will be able to tell you what they supply for that. If you were to change to get rid of the cupboard and use a ceiling or wall mounted extractor then it will become a feacture in the space as it will contrast with the cupboards. Not to say that this is a bad thing, sometimes this can add interest to the space but again it depends on the overall layout and scheme. If you had some drawings of the kitchen it would be really helpful.

Thank you all so much. We have had months and months of conversation and research on this issue and I'm just so tired of it. Now we've paid the deposit for the kitchen and the builder is booked for the extension work to start we're feeling the pressure in terms of making decisions. You've all helped to encourage me to reconsider all options again with fresh eyes (we put the whole thing on hold for a coupld of months as we're unable to make a decision). The round chimney is my preference of the two and I prefer it to any other chimney style extractor. My overall preference would be a flush ceiling extractor but this is ultimately down to what the builder says and how this could fit alongside the beam. A venting hob is a compromise for us, which I'm sure we'd get used to very quickly as you always do once things are done. We have already designed the kitchen layout and planned where everything will go so it will take some thinking to lose the drawer/cupboard below the hob. It's exhausting going over and over the same pert of the project and never quite finding a conclusion we're happy with. But if certainly helps to have all your friendly people to talk it through with. Thanks again. Ruth

Recommend me a ceiling extractor hood
Q

We have a powerful bathroom style centrifugal extractor with grilles above the oven stack and the hob (slightly off centre due to lighting/beam constraints). Reasoning was that I didn't want to box myself in or obstruct view of garden with a hood extractor and we couldn't get a ceiling extractor in for reasons above - plus they are ££. A downdraft was out of budget. Also, I wanted the least dB possible. It works really well. Ceiling is painted matt white and there is no grease on it after 2 years and I do do lot of hob cooking. The grilles are super easy to wipe down - I do it every couple of months, takes 5 mins.
