What You Need to Know About Buying a Kitchen Range Hood
By Sean Jordan
There are many options available when buying a kitchen range hood. It can be confusing the best of
times to choose an appliance for the kitchen, but the range hood is an expensive item that you need get right on
your first purchase.
A kitchen hood is installed above a cook top or stove and extracts the cooking steam and cooking smells out
of the kitchen to outside of your home. At least some of them extract the air outside of the home, others
simply filter the air and blows it back into the kitchen. If the range hood does not do this simple task
properly, you are left with smells in the home and excess steam. You will also be left with greasy furniture
and work surfaces within the kitchen.
Fan motors are probably the single most important factor you need to consider when looking for a new hood.
The fan needs to be able to cope with the amount of steam released when cooking and extract it through the
filters or ducts. The more hobs you have on your stove, the more you will want the fans to cope with the steam
released from the pots and pans. The higher the CFM, the better.
Unfortunately you need to think about the noise the motor releases when in use. Most manufacturers boast
about how powerful their motors are, but they leave out how noisy these motors are. If the motor is too noisy
you can't have a conversation in the kitchen while you are cooking. It is also annoying for the rest of the
family if you have an open planned kitchen that joins the living room or dining room.
There are a few other factors you need to consider so it is worth doing a bit of research before going ahead
and making a purchase.
