Key Features to Look For
Extraction Rate
Measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/h), this indicates how much air the hood can move. For effective ventilation, look for at least 10 times your kitchen's volume in extraction rate. Larger kitchens or those with powerful cooking appliances will benefit from rates of 700m³/h or higher.
Noise Level
Measured in decibels (dB), this tells you how loud the hood will be during operation. Quieter models operate around 50-60dB at maximum power, while budget options may reach 70dB or more. Consider models with multiple speed settings to balance extraction power with noise level.
Lighting
Quality chimney hoods feature bright, energy-efficient LED lights that effectively illuminate your cooking surface. Look for adjustable brightness levels and color temperature options on premium models. Some high-end hoods even offer ambient lighting features for additional kitchen illumination.
Filtration System
Chimney hoods can operate in extraction mode (venting outside) or recirculation mode (filtering and returning air to the room). For recirculation, look for high-quality carbon filters that effectively remove odors. Most hoods include washable grease filters that should be easy to remove and clean.
Control Type
Modern chimney hoods offer various control interfaces from traditional buttons to touch-sensitive panels and remote operation. Touch controls provide a sleek, easy-to-clean surface, while button controls offer tactile feedback. Premium models may include remote controls or smartphone app integration.
Timer Functions
A delayed shut-off timer allows the hood to continue running for a set period after cooking, removing lingering odors and steam. Look for models with programmable timers that can be set for different durations depending on your cooking style and kitchen ventilation needs.
Size & Width
Choose a hood that matches or exceeds the width of your cooking surface for optimal extraction. Standard widths include 60cm, 70cm, 90cm, and 110cm. For gas hobs or powerful cooking appliances, consider a hood that's slightly wider than your cooking surface for better coverage.
Smart Features
Premium models offer smart functionality like automatic operation that adjusts extraction rates based on cooking intensity, connectivity with compatible hobs for synchronized operation, and app control that provides maintenance alerts and remote operation capabilities.
Installation and Maintenance
Installation Options
Chimney hoods can be installed in extraction mode (ducted outside) or recirculation mode (filtered and returned to the room). Extraction mode is more effective but requires ductwork. Consider installation costs and requirements when choosing your hood type and placement.
Mounting Height
For optimal performance, wall-mounted chimney hoods should be installed 65-75cm above electric hobs and 70-80cm above gas hobs. Island models may require slightly higher mounting. Always check manufacturer recommendations as height affects both extraction efficiency and safety.
Cleaning Requirements
Regular maintenance keeps your hood performing efficiently. Metal grease filters should be cleaned monthly in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water. Carbon filters for recirculation models need replacing every 3-6 months. Wipe external surfaces weekly to prevent grease buildup.
Energy Efficiency
Modern chimney hoods feature energy ratings from A++ to E. Look for models with efficient motors and LED lighting to reduce running costs. Some premium hoods include energy-saving features like automatic power adjustment based on cooking conditions and timer-controlled operation.
