Why are the prices of range hoods so different?

1. Purchase channel: If you buy it in a flagship store or online direct sales store, it may be cheaper, but if you buy it in a physical store, there may not be so many discounts, so the price difference is also relatively large.

2. Brand: Some brands are very famous, and a large part of this fame is cultivated and maintained through advertising, so the price is slightly higher than some niche brands. Of course, the quality and sales volume are definitely considerable.

3. Quality: The same brand has different grades. Some people have higher technical and quality requirements for range hoods, so they buy higher-end range hoods. Of course, the price is more expensive than ordinary range hoods.

4. After-sales service: The services of regular and well-known big brands are very good, with many after-sales outlets, timely after-sales service, low cost, and better after-sales attitude. The wool comes from the sheep, and good after-sales service also requires manpower expenditure.

5. Motor: The quality of the motor will affect the range hood's oil fume extraction efficiency and noise level. High-priced range hoods mostly use imported motors, which are of better quality and not easy to break down. Low-priced range hoods mostly use ordinary motors, which are not made of pure copper and will break down after many years.

Moreover, many smart range hoods now have chips inserted in them, which are as smart as computers. They can listen to music, look up recipes, and automatically control the speed of the motor and adjust the air volume according to the amount of oil smoke. Naturally, the price of such range hoods is more expensive.

How to remove heavy oil stains from range hoods

1. Steam flushing: Use a pressure cooker to boil cold water, and then use steam to continuously fumigate the fan blades after the water boils. Due to the high temperature of the steam, the oil quickly mixes into the water and flows into the waste oil box.

2. Soaking: Soaking with detergent and vinegar. If the fan blades are full of oil, you can use a mixture of detergent and vinegar to clean them. First, remove the fan blades, then put them in a basin of mixed liquid, soak for 15 minutes, and then wipe them with a clean rag. It should be noted that the humidity of the solution should be kept at around 60°C, so that the decontamination power is stronger. In addition, this solution will not corrode the range hood or irritate the skin. After cleaning the range hood, it can also keep the range hood clean and bright.

3. Preheating: The preheating method is to lay a piece of newspaper on the stove, start the range hood, preheat for two minutes, and then spray detergent on the fan blades, repeat several times, and then turn off the switch, so that the oil will flow into the oil storage box.

4. Apply glue: Apply a layer of glue on the cleaned fan blades. After a while, tear off the oil stains. This way, the oil stains can be removed quickly because they easily adhere to the glue.

Is it better to use a range hood with direct suction or side suction?

1. Generally speaking, when we choose a range hood, we must choose it according to the decoration style of our home.

2. The direct-suction range hood is installed directly on the stove, so it can directly suck away the fumes. However, after using such a range hood for a period of time, it still produces a lot of oil, and the overall exhaust effect will also be reduced.

3. The side-suction range hood has an oil fume separator, so during use, we can effectively separate the oil fume, and it can also increase the service life of the range hood, and its size is much smaller than that of the direct-suction range hood.

What are some tips for cleaning range hoods?

1. You can use flour to clean the range hood, because the adsorption capacity of flour is particularly strong. When cleaning with flour, directly mix flour and water into a paste and apply it on the range hood, and then wipe it clean with a towel;

2. Pour some white vinegar and baking soda into an empty bowl, stir evenly with chopsticks, then use a spray bottle to spray the homemade cleaning liquid on the range hood, wipe it with a sponge, and rinse it with clean water after wiping it clean.

3. What you need to pay attention to is that you should not disassemble the range hood for cleaning frequently, because frequent disassembly and cleaning of the range hood may cause some small parts inside to deform and increase the power consumption of the range hood.
