What is the best range hood? What are the requirements for choosing a range hood?

We all know that range hoods are a common kitchen appliance. Almost all households will install range hoods to avoid the intrusion of oil smoke. There are many types of range hoods on the market, and different range hoods have different effects. So what kind of range hood is better? Let's take a closer look!

What kind of range hood is good?

Simply put, when purchasing a range hood, you need to consider three criteria: strong suction power and fast suction; high static pressure and fast exhaust; and easy to clean and clean.

1. Strong suction power and fast suction

When it comes to range hoods, the first thing to consider is the ability to absorb oil fumes. The greater the ability, the better. For example, integrated stoves are generally stronger than traditional range hoods.

2. High static pressure, fast discharge

Currently, users have three major pain points when using range hoods: backflow of oil smoke on high floors, difficulty in exhausting smoke on low floors, low suction power, and oil smoke escape.

The range hood must have truly strong suction power to quickly absorb the fumes produced by cooking in the kitchen, use strong wind pressure to quickly and forcefully exhaust the fumes, and be able to adjust the gear at any time according to changes in flue pressure.

3. Easy to clean, clean

Since there is no range hood in the industry that can achieve 100% "grease separation", there will still be oil smoke entering the range hood. Over time, the inside of the range hood will be very dirty. Manual cleaning is tedious and expensive, but it cannot be left alone!

If the range hood is not cleaned for a long time, it will cause damage such as reduced suction, increased noise, corrosion and rust, and bacterial growth.

Tips for choosing range hoods

1. Look at the appearance

If the kitchen area is small, choose side suction, which saves space. If the kitchen area is large, choose top suction, which looks more elegant, especially the tower type. Pay special attention to the side suction machine, try to choose the one with the motor on the top.

2. Look at the effects of smoking

The main indicators to look at are the exhaust volume and wind pressure. The exhaust volume is recommended to be no less than 17m³/min, and there is also a stir-fry function. The second is wind pressure, which refers to the exhaust capacity, and cannot be less than 400Pa. Of course, the larger the better.

3. Late maintenance of range hood

This maintenance does not mean that we usually take care of the appearance of the range hood. We are talking about the hygiene inside the range hood. Some range hoods have automatic cleaning function, which can play a certain role. Some do not. It is mainly solved through the manufacturer's after-sales service, which should be paid. This needs to be clarified before purchasing.

What are the types of range hoods?

1. According to the suction power of the range hood

1. Chinese range hood

Chinese-style range hoods generally refer to range hoods with strong suction. The target customers of this range hood are domestic consumers. Domestic cooking fumes are relatively large, so a range hood with strong suction is more useful.

2. Western-style range hood

Western-style range hoods, such as American-style range hoods and European-style range hoods, are mainly used by European and American users. They basically seldom cook, so the smoke produced is relatively small. Basically, they just make salads, barbecues, and occasionally cook.

2. Classification by the style of range hood

There are two common styles of range hoods, one is the side-suction range hood, and the other is the ceiling-suction range hood. The ceiling-suction range hood is relatively cheap, but its ability to purify oil fumes is much worse than that of the side-suction range hood. How to say it? We need to make a comprehensive comparison. Under the same power generator, the side-suction range hood is better than the ceiling-suction range hood, but the price is also more expensive, so let's make a comprehensive comparison.
