What Cooker Hood Features Should I Look out For?
Controls
Touch controls for a sleek, modern look or push buttons for simplicity. The choice is yours.
Energy-Efficiency
From A-G, your cooker hoods will come with an energy-efficiency rating. An energy-efficient cooker hood could save you money and waste.
Style
Cooker hoods don’t need to be big and bulky. Rather you can get sleek, modern designs to integrate into your kitchen.
Noise
Newer, more modern cooker hoods tend to produce less noise. Your cooker hood will have a noise rating on the product listing.
Lights
For whipping up dishes late at night, lights are essential on your cooker hood. But, you have the choice of how many, and how bright you want them to be.
Remotes
Remotes make using your cooker hood simpler. From any point in your kitchen, you can easily turn it off at the push of a button.
Extracted or Recirculated – What’s the Difference?
An extraction hood sends the air outside through ducting and does not reintroduce it back into the kitchen.
Whereas a recirculation hood filters the dirty air using charcoal filters and then reintroduces it back into the kitchen. The filters work to remove the grease, smells and moisture from the kitchen air.
What is a Good Extraction Rate for a Cooker Hood?
Before we answer the question what is a good extraction rate for a cooker hood? We need to first understand what an extraction rate is and its importance when buying the right cooker hood.
“An extraction rate is a figure that tells you how much air can be removed from a room in one hour. The figure is measured in metres cubed per hour”
Simply put, the extraction rate of your cooker hood will tell you how effective your cooker hood will be every hour at removing air from your kitchen.
There is a simple formula to help you work out the extraction rate needed for your kitchen, whatever the size.
“Volume of the room (length x width x height) X 10 = minimum extraction rate (m3 )”
