The best hanging kitchen hoods in 2022
Beautiful kitchen furniture and modern household appliances will quickly lose their appearance and performance if there is no hood above the stove. KP talks about the main features of suspended hoods and presents a rating of the best models of this essential accessory for a modern kitchen

There are many models of kitchen hoods, which are divided into suspended and built-in.

The main feature of the suspended hood is clear from the name: it is mounted directly on the wall, and not built into the kitchen furniture. That is, the unit is in plain sight and must not only effectively cope with air purification, but also decorate the interior.

There are many designs and designs of suspended hoods. They can be domed or flat, have an inclined tempered glass front panel, be equipped with electronic controls, a timer, and lighting. And also work in the mode of air outflow into the ventilation duct or in the recirculation mode, that is, with the return of purified air to the room. And most importantly: make as little noise as possible. 

Without a high-quality hood, a kitchen is impossible, otherwise the surrounding furniture and appliances will absorb all the consequences of cooking in the form of sprayed droplets of fat.

The stylish sloping facade of the hood is a three-stage cascade of black tempered glass. Behind the top panels is a multilayer aluminum grease filter. Air enters it through narrow slots, due to which it cools and fat droplets actively condense on the filter. 

This design of the hood is called perimeter because the air supply slots are located along the perimeter of the front panel. It easily leans back and the filter is removed and washed. On the bottom panel there is a touch control with a display, where the operating modes are displayed. You can set 3 fan speeds, turn on and off the lighting from two LED lights with a power of 1 W each.

How to choose a suspended kitchen hood

Suspended (visor) kitchen hoods got their name due to the method of attachment. They are placed under hanging cabinets, shelves or as a separate element above the stove. While these range hoods are becoming less popular, they are still great for space-constrained kitchens as they save valuable storage space.

The main parameter that users pay attention to when choosing is the ability to extract. Almost all suspended kitchen hoods are combined. That is, the air can be recirculated or removed from the room. To do this, connect the pipes to the ventilation (in the case of air exhaust) or install carbon filters on the exhaust fan (in the case of air recirculation).

  • Recirculation – polluted air is purified by means of a carbon and grease filter. Coal removes unpleasant odors, and fat traps particles of fat. After cleaning, the air is sent back to the room.
  • Air outlet – polluted air is cleaned only by grease filters and is discharged to the street through the ventilation shaft. In order to direct the air outside, flow-through hoods require ductwork. For this, plastic pipes or corrugations are used.  

Popular questions and answers 

The KP answers the most frequent questions of readers Maxim Sokolov, expert of the online hypermarket “VseInstrumenty.ru”.

What are the main parameters of suspended kitchen hoods?

Performance exhaust is measured in m3/h, that is, the volume of air that is cleaned or removed per hour. Suspended (canopy) hoods are chosen for small and medium-sized kitchens, so there is no need for high power. The noise level directly depends on the performance of the device: the higher it is, the louder the hood.

As we said earlier, suspended (canopy) models are suitable for small kitchens where high power is not required. Therefore, such hoods have a low noise level, about 40 – 50 dB at maximum speed, which can be compared with a half-tone conversation.

To the choice lamp type also needs to be thoughtful. Modern hoods are equipped with LED lamps – they are durable, give a bright and cold light that perfectly illuminates the hob. Incandescent and halogen lamps show themselves no worse, but they will have to be changed more often and save on power consumption, like LED ones, will not work.

Almost all suspended (visor) hoods have multiple operating speeds, most often 2 – 3, but sometimes more. However, more is not always good, and to be more precise, it is not always necessary.

Let’s take an example: a hood with five speeds.

• 1 – 3 speed – suitable for cooking on 2 burners,

• 4 – 5 speed – suitable for cooking on 4 burners or cooking dishes with a specific smell.

For a family kitchen, where all burners rarely work and food does not emit unpleasant odors when cooked, having two extra speeds is impractical. In addition, this will save on the purchase, since models with 4 – 5 speeds of operation are more expensive.

Suspended hood controlusually mechanical. And it has two significant advantages – it’s low price and ease of use. Less common are models with electronic control, where the necessary parameters can be set by touching the touch screen. But it is important to note that such devices are much more expensive than the first.

What are the main advantages and disadvantages of suspended hoods?

Advantages of suspended hoods:

• Budget price;

• Low noise level 

• Takes up little space  

Disadvantages of suspended hoods:

• Not suitable for large rooms 

• Low productivity. 

How to calculate the required performance for a suspended hood?

In order not to make complex performance calculations for the kitchen, we suggest using approximate parameters for a specific area of ​​u2.08.01bu89bthe room, made on the basis of building codes and rules SNiP XNUMX-XNUMX1:

• When the kitchen area 5-10 m2 enough hanging hood with performance 250-300 cubic meters per hour;

• When the area 10-15 m2 need a suspended hood with performance 400-550 cubic meters per hour;

• Room area 15-20 m2 requires a hood with performance 600-750 cubic meters per hour.
