When choosing a hood for the kitchen, the desired type is determined (suspended, built-in, wall-mounted). The following selection options are mode of operation and performance. An important criterion is the type of hood filter: aluminum, carbon, acrylic. Assessing the experience and customer ratings, I made a rating of the best cooker hoods of the year. Models in the top are grouped by type of installation with increasing price.
Criteria for choosing the “right” hood
We have shared our rating of the best range hoods years into 3 large categories, depending on the type of installation. But no matter which mounting option you prefer, be sure to pay attention - here are the parameters on the kaik:
- power;

Each of these factors is incredibly important. Only a comprehensive assessment of all these parameters will allow you to choose the most successful model of a proven company.
