Extractor hood - Are the headless hoods recommended?

Hello everyone,

we have just bought a display kitchen that we want to use for an open kitchen. The kitchen was sold without an extractor hood and therefore I am now looking for a suitable one. Regarding the rooms, the kitchen itself is 10 m² and the "adjacent" room 35 m². I do not want to save on the hood, as I definitely want to prevent any "odor nuisance". In general, I want to use an exhaust system. Can you recommend products? What do I have to pay attention to? Are the head-free hoods recommended?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!!

Best regards

That's purely a matter of taste. What you should pay attention to:
Is exhaust air even possible? If you have a ventilation system in the house, it actually isn't.
Decisive depending on the design of the hood is the exhaust air that can be extracted in m³/h and the noise level.
Then the price plays a role. I would always buy one from berbel, but €2000 is quite a bit.

A metal grease filter should be important.

We decided on a €1000 model from Siemens and hope it does its job. It should only protect the controlled residential ventilation from grease.

Hello,

how strong/good an extractor hood works depends, as far as I know, also on the diameter of the pipe it is connected to, should be at least 15 cm (my planner told me)

@schmemplkelmi I totally agree with you ... our pipe was also way too small back then ... when ours broke, we looked for one and noticed that the pipes are much bigger than ours ... I think it was about 15 cm ... now we had it remodeled and we realize ... a bigger pipe makes a lot more difference ;-)

But also remember that a lot of energy is lost through the exhaust pipe. Therefore, be sure to install an appropriate wall box in front of the pipe. Ideally one that only opens when the extractor hood is actually in operation and then closes tightly again. This can save you around €400 per year.

So it's best to inform yourself about this as well. You can already get the wall box from Weibel on amazon.

With that, you can save around €400 per year.

But that is a "slightly generalized" statement ;)

I can recommend the Miele wall box.
