How To Choose A Range Hood - Spend Money On The Right Range Hood

What to Look for when Buying a Stainless Steel Range Hood
 

• Baffle Filter – is the most important area to consider when buying a range hood.  The filter should be easily removable, so that it can be cleaned and maintained at proper intervals. This is because a blocked filter (aluminum filter) will stop the whole system from working. Make sure the filter is either aluminum cassette filter or baffle filter. The aluminum filter is cheap and not durable while the baffle filter is expensive and heavy but very efficient.
• High CFM (cubic feet per minute): Extraction capacity is the power in the machine that pulls out the air within range.  Higher CFM will have greater volume of air being exhausted through your range hood.
• Thick and Rust Resistant Hood Body:  Make sure the hood body is made of rust resistant stainless steel because a thicker body will:
  • Make a stronger hood body
  • Reduce the noise
  • Be easier to clean
  • Have greater durability
  • Be less likely to scratch
  • Have a sturdy Stylish Appearance
• Multi Speed Sealed Control Panel: – The speed of the fans should be adjustable according to the type of cooking you are doing. If you are cooking a light meal, you will not need to use the system on full power.  A sealed control panel protects  components  from grease build up causing mal-function
• LED Lighting – Cooking area should be well lit so the lighting that the range hood provides is very important.  LED lights provide you with better and brighter lighting, energy saving, lights burn cooler, reduced electricity consumption, longer lasting, low heat – Cool to the touch
• Less and easier Maintenance: No filter and aluminum filter models range hoods require disassembly to clean inside the hood body.  A baffle filters range hood needs no inside cleaning and baffle filters can be easy cleaned in a dishwasher.
