In order to cook delicious homemade food, it is necessary to have all the utensils. A variety of kitchen hoods are essential in all homes and even public dining halls. This versatile device does not have a direct role in making food tastier, but it certainly has a great effect on reducing the smell of oil, smoke, steam, etc. Suction power, efficiency, low noise and reasonable price are the advantages of a good hood. Quality and standard hoods have a longer life, but in case of damage, it is possible to repair the kitchen hood. There is a lot of variety in the appearance of the hood, which is discussed in this article.
Types of kitchen hoods
Installing a quality hood also affects the air conditioning of the home. But the design and shape of the hood should not be ignored. Open kitchen appliances should have a stylish appearance and harmonize with other decorative elements of the house. Choose the material and color of the hood in accordance with the interior design to maintain the visual connection of the kitchen appliances. Types of hoods between cabinets, wall, island, sloping, etc. are available in the market by domestic and foreign manufacturers. Here are some of the most common kitchen hoods.
Types of kitchen hoods under cabinets
Cabinets under the cabinet are the simplest and oldest models available. This device has a simple operation and older versions have two on and off buttons and engine speed. Newer types of hoods under the cabinet equipped with a board have also been produced. Single-engine and two-engine sub-cabinet hoods are sold in various sizes in accordance with the size of the gas in the market. These hoods take up less space and do not have complex parts. But keep in mind that the hood under the cabinet has less suction power compared to newer models and makes a lot of noise when turned on.
Types of wall hoods
This device is mounted to the wall above the stove while the hood under the cabinet is connected to the cabinet body. This is the biggest difference between a wall hood and an under cabinet. When building a kitchen cabinet, it is necessary to consider the empty space for installing a wall hood. The installation site is exactly adjacent to the air outlet pipe and food vapors are directed outwards by the pipe. The interesting thing about wall hoods is that designers consider this device as one of the decorative elements in kitchen decoration. Because all parts of the hood are in sight, its appearance and design will affect the coordination of the decoration. When choosing, pay attention to the beauty element as well.
Sloping kitchen hood
The following figure shows an example of a sloping hood. This device has the ability to move and change the angle. There is no difference in function with other hoods, but compared to the chimney hood, the suction power of the sloping hood is much less. Compared to the hood under the cabinet, the sound of the hood is much lower, and this has led to a greater demand for the installation of sloping kitchen hood. A major advantage of this product is its longevity. The hood motor is far from the heat source and thus the need to repair the kitchen hood is much less over time.

Fireplace hood in the kitchen
What catches the eye in a fireplace hood is the shape of the funnel. It is suitable for installing this device both on the gas wall and on the ceiling. In terms of performance, this hood is similar to the types of hoods under the cabinet, but in terms of appearance, it is bigger and taller than the old models. Chimney hood takes up more space but is much more efficient than older models. The fireplace hood motor is very powerful and has excellent suction. This device is equipped with an electric board and a screen that controls the settings of engine speed, suction, smoke sensor, etc. The hood of the fireplace is made of heat-resistant metals and is highly resistant to moisture and temperature.
All kinds of island kitchen hoods
The main difference between this hood and other models introduced is in the type of smoke and vapor emissions. Island hoods are suspended from the ceiling and have no outlet pipe. In fact, a charcoal filter is used to remove grease and oil. Compared to a fireplace hood, the suction power of an island hood is less. For proper suction, the distance between the hood and the stove should be standard. This design is from modern models of kitchen hoods that are made especially for today's kitchens. In many houses, there is no space to install the hood and the smoke pipe is not installed in the wall. In appearance, this hood is very stylishly designed and transforms the kitchen decoration. As shown in the picture below, the hood should not be too close to the stove.
