fumes serving to make your kitchen cleaner, safer, and more comfortable.

The step by step guide to purchasing a Chimney Hood


Choosing a Chimney Hood


Chimney hoods come in 60, 70, 90, 100, 110, and 120 cm choosing just the right one can sure be a tedious task as there are hundreds of dealers and so many different hoods to choose from. Chimney hoods are very attractive and can add that ‘pop’ you so desire to
your kitchen.

There are a couple things to keep in mind when choosing a chimney hood, regardless if
you buy a high quality product, make sure the adjustable chimney sections actually are
the correct dimensions to fit between the ceiling and the hood. If the dimensions are off
you will have to cut the main section down.

Also, if you are planning on using the re-circulatory system make sure the spare parts,
such as charcoal filters, are not a discontinued item.


Manufacturers


The most popular manufacturers for chimney hoods include: AEG, Baumatic, Belling, Bosch, Britannia, CDA, Cannon, De Detrich, Elica, Fagor, Hotpoint, Indesit, Miele, New World and Stoves.

It appears that Elica pretty much dominates the 90, 100, 110, and 120 cm canopy hoods
and offers many different colors to choose from.


Colours Styles & Features


The chimney hoods are quite stylish and available in various designs and colors which will help you in creating the perfect atmosphere for your kitchen. When looking around for a chimney hood have in mind what your specifications already are, I would suggest writing them down as the chimney hoods specifications can vary from manufacture, price and
design of the chimney hood. Below is a list of features by the size which are similar
between all the manufactures of chimney hoods.

Please keep in mind that this is just a generalization for each size, make sure you check
your specific model which you are interested in before you choose.

The Best Products to Consider

AEG and Elica is the best quality product one can buy on the market. One thing I have noticed though is that Elica offers a wider range of color but not such a wide range of
design whereas AEG has various designs from functional to sleek yet lack in the color
aspect.

I must say though De Ditrech 90cm "Picture" Chimney Hood which is stainless steel stomps the competition in the design end. I love the originality of the picture window design and would consider buy this one just based on that alone.
