How to Choose the Best Range Hood or Vent

Category: Kitchen Remodeling

Friday, June 30, 2017


Range hoods aren’t the most glamorous part of a remodel, but they’re a crucial element in a well-functioning kitchen. We’ve done the homework for you.

A good range hood captures airborne cooking grease and moisture, protecting the inner workings of your range and keeping walls and other surfaces clean. Options vary from vented to ductless and downdraft models, and from under-the-cabinet hoods to ceiling-mounted recessed vents. They typically vent air externally, but some, often used in apartments, have motors with charcoal filters that recirculate air internally.

Range hoods mounted under the cabinets are less intrusive than ceiling-mounted models. And now options are appearing for open kitchens with center islands. The ceiling-mounted, recessed kitchen vent is a remote-controlled hood that’s inset in the ceiling, so that only a stainless-steel frame and panel is visible. Increasingly popular in Europe, they’re making inroads in the US. We outline what’s required for them to be most effective and round up the top brands, including Best , Miele, Futuro Futuro, Falmec, Zephyr, and Faber (so far in Europe only).

The downdraft stovetop vent is another discreet option that clears the air while keeping sight lines open. Popular on kitchen islands, downdraft vents are slim retractable designs inserted at the back or sides of stovetops. The venting draws smoke in and conducts it to the kitchen’s chimney, where fans send it out.

  • Their computer generated "blueprints" of the various kitchen set ups I could have made my decision making very easy. They were also very helpful with recommendations concerning style and materials. The job went off in a very timely manner and despite the fact that they had to demo a kitchen that dated to 1979, there were literally no problems...
