Summary
When choosing a range hood, you should pay attention to the exhaust volume, wind pressure, noise and cleanliness to ensure fresh air in the kitchen and protect the health of your family.
In the kitchen, the range hood is a vital appliance. It can not only keep the kitchen air fresh, but also reduce the impact of oil smoke on our health. Choosing a good range hood can bring us many benefits:
Ⅰ. Keep the kitchen air fresh
The range hood can discharge the oil smoke in the kitchen to the outside in time, avoid the oil smoke from spreading in the kitchen, keep the air fresh, and make us more comfortable when cooking.
Ⅱ. Extend the life of kitchen appliances
Oil smoke will adhere to the surface of kitchen appliances, affecting their heat dissipation and normal operation, and shortening the service life of appliances. The range hood can discharge oil smoke outdoors, reduce the impact of oil smoke on kitchen appliances, and extend the service life of appliances.
Ⅲ. Protect the health of the family
The oil smoke contains a large number of harmful substances, and long-term inhalation of oil smoke will cause harm to our body. The range hood can effectively reduce the emission of oil smoke and protect the health of the family.
Ⅳ. Improve the aesthetics of the kitchen
The appearance design of modern range hoods is becoming more and more fashionable and beautiful, which can add a sense of modernity to the kitchen. In addition, the range hood can also be hidden in the cabinet, without taking up kitchen space, making the kitchen more tidy and beautiful.
So, how to choose a suitable range hood?
Ⅰ. Exhaust volume
Exhaust volume is one of the important indicators to measure the performance of range hoods. For ordinary family kitchens, an exhaust volume of about 15-20 cubic meters/minute can meet basic needs. If the kitchen area is large or cooking methods such as stir-frying are often performed, a range hood with a larger exhaust volume can be selected.
Ⅱ. Wind pressure
Wind pressure refers to the resistance that the range hood needs to overcome when it is working to discharge the oil smoke to the outside. Generally speaking, the lower the living floor, the greater the wind pressure required. If you live in a high-rise residential building, it is recommended to choose a range hood with a wind pressure of more than 300Pa to ensure that the oil smoke can be discharged smoothly.
Ⅲ. Noise
When choosing a range hood, pay attention to its noise parameters. Generally speaking, range hoods with a noise below 65 decibels are relatively quiet and can meet the needs of most families.
Ⅳ. Ease of cleaning
After using the range hood for a period of time, a large amount of oil stains will accumulate and need to be cleaned regularly.
At present, there are three main types of range hoods on the market: European, Chinese and side suction. Among them, the side suction range hood is relatively easy to clean because its oil fume separation plate can be removed for cleaning. In addition, some range hoods are also equipped with a self-cleaning function, which can automatically clean the internal oil stains through heating, steam, etc., reducing the trouble of manual cleaning.
Ⅴ. Quality and price
Choose according to product quality and your own budget and needs. A good quality range hood has a longer service life, making cooking more secure.
