Electric hoods come in different types

Hoods can be classified based on many factors such as the presence/absence of mounting, ducts and filters.
  1. Wall-mounted hood versus island chimney hood
The wall mount chimney range hood is positioned between the stove and the wall. Chimney without hood is called as island hood. However, island chimney hood hangs from the ceiling over the kitchen island. The choice between an chimney without hood i.e., island hood and a wall mount chimney range hood comes down to personal preference. A kitchen hood that is incorporated into the design of the kitchen is an excellent option as it adds beauty to the kitchen space.
  1. Based on the presence/absence of ducts
A kitchen hood with ducts expels smoke outside from the kitchen. In hoods without ducts, the grease particles are trapped and the remaining clean, odorless air is circulated back into the kitchen. Hoods with ducts are more efficient than ductless hoods, but at the same time, ducts might hinder from the aesthetics of the kitchen. Ductless kitchen hood takes very little overhead space and does not affect the kitchen aesthetics.
  1. Based on the filter types
There are three types of chimney hood filters: cassette, baffle, and carbon. Cassette filters are built of stacked aluminium mesh; oil and grease particles attach to the mesh. Over time, the oil and grease may clog the mesh, reducing suction power. Cassette hood filters must be cleaned once a week. Baffles are multi-curve flow control panels that redirect airflow while dragging oil and heavy smoke particles down. These filters need just occasional cleaning. Carbon or charcoal filters are formed of charcoal. They are used in ductless hoods along with cassette or baffle filters to absorb odours.
