Built-In Kitchen Extractors - 4 Models for Your Kitchen
Built-in kitchen extractors are among the most popular ventilation solutions in modern kitchens. They remove vapours, moisture, and unpleasant odours. Take a look at 4 different models and choose the best one for your needs.
Difference Between a Recirculating Extractor and an Exhaust Extractor
Recirculating kitchen extractors differ from exhaust extractors in that they operate with a carbon filter and are not connected to an external ventilation duct.
Exhaust extractors expel vapours outside, while recirculating extractors neutralise odours and absorb moisture through activated carbon granules within the carbon filters. Carbon filters should be replaced every 3-6 months to maintain the extractor's efficiency.
Built-In Kitchen Extractors in 4 Different Colours
The design of built-in kitchen extractors is practically identical to exhaust extractors. Some unique extractors resemble modern pendant lamps hanging from the ceiling on steel cables. However, most kitchen hoods can operate in both modes – either as a recirculating or exhaust extractor – and appear identical at first glance.
White Built-In Kitchen Extractor: GLOBALO RETIO
The Globalo Retio Built-In Hood is a quiet, discreet unit made from high-quality stainless steel painted in white. Its 3-speed settings allow for maximum efficiency of 525 m3/h.
This discreet model can be hidden in any cabinet that fits its dimensions (the unit is 60 cm wide). Two LED lights brightly illuminate the hob and surrounding area, making cooking safer and more pleasant.
The extractor is operated with convenient and intuitive Push-button controls, allowing you to easily change speed settings or turn on the light.
Globalo Retio is ideal for closed and open-plan kitchens of medium size.
Black Built-In Kitchen Extractor: GLOBALO LOTEO
The Globalo Loteo Built-In Hood combines great design with high technical performance. It’s crafted from elegant, toughened black glass that withstands the demands of a kitchen environment.
The unit offers 3 speeds plus a boost function, quickly clearing vapours from intense cooking sessions. The touch controls with LED display make it easy to control with a gentle touch. It also comes with a remote control for convenient operation. The lighting is energy-saving, helping reduce electricity consumption.
Inox Built-In Kitchen Extractor: GLOBALO LOFETTI
The Globalo Lofetti Built-In Hood has a beautiful stainless steel finish, showcasing durability and quality synonymous with this rust-resistant material.
This modern appliance is efficient (575 m3/h) and quiet (48 dB on the first speed setting). Its bright LED lighting, convenient Soft-Touch controls, and classic design will appeal to fans of minimalist style. With its discreet and compact design, it will fit seamlessly into almost any kitchen.
Grey Built-In Kitchen Extractor: GLOBALO LOTEO
The Grey Globalo Loteo Built-In Hood is another variant with toughened glass. Its unique colour complements dark matte or glossy furniture, and it provides a striking contrast with white cabinetry.
This model’s good energy efficiency class and LED strip lighting make it an eco-friendly choice that complements high-tech kitchen appliances. Its 3-speed settings plus boost function ensure thorough air purification, even after intense cooking. The toughened grey glass is resistant to high temperatures, moisture, and scratches, promising years of use.
Built-In Kitchen Extractors – Summary
When choosing a built-in kitchen extractor, keep the following in mind:
- Recirculating extractors work with a carbon filter and are not connected to a ventilation duct.
- Exhaust extractors are similar but are connected to an exhaust duct.
- With replaceable carbon filters, recirculating extractors neutralise odours and absorb moisture.
- Carbon filters should be replaced every 3-6 months.
- Most extractors can work in both modes – exhaust or recirculating. Adding a carbon filter enables recirculating mode, often more convenient for certain housing layouts.
- Some extractors work exclusively as recirculating or exhaust models.
- This does not typically apply to built-in extractors, which usually operate in both modes.
Built-in kitchen extractors offer an effective way to ventilate your kitchen. When exhaust mode is impractical, or if your kitchen concept excludes ducting, a stylish and efficient recirculating extractor will serve well as a standalone solution.
