Which built-in cooker hood to choose? See 5 recommended models
A built-in hood is a device that works well in both large and small kitchens. Its compact size saves space, leaving room for additional furniture or other appliances. The hood can be cleverly hidden in a kitchen cabinet or specially designed housing. This way, it perfectly fulfils its functions while remaining a discreet element of an aesthetically designed kitchen.
Why choose a built-in hood?
Reasons why the built-in hood is so popular include:
- compact size - the smallest available under-cabinet hood is only 50 cm wide, taking up very little space,
- universal design - these devices have a simple style and are almost invisible from below the top line of cabinetry, making them suitable for any kitchen,
- affordable prices - built-in extractor hoods tend to be more affordable than wall-mounted or island models, making them accessible to everyone regardless of budget,
- versatile operation - an under-cabinet hood can operate in both extraction and recirculation modes, making it useful even in kitchens without ventilation connections or where such connections are difficult to install.
