The quietest kitchen hoods - 7 models that are barely audible
The quietest kitchen hoods are those that operate below 50 dB on the first speed. This way, their operation simply accompanies daily activities in the kitchen. Household members can gather in peace and quiet while preparing and enjoying meals.
Wall-mounted hoods are installed on the wall above the hob, between the upper cabinets. Those with a classic T-Line shape, resembling an inverted letter T, bring symmetry and order to the kitchen. Their design is simple and universal, making it easy to incorporate them into any kitchen project.
The GLOBALO NIDARO wall-mounted hood is one of the quietest hoods in this category. Alongside the VERTA model, it reaches only 43 dB on the first speed! It's important to pay attention to the hood's noise level because if it's too loud, it tends to be used less frequently. This can lead to the build-up of moisture, which can cause mould and mildew.
Another popular type of wall-mounted hood is the angled hood. Its tilting design makes it easier to use in kitchens with limited space.
Among the quietest angled hoods is the GLOBALO WOMERO hood, which operates at just 47 dB on the first speed.
A third type of wall-mounted hood is the round wall-mounted hood. These have a modern, industrial, and futuristic tube design.
The GLOBALO ROXANO wall-mounted hood excels in this category. In the image above, you see it in the copper version, but in addition to this colour, ROXANO is also available in:
This distinctive and unique hood also operates quietly, reaching only 49 dB on the first speed. Another example where high performance (710 m3/h) goes hand in hand with working comfort.
The kitchen island is becoming an increasingly popular room layout choice among Poles, most commonly used in large, open-plan kitchens. This means that the accompanying island hood needs to be quiet to avoid disrupting time spent in the living room while relaxing.
The quietest hoods in this category start at 46 dB on the first speed. In addition to the classic tube shape that can be installed above the hob, we would like to draw your attention to the GLOBALO TUDARA island hood.
Why? Because it's a designer solution that's perfect for kitchens where connecting the hood to ventilation is impossible. In this case, all you need to do is insert the appropriate carbon filter, and the hood will filter the air in a closed system as a recirculator.
Ceiling hoods are a relatively new trend in kitchen interior design, but they are quickly gaining loyal supporters.
One such supporter is Ewa Wachowicz, whose kitchen with the GLOBALO BARDOT ceiling hood can be seen in the image above.
Besides its primary function of air purification and moisture removal, a ceiling hood also serves another, less obvious purpose – lighting. Installed above the hob, either on or in the ceiling, it becomes a modern light fixture that complements the overall kitchen lighting system.
Built-in hoods are compact and easy to fit into any kitchen style. They also achieve high levels of quietness.
Many under-cabinet hood models operate quietly. However, we would like to draw your attention to one of the newer models in our collection, namely the GLOBALO GINGERO built-in hood, which starts working from just 46 dB.
It is made of white tempered glass and stainless steel painted white. It looks elegant and modern. Its two-point, energy-saving LED lighting will take care of your electricity bills and provide comfort while cooking.
The hood is controlled by a touch panel or remote control.
Remember telescopic hoods? They once ruled Polish kitchens as loud, low-quality models, most often in a pale ecru colour. Over time, they started to be replaced by wall-mounted models and permanent built-in inserts. However, we didn't stop producing them – we invested in improving them, resulting in the GLOBALO KASPERIO telescopic hood – quiet, modern, and stylish.
Some users appreciate it for its sliding feature. To turn on the hood, all you need to do is slide out the front panel. This increases the surface area of the metal filters, whose job is to capture grease and dirt particles from the air.
Worktop hoods represent the higher end of home ventilation systems. The concept is to hide the hood within the worktop while integrating it with the hob.
The BORA BASIC BFIU worktop hood, shown in the image above, is connected to a ceramic hob and operates only as a recirculator (without being connected to a ventilation duct). This innovative device starts its quiet operation at just 39 dB on the first speed!
When choosing a kitchen hood, you consider several factors. Appearance, size, colour, performance, and technical specifications all matter.
Be sure to also choose the quietest device in its category.
A result below 50 dB on the first speed means that the hood is quiet and using it will be a pleasure.
