Inclined hood pros and cons: a description of the characteristics and comparison with other types.

Modern housewives, especially avid cooks, can no longer imagine their life without a kitchen hood. Indeed, on the one hand, during cooking, odors and particles of fat in the air settle on walls, ceilings, furniture and other surfaces, and on the other hand, carcinogens and combustion products released into the air can be harmful to health, especially if you stand at the stove all day.

Do not neglect the technique of this kind, because modern models of hoods can be installed even in the smallest kitchens. In household appliances stores you can find domed, inclined, angled, built-in, country models and others.

Inclined hood characteristics

Inclined models are one of the most popular today. They differ from the rest in a modern and stylish design. These devices will not only not spoil the appearance of the kitchen, but also give it a modern design. Manufacturers pleased with a large assortment of colors and sizes, so this hood can be easily selected for any interior of the kitchen area. The most popular models are black glass.

Domestic hoods are considered to be their main competitor. They are a device in the form of a trapezoid or hemisphere. They need a little more space.

REFERENCE! According to the principle of air purification, both domed and inclined hoods are divided into exhaust and recirculation hoods.

Outlets discharge contaminated air into the vent. When using equipment with this principle of operation, a prerequisite is the presence of this hole, which is located far from the device. In this case, it is necessary to lay an air duct, which does not always fit into the interior of the room.

Recirculation units clean the air of contaminants using built-in filters. The air does not go anywhere, but passes through the filtration system and leaves already cleaned. When using this cleaning method, timely replacement of filters cannot be neglected.

There are also 2-in-1 options combining both cleaning principles, switching between the two modes is carried out using the key. It is advisable to purchase equipment with this cleaning principle only if there is ventilation in the kitchen.

Both inclined and domed hoods have great performance. Performance shows how much air the device can clean in an hour. For large rooms, it is better to use an exhaust dome hood, as in such models carbon filters are practically not used, which reduce the air flow rate. Inclined models have high performance, not only due to additional engines, but also due to the inclined arrangement, which allows you to capture the flow of air rising from the hob during its natural movement.

ATTENTION! The main difference between the inclined hood and the dome hood is the installation method. The slope can be installed almost anywhere, the only thing you need to observe is the wall mount. Install such a model on the kitchen island does not work. Dome models produce various configurations, including island ones.
