A good washing machine saves us a lot of time and energy. In addition, things in such a device are washed correctly, which means they last longer and look better at the same time. If you are faced with the need to buy this useful unit for your home or country house, then you probably want to know how to choose a washing machine in 2022 so that this purchase becomes a profitable and productive purchase. We have prepared for you a series of recommendations that should make it easier for you to choose the most optimal and suitable model for washing clothes and home textiles.
What to look for when choosing
Choosing a washing machine is a responsible matter. First of all, because it is quite an expensive pleasure. Even for the most budgetary washing machine, the approximate price will be about 10 thousand rubles. Elite equipment will cost 8-10 times more. In addition, this is not a seasonal purchase, but an acquisition for several years. A reliable, well-chosen good quality washing machine will easily serve you for 5-7 years, or even more. Unless, of course, you follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations. And it is about how to choose the right washing machine, so that its quality and efficiency will please you and your family, we want to tell you.
Advice:
Always pay attention to the technical specifications and parameters, they will help you choose the best model of the washing machine.
A variety of brands, models, functionality and even design can turn the head of even the most demanding customer. The range is so large that it is difficult to make a choice. But focusing only on the price and your material capabilities is not entirely reasonable, why overpay for those functions that you will not use? To understand what to look for, you first need to decide on your needs – the amount of washing, intensity, what things you will wash most often, how much space you have, etc.
What parameters to pay attention to when choosing?
Washing machine type
Washing machines are built-in or freestanding. If you started a renovation in your kitchen and would like to hide household appliances behind a furniture facade, then choose a built-in washing machine. Such a device can be placed under the countertop – if communications allow. The best models of this type of washing machines in 2022 are named models MAUNFELD MBWM.148W (8 kg wash, full leak protection, blocking, 1400 spin cycles and plastic drum) and Weissgauff WMI 6148D (without drying, washing – up to 8 kg, spinning – 1400 rpm, plastic tank, energy class – A +++).
Free-standing models are in no way inferior to built-in models in terms of quality or functionality. Moreover, some models look so stylish and attractive that it would be a pity to hide them behind a dull facade. For example, bright and streamlined Gorenje Color W 65Z03R/S (6 kg wash, 1000 rpm, delayed start, energy class – A ++, 23 operating modes) or spectacular Samsung WW12K8412OX (12 kg washing, 1400 rpm, energy class: A+++, 14 modes, protection against water leaks, protection against children, all kinds of indication).
Download types
There are models with vertical and front loading. When loading sideways, you will need space where the door could open, and in cramped bathrooms this is not always possible. But the top surface can be used as a shelf. In addition, such a machine, as a rule, has great functionality. pay attention to LG F-1096ND3 (6 kg, 1000 rpm, child and water proof, smart wash) or Gorenje MV 75Z43/S (7 kg, 1400 rpm, A+++, the fastest mode takes only 17 minutes). In terms of build quality, they are equally reliable and impeccable.
A washing machine with a vertical loading type cannot be used as a shelf. But it is more compact and will easily fit into the most limited space. In addition, you will have the opportunity to add some thing right while the machine is running. Most often, buyers pay attention to Electrolux EWT 1064 ILW (6 kg wash, 1000 rpm spin, A+++ energy class, reliable protective measures – imbalance control, blocking, foam control) and Indesit ITW A 5851 W (5 kg washing, spinning 800 revolutions, energy class – A, 15 programs, protection against children and leaks, delay timer).
additional characteristics
Efficiency classes. The letter designations show us the efficiency of washing and spinning, drying clothes, as well as energy consumption. Choose a model whose classes are not lower than A – in this case, you will get a productive, practical device, because only such a device can provide washing quality and reasonable energy consumption. However, washing machines with a drying function, as a rule, have a B-class energy efficiency, but high power, which means it is a more economical option. Which washing machine to choose – productive or economical – depends on your capabilities.
Spin speed: 400 to 2000 rpm. For high-quality removal of liquid, it is better that the washing machine wring out at a speed of 800-1200 rpm.
Reliability. Another important factor. Ask how the water leakage protection system is implemented in the washing machine model you like. Perhaps it’s just a sealed case? Or maybe an intelligent shutdown system? In the best models, you can find both methods of protection against water leaks. This is the most stable protection system. And if children live in your house, then the child protection mode will become a reasonable precaution – a reliable blocking of the washing machine from accidental pressing.
Control. What do you prefer – reliable mechanics or stylish, modern electronics. As a rule, the mechanical type of control is found in older and simpler models, but the presence of an electronic display – which is very convenient – is the lot of more modern and multifunctional washing machines. We choose what is more convenient for us. And yet, in many high-quality devices, intelligent control is implemented. It allows the appliance to independently dispense detergent and the amount of water, select the optimal washing and spinning parameters, depending on the operating mode, and also remember previously entered user settings. This useful ability of the device allows you not only to effectively wash your things, but also helps to reduce energy costs and the consumption of washing powder.
The material from which the tank of the device is made. The main load during the working process falls on the tank. Therefore, the “endurance” of the entire machine as a whole directly depends on its reliability and strength. Also, it is this indicator that determines the noise level of the device during operation. Let’s look at the most popular materials that are used in the manufacture of a washing machine tank:
stainless steel – strong and durable, but the most “noisy”;
plastic is a cheaper material than the previous one. In addition, it slightly reduces the noise level and will reduce energy consumption. Models from the middle price segment, which compare favorably in terms of workmanship, are most often equipped with plastic tanks made of durable and resistant composite materials.
Advice:
It is good if the back wall of the drum is hilly, not smooth. Thus, the efficiency of the interaction of linen and washing powder is increased.
Functionality
Although this criterion is a pricing factor, there are still some nuances. It makes no sense to overpay for a huge number of functions or modes if you do not plan to use your device intensively – for example, you installed it in the country. Absolutely all models – both budget and those whose price is much higher, are equipped with basic work programs – washing at different temperatures, a certain number of revolutions during the spin cycle, washing various types of fabric, etc.
Summing up
We told you how to choose a washing machine in 2022, so that its technical characteristics and workmanship provide you with mountains of clean and fresh laundry at least every day. What will be the decisive factor for you – price, functional range, brand or capacity – is up to you, we have only taken the liberty of recommending the most popular, discussed and frequently bought models of washing machines. Sometimes, it is the mention of a particular model in an advertisement or rating that determines our choice, but we are sure that now you will not let yourself be confused and will buy a washer deliberately and carefully. Our review article has come to an end, but we promise to keep you up to date with all the new and improved washing machines for the home.
Few people like to constantly hear extraneous odors that come from frying or baking. To minimize the contamination of the finish, to rid the kitchen of the smell of meatballs or soup, use a hood. It does not take up much space, is easy to install, and is inexpensive. The main thing is to determine the dimensions, installation location, type. After studying a lot of user reviews and analyzing the opinions of experts, I have compiled my rating of the best kitchen hoods in 2022 with a width of 50 cm.
Selecting the optimal performance
Often, many manufacturers initially indicate the area of the room (less often the volume) for which this or that model is designed. For the area indicator, a value of two and a half meters is conventionally accepted for the standard calculated ceiling height, which makes it easy to switch to conversion into the required units of volume. Too weak models will not cope effectively enough with the tasks of air exchange and removal. More powerful hoods for the kitchen – do not justify themselves in terms of economic feasibility. How to determine the necessary and sufficient parameters that would best suit your individual conditions and criteria?
The performance required in each specific case for your kitchen can be calculated independently. For this you need:
Determine the volume of air in the room (we multiply the area by the height), for example – 12 m2 × 2.5 m = 30 m3and then subtract the volume occupied by furniture and kitchen equipment, let’s say 6 m3. Approximately 24 cubes are obtained.
We take into account: the frequency of air exchange (according to the requirements of the current sanitary standards, this is an indicator of 10–12 cycles per hour, while not less than 75 m3/hour for electric stoves, and 90 m3/ hour for gas), and the power reserve of the unit is 25–30% (coefficient 1.3).
As a result, we get the value: 24 × 12 × 1.3 = at least 375 m3 in hour. We should not forget about possible losses in the duct leading to the entrance to the ventilation shaft. Each angled deflection of the flow reduces its efficiency by about 10%. If there are such turns, we add them to the calculation. For example, if there are two of them, we additionally take into account another 20%. Total result 375+75=450 m3/h No longer makes sense, lower is ineffective.
Operating parameters
Another important factor to consider when choosing is power consumption. And to be more precise – energy efficiency or the ratio of power and performance. It is no secret that models from different manufacturers spend different amounts of energy to remove the same volume of air. Therefore, their efficiency coefficients differ significantly. For example, both models of the same production Elikor Epsilon 50 and Vreznoj Blok 60 consume energy the same 225 W, while the first one is able to overtake at 430 m3/ h and the second is already 700, at a relatively identical cost. This kind of spread in performance indicators is primarily due to differences in the applied design solutions, electric drives and methods of capturing and generating flow, which collectively affect energy efficiency.
Operating modes, there are two of them – this is air exhaust and recirculation. In the first case, an air duct is connected to the hood, which is purchased and installed separately, and each turn of it entails an additional 10% loss. A hood with a recirculation function allows you to purify the air directly inside the room without removing it to the outside. In this case, the air duct is not required, and is not involved, which is especially useful in the cold autumn-winter period, and with low loads on the hood. The removal of large volumes of warm air requires additional costs for heating cold air entering from the street. For this, a system of special filters is used. But such an advantage requires a fee – they should be periodically cleaned, and changed after the resource is exhausted (especially coal ones with active absorbing properties).
Maximum noise level – unfortunately, experts have not yet invented silent or very quiet hoods. The lower its value, the more comfortable you feel. Constant noise, even a slight one, is disturbing and annoying. In any case, the noise device, which exceeds the threshold of 70 dB, is definitely not worth buying.
Collaboration Security with various gas heaters equipped with an open combustion chamber: flow-through (columns) and capacitive (boilers) – this is a very important point, which, however, in most cases is often overlooked. The danger lies in the fact that the simultaneous operation of the hood with the specified equipment, especially with the withdrawal of the air duct into one shaft, can lead to the formation of a reverse draft in the chimney and the ingress of carbon monoxide (CO) back into the room. Such requirements and parameters, without fail, must be indicated by the manufacturer in the product passport, but, unfortunately, very often they are present in it in a rather veiled form so as not to scare away.

Specifications
By form of design kitchen hoods are available in the following designs: domed, T-shaped, with glass, wall-mounted, fully built-in, canopy and country (country style). The color scheme is quite extensive and varied, and allows you to successfully fit into the interior.
Most popular colors:
classic – white, beige, ivory, red, brown and black;
other colors – yellow, orange, pink, blue, and green – are more specific and less in demand.
By type of installation and methods of fastening:
suspended (usually flat models) – installed under a wall cabinet or shelf above the stove;
built-in – the most compact, powerful and less noticeable. Mounted directly in a wall cabinet or decorative fireplace dome, or on a worktop next to the hob. Equipped with a fixed or retractable bottom panel. The first one significantly increases the air intake area and facilitates management;
wall-mounted – with wall mounting;
corner – originally designed for operation in the corner zone;
island – attached to the ceiling in the island zone (when the stove and hob are located as an island and have an approach from all sides).
The minimum distance between the hood and the electric hob must be at least 70 cm, and the gas stove – 80 cm.
The width and depth of the coverage area – in increments of 5 cm, the size range is presented in the range with a width of 50 cm to 120 cm (up to 180). Ideally, when choosing, these indicators should match or overlap the dimensions of the hob.
Which type of hood control to choose – mechanical (push-button or slider) or electronic (touch). The first option is the simplest and cheapest, but the “mechanics” are highly susceptible to contamination and sticking over time. The second is more stylish and modern. And the presence of an LCD display and a microprocessor allows you to implement as additional options:
automatic control of operating modes, switching on and off using timers and sensors that respond to the temperature of the hob and air humidity,
control and indication of the state of contamination of filters;
remote control using the remote control.
Filters are perhaps one of the main elements that affect the efficiency of the entire unit. Two types are used: the main fat-absorbing rough cleaning, and replaceable coal for the recovery of fine cleaning. (See also: How to clean the hood from grease in the kitchen)
In addition, do not forget that if the kitchen hood duct is planned to be led outside or into the ventilation system, it is necessary anti-return valvewhich prevents outside air from getting inside when it is off.
Case material:
polished stainless steel is undoubtedly the most expensive and stylish solution, but at the same time the most practical and durable, requiring minimal effort to clean work surfaces;
enameled or powder coated – an affordable budget and quite practical option, but less durable;
tempered tinted glass is undeniably beautiful and aesthetically pleasing in itself, but it requires careful maintenance and the absence of chips, stains, scratches and stains.

TOP-3 built-in hoods 50 cm
ELIKOR Integra 50
The rating is opened by the ELIKOR model, made in white. It slides out and mounts in a hanging kitchen cabinet above the stove, saving more free space in the kitchen. The model has a good motor with a maximum capacity of up to 400 m3/h in the extraction mode, and up to 280 m3/h in the recirculation mode. An innovative turbine is responsible for the operation of the hood, providing a relatively low noise level – no more than 55 dB, economically consuming electricity. Two 40 W halogen lamps are built into the hood housing for additional illumination of the hob. The model has an anodized grease-catching aluminum frame filter.
Advantages:
good lighting;
perfectly draws air;
affordable price;
attractive look.
Flaws:
high noise level;
often there are poorly assembled models;
the case is made of thin metal, so it vibrates during operation.
The device of the Russian company ELIKOR belongs to budget technology. At a price of 3450 rubles, the device is assembled poorly and makes a lot of noise. Externally, the hood looks quite attractive, especially in white, it has good lighting, the motor works properly and perfectly cleans the air in the kitchen. On the Yandex. Market 81% of buyers recommend this product.
Krona Kamilla Slim 1M 500 white
The KAMILLA SLIM model has the thinnest bar, which has no analogues in the world market. The hood remains invisible in the kitchen set, does not violate the integrity of the design. The model has a good motor with maximum performance in retract mode up to 449 m3/h, and in recirculation mode – up to 390 m3/h According to these indicators, the Krona model surpasses ELIKOR Integra 50. The device can operate at three speeds with a minimum noise level of 38 dB and a maximum of 60 dB.
The device has a Slide Stop function that will automatically turn on when the bar is extended or turn off when the bar is reversed. The hood will remember the last operating mode settings: just reach out and pull out the bar. The hood is equipped with an anti-return valve. It automatically blocks access to the ventilation system of the house when the engine is turned off, preventing foreign odors from entering the apartment.
The device is equipped with halogen lamps, which are included in the kit. They have excellent light transmission, durability, save energy. The plafond of the backlight lamp is made of polycarbonate: it does not darken, it does not scratch when washing. The model is equipped with metal grease cassettes. It also includes attachments for carbon filters that absorb excess moisture and eliminate unpleasant odors. When installed, the hood can operate in recirculation mode, which helps to reduce the cost of heating the room. Control with the Memobutton function is a keyboard that “remembers” the selected speed of the previous inclusion. You can quickly switch to the desired operating mode. I would like to note that the Krona engineers decided to conduct an experiment: the hood was connected to the network and did not turn off for 7 years, but it worked flawlessly throughout this period.
Advantages:
model with the thinnest bar, almost invisible when installed;
slide stop function;
very high quality lighting;
control with the Memobutton function;
3 speeds of work.
Flaws:
at the maximum third speed, the hood is very noisy;
inconvenient button control;
aluminum filters are very flimsy.
A very good model from Krona, especially when compared with the competitor ELIKOR Integra 50. Kamilla Slim is more technologically advanced, functional, it is more powerful, which has a positive effect on its work. The hood is assembled from high quality components, as evidenced by the test I mentioned. The price is 4800 rubles. I think that it is better to pay extra and buy this model than to buy ELIKOR Integra 50. On the Yandex portal. Market 60% of buyers recommend this product.
Jetair Aurora LX/WH/F/50
Stylish design with a combination of classic colors – gray and white. The model has a powerful motor with maximum performance in retract mode up to 650 m3/h, and in recirculation mode – up to 460 m3/h According to these indicators, the hood is more powerful than Krona Kamilla Slim 1M 500 white. Two 28W halogen lamps are built into the housing. According to this indicator, the device is inferior even to ELIKOR Integra 50. The device operates at 3 speeds with a minimum noise level of 53 dB and a maximum of 62 dB. Installed grease and carbon filters that absorb excess moisture and eliminate unpleasant odors. Aluminum grease filters to trap particles of fat and other suspended particles formed during cooking, prevent their penetration into the hood. Filters can be easily removed and washed as they get dirty. The air purifier effectively removes odors by extracting air into the ventilation shaft. If this is not possible, then there is a recirculation mode: polluted air passes through the filters included in the kit, and already cleaned is returned back.
Advantages:
powerful engine;
high productivity – 650 m3/h;
cord length – 140 cm;
removable filters that are very convenient to wash;
Spare filter included.
Flaws:
overpriced;
high noise level;
insufficient power of halogen lamps.
The device copes well with air purification due to the high engine power and removable filters of excellent quality. According to these indicators, Jetair surpasses the Krona model. But in terms of noise level during operation, the previous model clearly wins: it is quieter than Jetair, has better and brighter lighting. The price is 4950 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 75% of buyers recommend this product.
TOP-4 fireplace hoods 50 cm
ELIKOR Epsilon 50
The classic semi-circular dome of the hood allows it to be integrated into the design of any kitchen. The hood is equipped with an Italian turbine for 430 m3/h It does an excellent job of extracting and circulating air, and the built-in aluminum grease filter purifies the air. To operate the cooker hood in recirculation mode, you need an F-00 charcoal filter, which is purchased separately. A simple slider control makes the device easy to use. You can turn on the backlight or select the operating mode that matches the workload of your stove. The hood has 3 modes of operation with a minimum of 35 dB and a maximum noise level of 54 dB. Proper setting of the operating mode will help to optimize the efficiency, noise, and energy consumption of the equipment. For directional lighting of the hob, two built-in lamps with a power of 40 W each are provided on the body.
Advantages:
silent operation in mode 1;
sufficient power;
affordable price;

The switch buttons are hard to press.
A simple hood without any special “bells and whistles” and “chips”, which does its job well. Its power is enough for a kitchen of 10 m2 even when working in mode 1, but with modes 2 and 3 it starts to work very loudly. The device has insufficiently bright lighting, it is not easy to clean it. Replacing the aluminum filter will not be easy: it is hard to find it on sale, and it fails after 5 years. The price is 3990 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 96% of buyers recommend this product.
Krona Bella 500 white
The Krona model has a high-quality and perfectly polished case, it looks very beautiful. The noble white color technique will go well with other colors in the interior of your kitchen. The motor in retraction mode works with a power of 663 m3/h, and in circulation mode – 550 m3/h In the removal mode, unpleasant odors are eliminated outside your apartment through ventilation. If the circulation mode is on, the air is driven through the grease filter and cleaned. There is no carbon filter in the KRONA BELLA 500 kit, but if you install it, it will effectively capture the smells of burning and “escaped” milk. Convenient push-button control: you can change the speed of the hood, turn on the backlight (one 28 W halogen lamp is installed). The hood has 3 modes of operation with a minimum noise level of 46 dB and a maximum of 56 dB.
Advantages:
powerful motor;
low noise level;
beautiful view;
high-quality components and assembly;
affordable price.
Flaws:
charcoal filter must be purchased separately;
loud noise at power level 3;

The Krona model again pleased us with excellent quality and good work results. The extractor hood is quite powerful, easily copes with its duties. It is more powerful than ELIKOR Epsilon 50, and on the 2nd operating mode in terms of noise level, it is more acceptable. But in mode 3, it works just as loudly as a competitor. The package does not include a charcoal filter, but it is inexpensive, I advise you to purchase, as it perfectly removes odors. In terms of quality and assembly, I have no complaints. The price is 4600 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 77% of buyers recommend this product.
LEX Mini 500
The inclined hood LEX MINI 500 attracts with its stylish design, which is why it is so popular. The device comes in a white laconic case with a convenient push-button control. The motor in retraction mode works with a power of 680 m3/h, and in circulation mode – 320 m3/h In the extraction mode, this hood is slightly more powerful than the Krona Bella, and in the circulation mode, on the contrary, it is weaker. During operation, air is driven through a grease filter, you can install an additional carbon filter, but you need to buy it separately. It can operate at 3 speeds with a minimum noise level of 38 dB, a maximum noise level of 48 dB, which is even quieter than the previous model. Illumination is provided by two 35W halogen lamps.

The hood of the German company Hansa is of good quality, but does not do its job very well. Its power is not enough to purify the air from odors, especially if it works at speed 1. At levels 2 and 3, noise will cause great discomfort. The aluminum filter can be easily removed, it washes well, the carbon filter is not available, but you can purchase it. The price is 2400 rubles. Given this minimum price, it is difficult to count on an excellent result of work. On the Yandex. Market 90% of buyers recommend this item.
ELIKOR Davoline 50
Model Davoline 50 looks unattractive, especially when compared with similar models. For control, a slider mechanism is used that regulates the operation of the motor, capable of delivering maximum power up to 290 m3/h, which is less than in Hansa OSC 5111 WH. 3 speeds of operation with a minimum noise level of 34 dB and a maximum of 52 dB. The device will quickly clear the kitchen of smoke and unpleasant odors. The kit includes a grease aluminum filter, a carbon filter can be purchased separately. One 40 W incandescent lamp is built into the hood housing.

Flaws:
very weak suction power even at 3 speeds;
very noisy operation at 2 and 3 speeds;
the lighting lamp is bad, it is advisable to replace it with an LED one;
Charcoal filter must be purchased separately.
The model has little power even compared to the competitor Hansa OSC 5111 WH. This power is hardly enough for 3 speeds of operation, at 1 and 2 it practically does not suck. But at speed 3, the noise level is unbearable, even though it is less noisy than the Hansa in terms of characteristics. In appearance, the previous model looks better, Davoline 50 looks more like an ordinary white piece of plastic. The price is 2550 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 94% of buyers recommend this product.
GEFEST VO-2501 K47
The GEFEST model with a beautiful design, unlike ELIKOR Davoline 50, is made in brown. The hood has push-button control: you can choose one of three operating speeds. The minimum noise level is 38 dB, the maximum is 62 dB. Maximum productivity in retraction mode – up to 300 m3/h, and in recirculation mode – up to 150 m3/h 2 incandescent lamps with a power of 25 W are built into the housing. The aluminum filter can be removed easily, it washes well, there is no carbon filter, but it can be installed.
Advantages:
good build quality;
the power is small, but it is enough even when working at 2 speeds;
good aluminum filter;
attractive design;
affordable price.
Flaws:
at 2 and 3 speeds it works more noisily than at the first;
charcoal filter must be purchased separately;
only available in one color.
The GEFEST model is a hood with a high-quality assembly and a good engine that does not have high power, but works very well at 2 and 3 speeds. If compared in terms of noise level, it works quieter than ELIKOR Davoline 50 and Hansa OSC 5111 WH, although the characteristics should be the other way around. In terms of lighting quality, it is better than Hansa OSC 5111 with its single lamp. I think this hood is the most attractive and high-quality among these three appliances. The price is 3500 rubles. On the Yandex. Market 100% buyers recommend this item.

Hood to the kitchen 60 cm: what is the choice of the consumer based on
The first and, perhaps, the most important criterion for choosing a 60 cm kitchen hood is its performance (m3/hour). It is he who determines whether this hood is able to cope with its tasks or not. In the product passport, the manufacturer indicates the area of the room for which his particular model is designed. Knowing the area and height of the room, you can easily determine the volume of your kitchen. And considering: the air exchange rate is 10–12 cycles per hour, and the required power reserve is 25–30%, you should simply multiply the value of the volume by 10 and by 1.3 – this is the optimal value of the performance you need. Weak hoods are unable to effectively cope with the tasks of air exchange and removal. And more powerful ones are unreasonably expensive in terms of economy and expediency.
Power consumption and energy efficiency – in fact, these are the two main parameters that you should pay attention to when choosing a hood for the kitchen. It is no secret that different devices spend different amounts of energy to remove the same volume of air. For example, both domed wall models of the same production Elikor Epsilon 60 and Silver Storm 60 they equally consume 225 W, while the first distills 430 cubic meters per hour, and the other – 650. Such a spread in operating parameters is due to differences in the applied design solutions, methods of capturing and generating the flow. Therefore, their efficiency is significantly different, although the price is approximately the same.
Noise level – the lower its value, the more comfortable you feel. Constant noise, even a slight one, interferes, distracts and annoys. Unfortunately, designers and engineers have not yet succeeded in creating completely silent or completely quiet hoods. Experts do not advise choosing a hood whose noise exceeds the threshold of 70 dB, even if a built-in hood is selected.
Operating modes – there are two options, this is the removal of air to the outside or its recirculation inside the room. In the first version, an air duct is connected to the hood, which is purchased and installed separately. And in the second – the hood to the kitchen without an air duct allows you to clean the air inside the room without removing it outside. In this mode, there is no need for an air duct, and it is actually not used, which is especially economical in the cold autumn-winter period. The removal of large volumes of warm air requires additional costs for heating cold air entering from the street. Each mode has its own filtration system.
That’s why filters – this is, perhaps, one of the main structural elements that affects the efficiency of the entire unit and comfort in the working area. Today, two types are used: the main coarse cleaning (mesh made of steel or aluminum) absorbing fats, and the replaceable carbon fine cleaning (with active absorbing properties) for recovery, removal of odors and fine particles. Mesh periodically need to be washed from pollution, and coal – only replaced with a new one after the resource is exhausted.
When connecting the exhaust air duct to the mine ventilation system or when taking it outside, it is necessary to foresee the installation anti-return valve, which prevents the ingress of external air into the room in the off state. Not all of their models are equipped with this device.
In most cases, buyers often forget and completely lose sight of the question collaboration security with existing gas heaters with an open combustion chamber: flow-through (columns) and capacitive (boilers). Actually this is a very important point. The danger lies in the fact that the joint operation of the hood with this equipment can lead to the formation of reverse draft and the ingress of carbon monoxide (CO) from the chimney back into the room. Such requirements, without fail, must be indicated by the manufacturer in the product passport, but often, unfortunately, they are often ignored and are present in an implicit or veiled form.
Design, form and construction hoods are presented in a wide variety: classic domed, T-shaped, with glass, hinged, fully built-in, canopy and country (country style). The color scheme is quite extensive and varied, and allows you to successfully fit into the interior. Most popular colors:
timeless classics – white, beige, ivory, red, brown and black;
modern techno style – polished stainless steel, silver, chrome, brushed graphite, bronze, copper and gold.

Types of fastening and mounting of the hood
According to the type of fastening and installation, kitchen hoods are divided as:
Fully built-in – installed in a wall cabinet or dome of a decorative fireplace dome, in rare cases on a desktop in close proximity to the hob. Equipped with a retractable or fixed bottom panel, which significantly increases the cross-sectional area of the air intake, and facilitates management.
Wall – with various options for mounting on the wall.
Flat hanging – mounted under a wall cabinet or shelf above the stove.
Corner – originally designed for operation in the corner zone.
Island – fastened to the ceiling in the area of the so-called “island” (when a free-standing stove and desktop are located in the middle of the kitchen and have free access from any side).
Dimensions and type of hood control
Width and depth coverage area (cm) – the right choice of hood when the geometric dimensions completely coincide or slightly overlap the dimensions of the plate. And the effective distance between the hood itself and the hob for electric stoves should be at least 70 cm, for gas stoves – 80 cm.
Control – mechanical (push-button or slider) or electronic (touch). The first option is the simplest, cheapest and most common. However, the “mechanics”, over time, are subject to contamination and sticking. Electronic ones are more stylish and modern, and the presence of a microprocessor and an indication display allow you to implement additional options: ( See also: How to choose a 50 cm kitchen hood)
automatic control of operating modes, switching on and off using timers and sensors that respond to the temperature of the hob and air humidity;
control and indication of the state of contamination of filters;
remote control using the remote control.
Housing material
Undoubtedly, the most expensive, stylish and at the same time practical solution, especially for built-in wardrobes, is polished stainless steel. Due to the high chemical resistance of steel and the protective layer, it is one of the most reliable and durable materials that requires minimal effort to clean work surfaces.
Enamel or powder coating is an affordable budget option, although less durable, but also quite practical if the painting and application itself is carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of technology.
Tempered tinted glass is undoubtedly beautiful, fashionable and aesthetically pleasing in itself, but it requires careful maintenance: you will have to constantly monitor stains, stains, chips and scratches.
Professionals recommend a balanced approach to the process of choosing a hood for the kitchen. You should not rely entirely on ratings, reviews and comments, because in each case the requirements for choosing a kitchen hood are individual, and these “indicators” of the market are constantly changing.

A few words about the operation of the induction cooker
The induction hob appeared in everyday life after the discovery of the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. Electric current occurs in a closed magnetic circuit, while the hob does not heat up until you put special dishes with ferromagnetic properties on it.
Basically, if your enameled pot or cast iron skillet is attracted to a magnet, then they are also suitable for use on an induction stove.
There are several rules for choosing dishes for cooking on an induction hob or panel: in addition to the fact that all kitchen utensils must be attracted by a magnet, the bottom of the pan must be more than 12 cm in diameter and at least 2 mm thick.

Benefits of using an induction cooker
The most basic and distinctive advantage of an induction hob is its high heating rate.
Also, the induction hob is easy to care for. – you just wipe the surface of the device with a damp cloth or sponge. The usual stainless or painted surface of a classic stove in this regard cannot be compared with the glass-ceramic, which is usually covered with induction panels.
The panel itself does not heat up.this means that spilled food or pieces of food do not burn or fry on it.
Andinduction cookers and panels are more economical. They consume less electricity than conventional electrical appliances, because the entire burner, spiral or heating element does not heat up in the induction cooker. The current is consumed only to create an electromagnetic field in the coil.
Important:
All the stories that induction cookers are dangerous to health are nothing more than fiction, because the electromagnetic vortex field that this device creates is similar to that that occurs around a mobile phone. However, at a distance of 30 cm from the device, the effect of the field is not felt.

Choosing the right induction hob
Before talking about the most reliable manufacturers of this household appliance or finding out which model is considered the best, you should find out what induction hobs are.
By design, dependent and independent panels are distinguished. The first form a single whole with the oven. The latter, on the contrary, can be bought separately from each other.
You can also choose a hob with a different number of burners – from 2 to 4 or even more. It all depends on how intensively you cook.
The shape of the burners can also be different: round, different diameters, rectangular and even oval, for those who like to cook dishes in refractory pots and cauldrons. It is good when burners of different shapes are adjacent on the same surface, and a temperature maintenance zone is also provided.
You can choose a combined hob in which two burners will be induction, and two more – gas.

The control panel is represented by three rotary switches. One of them serves to turn on the electric ignition and select the burning power, the second serves as a timer with a maximum value of 120 minutes, and the third allows you to switch the oven to the grill mode. The maximum power of the oven is 2250 watts.

The oven door is also equipped with two glasses, but this model has a removable inner door panel, which makes it much easier to clean.. And the oven is cleaned using a hydrolysis method. It involves the dissolution and softening of contaminants due to the action of water vapor inside the working chamber. This model differs from the next oven in my rating of the Krona brand.

Telescopic guides are installed in the chamber, with which you can pull out loaded baking sheets to check the readiness of dishes. And catalytic panels are installed inside the chamber. Drops of fat, when they hit them, dissolve due to exposure to high temperature, so cleaning the camera takes less time. The coating of the chamber with Easy Clean enamel also contributes to this.
This model is equipped with a tangential cooling system. It provides for the creation of an air shell around the body of the oven due to the operation of a powerful fan. Therefore, nearby furniture does not heat up during operation.
The oven has 5 operating modes: bottom heat, bottom heat with convection, bottom heat with a spit, grill, grill with a spit. For cooking, a standard, deep baking sheet, a grill grate and a spit are provided. In addition to temperature and mode selection, the user can designate the cooking time using a timer lasting from 1 minute to 24 hours.

For cooking, there are 4 operating modes: bottom heat, bottom heat with fan, grill, grill with convection. The model is equipped with a knob for setting the cooking temperature and a timer that allows you to select the time up to 120 minutes. At the end of the set period, an audible signal is emitted. Like previous models, the cabinet is equipped with electric ignition and gas control, which will turn off the gas supply if the flame goes out accidentally.
The set includes a standard and deep baking sheet, a grill grate and a baking sheet holder. But the next model GEFEST DGE 621-03 has additional elements for cooking some dishes.
GEFEST DGE 621-03
Characteristics
Dimensions (HxWxD): 59.5×59.8×56.5 cm.
Oven volume: 52 l.
Power: 1245W.
Grill: yes, electric.
Convection: no.
Electric ignition: yes.
The leader of the rating is GEFEST DGE 621-03. I gave the first place to this model because, at a low price, it has decent equipment, is made soundly, in an elegant design, has simple controls, is equipped with telescopic guides, and is of the greatest interest to users.
The main disadvantage of the model in comparison with the previous oven is the lack of convection and built-in operating modes.. But it has enough functionality. For cooking, you can set the temperature and duration of cooking, and for ease of inclusion, electric ignition is provided. This oven is equipped with a gas control, which ensures safe operation. This inexpensive model has a display for easy control, as well as tips on the settings for cooking a variety of dishes printed on the door.
Separately, I want to highlight a rather large and interesting package. In addition to a baking sheet, a wire rack and a skewer, the kit includes a glass baking dish and a barbecue grill. Thus, the functionality of the model is significantly increased, because tNow in the oven you can cook barbecue from meat, fish or vegetables, and the structure will rotate automatically.
An important advantage of the model, I would call the backlight. Unlike all other cabinets, GEFEST has a double one – a light bulb on the back wall and on the side panel. This makes the process of controlling cooking and caring for the chamber even more comfortable. If desired, it can be connected to the cylinder, for which adapters are provided in the kit.
