VENTOLUX Ibiza 60 BK 1200 black

Very powerful - no matter what you're cooking, odors don't penetrate the kitchen. I used to send my husband to smoke on the balcony, but now I allow him to do it in the kitchen when my child or I are not there - it ventilates wonderfully. But the main advantage of this range hood is its appearance! It doesn't just look good, it looks magnificent. It's a true decoration for the kitchen. All our appliances in the kitchen are black, and this model fit into the interior just splendidly.

our kitchen is designed unusually, the stove is located in the center, and a ceiling exhaust fan would have been perfect for that spot. However, since the kitchen has slanted ceilings on one side, we had to come up with something interesting. We essentially found a non-standard solution in the form of this fan. Although the angle between the wall and the exhaust fan is slightly different, together they look quite decent. The exhaust fan itself is standard, with 3-speed levels. Typically, at home, we use the lowest speed for the entire cooking time. It's very rare for us to use the maximum power as it gets incredibly loud, unless we're having a party and smoking indoors, then we turn it to maximum. By the way, if you stand properly under the exhaust fan, you won't notice any smoke in the house. The lights, of course, are quite poor, as they are located under the convex inner part, yet they do provide some light during the day. There's a very handy feature, a timer for shutting off, which not many have. It’s very convenient; once you've finished cooking, you can turn it on and leave. In about 5-10 minutes it does the job without you having to wait. There is an option to install a carbon filter for the air, but that's ridiculous... who puts carbon in an exhaust fan?)))

When my daughter first saw the hood, the only thing she could immediately say was the expressive interjection "Wow!" )))) And I understand her well because I thought the same thing when my wife first showed me this model. It doesn’t resemble the classic wall-mounted or dome design at all. The inclined glass square looks like decorations from a sci-fi movie above the stove. It's got the coolest design, thoughtful and beautiful. Despite such an innovative design, where the suction surface is not visible at all, the hood’s pull is very powerful. Its nominal capacity reaches 1200 cubic meters of air per hour, but I must mention that to achieve this, you need to consider several factors during installation. The duct through which the air will be expelled must definitely be smooth (an accordion makes noise and creates too much resistance to the flow due to turbulence), the turns of the duct should not be sharp if possible (again, reducing resistance), and the ventilation shafts in the apartment building should be clean. In this case, the hood can perform at its best, as at full speed it pulls more than 300 liters of air per second! In our kitchen, it mainly operates in the first and second speed modes. That is sufficient, and the noise remains within reasonable limits. The cool touch control is also pleasing, which, in addition to changing the speed, also turns on the lighting.
