The best hoods for a large kitchen

The kitchen hood Grunhelm GVN 650 MB belongs to the highly productive budget class models. The engine output of 950 m³/h is sufficient for a large kitchen of about 25 m², even with intensive cooking on several burners. The design provides slot suction and installation of a carbon filter for operation in recirculation mode in enclosed spaces. It is important to note that the width of the hood is 56 cm, so it is not suitable for hobs of 60 cm or more.

Traditional wall mounting does not spoil the interior, and a stylish inclined design in black will add modernity to the kitchen without sacrificing free space. The basic aluminum filter is easy to clean, does not deform and does not lose its properties at elevated temperatures. LED lighting is also built into the housing, which will improve visibility in the cooking area.

The Polish-made Akpo WK-11 Smart wall hood impresses with its high performance (up to 1080 m³) and convenient control. But let's talk about everything in order.

The model has an inclined design and provides effective slot suction. The width of 59.5 cm makes it compatible with the vast majority of kitchen equipment (with the exception of atypically sized hobs). The hood can operate in exhaust and recirculation modes. The latter option involves the use of an additional carbon filter, which also helps eliminate odors.

The key protective element in the design of the hood is the aluminum filter. It traps particles of dirt and grease, ensuring reliable engine operation. The filter is not subject to corrosion and, if necessary, can be easily removed for cleaning in the dishwasher.

Akpo WK-11 Smart was equipped with a touch panel with the ability to set three operating speeds and bright LED lighting. In addition, the model is equipped with a remote control and boasts a programmable sleep timer function. Finally, to prevent the penetration of odors from the ventilation duct, an anti-return valve was introduced into the hood design.

The Perfelli GRASSI 6PWX kitchen hood offers a productive and stylish solution for extracting and recirculating air during cooking. The equipment is suitable not only for a large kitchen, but also for a spacious studio apartment thanks to a powerful engine with a capacity of 1200 m³/h. The built-in grease filter can be supplemented with an active one for comfortable operation in unventilated conditions. It is worth noting that high productivity has a negative impact on the noise level (72 dB) at maximum engine speed.

The Perfelli GRASSI 6PWX hood will definitely appeal to lovers of comfort and technical progress. The touch panel is complemented by gesture control, allowing you to turn on the device and change modes without touching. There are two LED lights that can also be activated with a wave of your hand. After finishing cooking, you can use a timer that will eliminate any remaining contaminated air and automatically turn off the hood after 5 minutes.

The temperamental Italian hood Elica LIXA BL/A/60 will fit into large kitchens that are equipped with hobs in the classic black color.

Compared to similar wall hoods of the same type with an inclined design, the model stands out due to the rounded shape of the front panel of the body. It would seem like a small thing, but the device looks completely different. Two LED lighting system bulbs were additionally built into the lower end of the hood - they can even be used instead of the main lighting when watching TV in the kitchen.

Elica LIXA BL/A/60 is equipped with a motor with a stated performance of up to 900 m³/h. Its strength is quite enough to rid the kitchen of burning, soot, steam, combustion products and unpleasant odors. Perimeterally drawn air is removed from the kitchen space through the ventilation duct in exhaust mode or returned to the room in recirculation mode. In order for the hood to purify the air and supply it back, the device will need to be equipped with a carbon filter.

The model has acquired support for newfangled touch controls, and the buttons on the panel are illuminated in a pleasant and dim blue color. In total, the user has at his disposal three speed modes of operation of the hood, which is more than enough for the vast majority of situations. The picture of the model is completed by a washable aluminum filter, made removable for ease of maintenance.

The main source of profit for the Ukrainian brand ELEYUS is formed by a variety of hoods. For kitchens with a large area, the company’s portfolio has an interesting offer in the form of the Agat 1200 LED 60 BL model.

The “agate” hood is equipped with a productive turbine with a capacity of 1200 m³/h and easily copes with maintaining freshness in kitchens of up to approximately 25 m². The model features slotted air intake with admixtures of smoke, steam and odors. To absorb grease, dirt and small foreign particles, the hood is equipped with a 5-layer aluminum filter, which is easy to clean in warm water or in the dishwasher.

If there are internal ventilation ducts, the hood operates in exhaust mode. And if there are none, you can complete the device with carbon filters, bring the air duct into the kitchen space and set up the hood in recirculation mode. The model is suitable for carbon filters FW-E15100 from ELEYUS.

ELEYUS Agat 1200 LED 60 BL has an inclined design with a solid facade made of black tempered glass. In the upper segment of the panel there are touch controls - buttons for selecting speed (from 1 to 3), turning on/off LED lighting, setting the auto-off timer. Also on the market is a modification of the hood in an all- white outfit, which will fit into the light kitchen interiors.
