TOP 5 ultra-quiet built-in range hoods

The built-in Fabiano Slim 60 Lux hood adapts to any cooking conditions on stoves and hobs up to 60 cm wide. High suction efficiency is provided by a dual motor with a total capacity of 650 m³/h. The model is designed for both air exhaust and recirculation, so it can be installed in kitchen furniture regardless of the presence of an air duct. It is worth noting the very low noise level - from 35 dB at minimum to 52 dB at maximum. The use of the hood will be comfortable for all family members at any time of the day.

The manufacturer offers a wide range of colors for different kitchen designs. Powder paint resists high humidity well, is easy to clean and will retain an aesthetic appearance for a long time. As with most hoods with a telescopic pull-out panel, the mechanical buttons are located behind it, which makes it difficult to operate. The filter is made of aluminum in several layers and effectively traps fat particles. It is quickly removed and can be processed in a dishwasher. The disadvantage is the lighting, which is incandescent lamps.

The fully built-in hood from the GRANADO brand, released in 2023, is a laconic solution in three color options - black, white and silver (stainless steel). The heart of the device is a 150-watt motor with a capacity of 700 m³/h. It is stated that its capabilities should be sufficient for kitchens up to 25 square meters.

The GRANADO Palamos 2613-700's special feature is the perimeter suction system. It increases overall efficiency and adds to the model's appeal. The maximum noise level is also quite low - up to 52 dB.

The hood is equipped with a 5-layer aluminum filter that retains fat. And for operation in the recovery mode, it is possible to install a carbon "catcher" of odors. The overall efficiency of operation (energy efficiency class A) is supported by LED backlighting in the form of a strip.

The model has a push-button control panel, plus a small display for clarity. Also included in the kit is a remote control, and in addition to choosing one of 3 operating speeds, it also supports a shutdown timer.

GRANADO Palamos 2613-700 is a balanced price and quality hood from a Ukrainian manufacturer. By the way, it provides a 2-year warranty on the device.

The Gunter&Hauer Atala 1060 BI kitchen hood provides a very quiet operation mode (up to 50 dB) thanks to a reliable brushless motor and fully integrated design. The motor has a high performance (1000 m³/h) and copes well with cooking on all burners at once. There are three speeds and two operating modes - exhaust and recirculation. The hood adapts to any conditions and room.

The Gunter&Hauer Atala 1060 BI model has a good set of components and is easy to use. The recessed push-button switches are very soft, do not require much effort to press and are complemented by a visual blue indicator when activated. Two LED lamps have a high illumination factor and will help in the cooking process. The aluminum grease filter is optimal in terms of maintenance and durability. It is not subject to corrosion and is easy to clean.

The representative of the standard-class series iQ300 brand Siemens is a built-in hood, which should provide a quiet and calm cooking process in the kitchen. Thus, the noise level will vary from 43 dB (at minimum speed) to 56 dB (at the 4th - intensive mode). Such indicators can be expected when working on the exhaust, but when recirculating the device may still be noisier.

Siemens LB 55565 is equipped with an aluminum grease filter. It combines durability and easy maintenance - it can be cleaned in the dishwasher. It also has energy-saving LED lighting and intuitive slider control.

The device has two motors with a total power of 200 W. They provide a performance of 618 m³/h. Directly when removing polluted air, the efficiency should reach 363 m³/h, and this will be enough for both small and medium-sized kitchens.

An extended 4-year warranty is an additional confirmation of its good durability. Accordingly, the Siemens LB 55565 is definitely worth a closer look for those who are interested in an efficient, reliable and clearly quiet hood.

The hood from the Whirlpool brand can be classified as a mid-price category device. Since it is designed for installation in a kitchen unit, it should fit into literally any interior without any problems.

Whirlpool WCT 64 FLY X, like most analogues, is capable of both removing polluted air from the room and purifying it (recirculation mode). The model is ready for the second option, as they say, "out of the box", because it is equipped with two carbon filters that capture unpleasant odors.

The hood motor provides a peak air extraction performance of 224 m³/h. This is far from a record figure, but it should be enough for small and medium kitchens. Even at maximum speed, the motor does not create any pronounced acoustic discomfort. At the first speed, the noise is almost comparable to a normal conversation (up to 45 dB), and at the maximum (third) speed, it will not exceed a moderate 54 dB.

The model is notable for having a pair of LED lamps with a total power of 6 W. They will please you with their economy and good working life. Also worth mentioning is the practical aluminum filter, which can be washed in a dishwasher. The controls differ from the main competitors. They are represented by a button (on/off light) and a recessed rotary switch with fixed positions (off and 3 speeds).

Whirlpool WCT 64 FLY X is a simple, but practical and well-equipped hood.
