Choosing the right cooker hood for your home

Extraction Power
Consider the extraction rate, measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/hr), to ensure efficient removal of cooking odours, grease, and smoke. All the more important if you have an open kitchen, a powerful extraction is required. Cooker hoods with air extraction rates over 600m³/hr are in the more powerful range.

Size and Design
Choose a cooker hood that complements your kitchen size and style, ensuring it fits seamlessly into your overall design scheme. Most HDB home kitchens are small in size, so a slimmer model might be more suitable.

Mounting options
Whether wall-mounted for a sleek and space-efficient solution, elegantly suspended from the ceiling for a touch of modern sophistication, or concealed in a downdraft design for seamless integration, cooking hoods offer versatile mounting options to complement diverse kitchen layouts and styles.

Venting Options
Decide between ducted or recirculating hoods based on your kitchen’s infrastructure; ducted hoods expel air outside, while recirculating hoods filter and recirculate the air back into the room. HDB homes cannot have ducted vents and will have to be limited to recirculated air models.

Noise Level
Look for a cooker hood with a low noise level to maintain a quiet kitchen environment, especially important if your kitchen is part of an open living space. 60 dB and lower would be considered relatively quiet.

Brand Reputation
Research and select a cooker hood from a reputable brand known for quality and durability, ensuring a reliable and long-lasting appliance. Even with the same specifications, some brands just outdo others.
