Rating of the TOP 20 best kitchen hoods of 2021

The best premium inclined hoods

The third and final part of the review of the best inclined hoods in the first half of 20202, according to Expertology magazine, represents the most expensive, but at the same time the most interesting segment of the market. The presented premium hoods are for the most part significantly and even an order of magnitude higher in price than any model described above, but they have their own stable target audience.

Bosch DWK 97JM60

Rating: 4.9

Let's start with the most affordable model, which, in terms of key parameters, barely remains in the premium category. The legendary German brand has faced quite a few unpleasant questions in recent years due to rather weak quality control in some types of products, especially those produced in China. But in this case, we are still dealing with the exemplary German quality that the Bosch corporation has demonstrated for many decades.

This hood is designed for an even wider hob than the Faber Cocktail BK F80 described above. The dimensions of the main unit are 119.80x90x50cm and the recommended width of the cooking table is 90cm, respectively. The design has the same minimalism as most other inclined hoods on the market. The color scheme for this particular model is black tempered glass screen and black body. The pipe cut is 150mm.

The hood is equipped with a fan motor with a power consumption of 140W. Another 3W comes from a pair of LED lamps. The hood, within the normal operating modes and taking into account the increased intensity mode, is capable of developing a capacity of up to 730 cubic meters. m per hour. Modes are switched using touch buttons on the front panel. The maximum declared noise level is 57 dB, which is quite acceptable for intensive use. In lower modes the hood is much quieter.

Despite all the advantages of the Bosch DWK 97JM60, this model is met with not too severe, but still dissatisfaction from users with its extremely limited functionality. Considering the cost, it is very strange that the manufacturers did not equip the device with a timer or at least a display. Such incomprehensible savings are noticeable even in the configuration - it is absolutely minimal and there is not even a carbon filter, although the possibility of installing it is provided for by the design. Therefore, the general conclusion on this model from Expertology specialists is strictly positive, but the described controversial issues are still considered obvious shortcomings.

Advantages

• brand;
• high quality of materials and workmanship;
• high performance;
• touch control;
• perimeter suction;
• high intensity mode;
• nice minimalistic design.

Flaws

• too minimal functionality for such a price;
• No carbon filter included.

Siemens LC 91 KWW 60

Rating: 4.8

Continuing the theme of premium hoods is a model from another German brand, no less famous and famous than Bosch. The Siemens LC 91 KWW 60 model is also designed for a wide hob, costs half as much as the model described above, but already boasts not only the highest quality, but also expanded functionality.

The dimensions of the catching block are 126x90x50cm, designed for a 90cm wide working surface of the cooking table. The pipe section is 120mm. Nothing fundamental can be said about the design - it is as minimalistic as the lion’s share of this segment of the large household appliances market. The materials are also “standard” - stainless steel, tempered glass. The most popular color scheme is a black body, black screen.

The power consumption of the high efficiency iQdrive motor in this model is as much as 260W. Total energy consumption – 270W. Illumination is provided by a dimmable LED lamp. There are three standard operating modes for fan rotation, plus an enhanced mode. Maximum hood capacity – 991 cubic meters. m per hour. Noise, depending on the mode, varies from 41 to 69 dB. Mode control is electronic, touchControl.

As already mentioned, this model has noticeably more interesting functionality. Firstly, this is, of course, a timer that allows you to set the operating time of the hood after cooking is completed. Secondly, the emotionLight function has been introduced here - changing the backlight color within nine options. The intensive mode is complemented by an automatic shut-off function. The function is based on the readings of the air quality sensor.

What can be considered a disadvantage of this undoubtedly outstanding model is the lack of the possibility of additional equipment with a carbon filter. Although, to be fair, let’s say that the operating efficiency and performance of the Siemens LC 91 KWW 60 is enough for us not to worry too much about the carbon filter.

Advantages

• brand;
• impeccable quality of materials and workmanship;
• highly efficient iQdrive motor;
• performance;
• advanced functionality;
• timer and display;
• automatic shutdown of intensive mode;
• air quality sensor.

Flaws

• Installation of a carbon filter is not provided.

Which kitchen hood is better to choose?

• Hood type. They are divided into built-in, wall/wall-mounted, island and others. The choice depends on the preferences of the consumer, his taste and the design in which the kitchen is designed.
• Operating mode. There are two of them - air exhaust and recirculation. When choosing a hood, it is better to give preference to models operating in air exhaust mode. They are more powerful and effectively cope with the task. The air exhaust mode works according to the following principle: the system captures vapors and grease droplets and discharges them through the ventilation duct to the street. In recirculation mode, the air is purified using filters and “returned” to the room.
• Filter type. Modern models of hoods are equipped with heat-absorbing and carbon filters. The most common are heat-absorbing ones. Coal can be purchased separately; it is used for air recirculation. It is important to know that carbon filters quickly become clogged and become unusable.
• Control type. Modern household hoods can be equipped with mechanical or electronic controls. The first option has a more reasonable cost, but there are difficulties in cleaning due to gaps and protrusions. Electronic models are usually equipped with a liquid crystal or digital display. It displays all relevant information about the operation of the device. Such models are more expensive due to their “filling”.
