In the line of the Italian manufacturer there are various inclined kitchen hoods, fireplace and wall-mounted. An example of such a device is the Flipper 85 NRS Vetro Nero. The width of the structure reaches 0.85 m, and the maximum free air flow is 1280 cubic meters. m. in 60 minutes. The company gives a 36-month guarantee and confirms the class of electric current consumption A. The depth of the hood reaches 0.4 m. The product is painted in a noble black color and has a glass front panel.

The system is controlled by an electronic unit. It can be used to remove air, and to clean it with subsequent return to the room. The device is capable of switching to 4 different speeds. As for the charcoal filters, they are not included in the basic package and must be purchased separately. The emitted noise level varies from 33 to 66 dB.

To trap grease, aluminum filters are provided (they can be cleaned in the dishwasher). Noise suppression is ensured by the NRS technique, which does not reduce power and air pressure.

You can learn more about the NRS noise reduction technique by watching the following video.

An alternative is the wall-mounted cooker hood Aria NRS Glass Black 80. The numeric index at the end of the name indicates the overall width of the structure. The limiting performance of the system also reaches 1280 cc. m. in 60 minutes, as in the previous model. Current consumption category - B. The front panel is made of glass. Both text and symbolic information can be displayed on the screen.The hood is designed to operate in filtration and aspiration modes with three different speeds through a 15 cm flange.

A stainless steel grease filter is provided. It can be removed and washed. The hood is controlled through the action of the sensor equipment. Tempered glass is used in the production of the facade panel. The lighting is made of LEDs, there is a 24-hour function.

In addition to wall and chimney hoods, island modifications from the Italian manufacturer are very popular. A striking example of such a product is the Marilyn IS WH model, which is up to 0.67 m wide. The maximum capacity in free air mode is 720 cubic meters. m. The front panel is made of ceramic, painted white. The system is controlled by a sensor mechanism, and information about its operation is displayed on the screen.

The device is capable of working only in the air purification mode. When connected to a channel, it pumps no more than 450 cubic meters. m per hour, there are three speed variations. The delivery set includes charcoal filters. The volume of the generated sound varies from 56 to 65 dB. Air purification is carried out according to the E. ion system, the suction function along the perimeter is realized, as well as automatic recognition of the polluted atmosphere.

A good example of a built-in hood is the Gruppo Incasso Pro. The width of the product is 810 mm, the depth is 280 mm. The cooker hood is made of stainless steel, equipped with LED lighting and electronic control. You can use the remote, but you should buy it additionally. Both aspiration and filtration are possible. Standard flange - 0.15 m.

Before deciding which hood to put in the kitchen, you need to not only analyze whether there is enough space to install a particular model, and what consumers say about it in reviews. Be sure to find out if the system performance is sufficient. The larger the serviced room, the higher the required power. You also need to take into account that the size of the pulling device must be proportional to the main hob. In addition, it is worth deciding on the type of device. It can be domed, island, inclined or built-in.

In some cases, you can limit yourself to the diversion mode, in others it is imperative to ensure recirculation. It is worth considering which control will be more convenient for you (electronic or mechanical format). The appearance of the hood must be taken into account if the kitchen is decorated in the original style or made according to the author's concept. Failure to comply with this requirement will lead to the fact that the product will damage the perception of the room as a single complex or even create an absurd dissonance.

The operating parameters are directly dependent on the use of such auxiliary parts as carbon filters. These systems are divided into coal, coke, peat and impregnated types. By geometry, flat, round, concave products, as well as rectangular structures are distinguished.

Once a suitable hood has been selected, it will be important to install it correctly. You cannot make mistakes, because any of them can devalue all investments. The hoods of the circulation circuit are installed the easiest of all, but the flow-through and combined modifications require the creation of a discharge channel. It is made with a minimum number of bends.

You should also carefully choose the height above the hob to which the hood will rise. If it is too close to the plate, it can melt and deform under the influence of strong heating. If the canal is raised excessively, the efficiency of collecting bad odors will be insufficient.
