13 best sloped hoods

Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

The inclined form factor of kitchen and fireplace hoods is a relatively new trend in the household appliance market segment. More and more consumers are looking at this solution when organizing the interior. The editors of the magazine, together with analysts from the portal https://rankquality.com/, have prepared for you an extended review of the best models of inclined hoods, available in the first half of 2020.

Features of inclined hoods

To begin with, we briefly remind the reader what are the main features of inclined hoods, and what should be considered when choosing a specific model for your house or apartment.

In addition to the most obvious – forms, inclined hoods have their own pros and cons against the background of domed ones – the most familiar form factor for the mass consumer or any other form factor where the catching area is located strictly parallel to the hob.

But still, let's start with the form, since it is here by no means for beauty, or rather, not in the first place. The idea behind the sloped hood surface is to eliminate the annoying feature of the dome form factor – limited access to the cooker. First of all, this concerns visual access – the dome hood simply does not allow you to bend over the cooking table, and this may be necessary repeatedly during the cooking process.

The advantage of an inclined shape has a reverse side – such hoods, by definition, cannot be built-in, and they are not suitable for all interior styles, for example, in neoclassicism such a hood will be inappropriate, and it is impossible to stylize it as 'retro'. But inclined hoods are just perfect for high-tech style or any minimalism without pronounced stylistic features.

Another plus of the inclined shape is the ability to place the hood lower than any domed hood, since it will never obstruct the view of the hob. Such a possibility automatically implies a reduction in the minimum power requirements for the motor and for the fan in terms of speed – the lower the hood, the more efficient the capture of vapors and the less the leakage of unwanted odors. The secondary benefit is noise reduction, but at the same time it should be understood that completely silent hoods still do not exist.

Another disadvantage of inclined hoods, which is not directly related to their form factor – they are much more expensive than traditional ones.

The best inexpensive inclined hoods

In the first selection of the review, we will traditionally consider worthy models of the most affordable price category. The brands of manufacturers in the article will go through all price segments, since most of the well-known brands have lines for a wide variety of consumer needs. As for the cost, here and below, it should be understood that on different trading floors the price of each specific model may differ, in some places quite significantly. We take into account only real and maximum available options.

LEX Luka 600 black

Rating: 4.6

And we will start with an oblique hood of the Italian trade mark LEX, the Luka 600 series. The company owns production facilities in Italy, Poland and China. It is this type of product – hoods – that is produced in the Middle Kingdom, but with total quality control from the head office.

Luka 600 is a wall-mounted inclined cooker hood. Dimensions – 103x60x28cm, branch pipe section – 120mm. Kit weight – 12kg. Body materials – metal and tempered glass. This series offers two basic colors – black and white. The 60cm width of the catch bowl coincides with the conditional build-in width and implies the same width of the working part of the hob.

In this model, one motor on a fan with a power consumption of 68W is responsible for the forced exhaust. There are two modes of operation – removal of different intensity and one circulation mode, in which air is not removed, but passed through the existing filters, after which it is supplied already cleaned back to the room. Retract mode provides three fan speeds. There is built-in lighting – two 1.5W LED lamps. Mode control, lighting switching on and off is carried out by means of mechanical buttons on the case.

The working capabilities of the hood are largely reflected in its name – the number 600 means nothing more than its productivity – up to 600 cubic meters of air per hour. This is a very good indicator for a hood of this class. Layout according to modes: 500-600m³ / h for free exit, 400-500m³ / h for ventilation and 300-400m³ / h for recirculation. Nominal noise – from 36 to 44 dB depending on the mode.

The suction principle is perimeter. Hereinafter, this term means air suction not over the entire area of ​​the bowl-screen, but through narrow longitudinal openings along its perimeter. This principle gives a significantly higher performance, other things being equal in terms of power, when compared with traditional hoods. The bottom line is that in this case, a kind of 'vacuum cleaner effect' is created, when air is taken in under much higher pressure, preventing unwanted vapors from flowing around the hood.

The delivery set of the product includes a decorative screen, a branch pipe of two U-shaped plates, a plastic flange with a built-in valve, a mounting kit, documentation and a drawing.

According to official data, the manufacturer provides a 3-year warranty for the hood and a separate 8-year warranty for the engine.

Advantages

• famous Italian brand;
• quality materials;
• 3 years warranty for the hood and 8 years for the engine;
• performance;
• reliability;
• perimeter absorption;
• stylish design.

disadvantages

• the attached drawing may be incorrect – you need to be extremely careful before making holes for fastening.

Krona Olly PB 600 black

Rating: 4.5

The second number in the selection of the best budget inclined hoods according to the version will consider a model of the Krona trademark of a similar power. Another well-known brand name is Krona Steel GmbH. Despite the German style of the name, it is a Russian specialized trade mark, one of the leaders in sales of hoods in the lower and middle price categories in the Russian Federation. Products are manufactured in China and Turkey.

Dimensions of the main part of the structure – 137x60x27.80cm, total weight – 7.8kg. Several colors are available. The most popular option is deep black with a matte surface texture. The cross-section of the air duct is 150mm.

In terms of performance, this model is weaker than the previous one, but only slightly – 500 cc. m / h. The work is provided by an engine with a power consumption of 65W. Another 2W is consumed by two LED lighting lamps. Like the previous model, the Krona Olly PB 600 operates in both recirculation and retraction modes. In the retraction mode, there are also three speeds. The maximum declared noise level is higher than that of LEX Luka 600 black and amounts to 50dB. The controls are exactly the same – mechanical buttons.

Here, too, a perimeter suction scheme is used, although in a strange way there are complaints at this very moment. Despite the total popularity of the perimeter scheme, there is still a significant proportion of consumers who do not trust such a solution and prefer the good old classics proven over decades. However, our experts did not write this moment into the model's shortcomings for obvious reasons.

A grease filter is installed here by default, the main task of which is to protect the engine, fan and air outlet surfaces from small particles of grease that can stick and accumulate, creating problems in a short time. The charcoal filter, which copes with odors, in this and previous models can be included only as an option, so its availability should be checked when ordering.

The entire product comes with a 2-year warranty, and a separate 7-year warranty for the engine.

Advantages

• quality materials;
• reliable and trouble-free operation;
• attractive appearance;
• easy installation;
• perimeter absorption;
• 2 years warranty and 7 years separately for the engine.

disadvantages

• there are complaints about increased noise.

MAUNFELD Tower C 50

Rating: 4.4

The third point is to draw your attention to the Tower C 50 series of inclined hoods of the MAUNFELD trademark. The trade mark is also completely Russian, like the one described above. It belongs to the trading house of the same name, which is the holders of other well-known names on the domestic market – HOMSair, HOMS, Matteo.

The design principle of installation of this hood is similar to the previous ones – wall installation. Dimensions of the main part – 97x50x31cm. We emphasize that this model is focused on narrower hobs – 50cm. The manufacturer offers a wide range of colors – deep black, white, beige, dark beige, metallic, ivory, optionally and other options, depending on the batch. The cut of the air duct is 120mm in diameter.

The total power consumption of the hood is 96W, of which 6W are consumed in total by two LED lamps. The estimated productivity in this case is slightly increased and amounts to 650 cubic meters of air per hour. The operating modes are exactly the same as those of the two models described above: air extraction at three speeds to choose from; recirculation. The control is push-button, but the buttons are already electronic.

As you can see, in terms of power consumption, the hood is noticeably more 'voracious', and at the same time slightly more productive, even despite the smaller useful width. This optimal combination is achieved not least thanks to the same perimeter suction.

The standard filter in this model is only grease. There is no information about coal, even as an option. As for the noise level, here it is declared at the maximum level of 51 dB. This is quite a lot, but we are still talking about the maximum speed in intensive mode. There is feedback data on the occurrence of the resonance effect at maximum speed.

The manufacturer estimates the service life of this model at 10 years. The warranty period is set at three years.

Advantages

• compact (to whom it is important);
• perimeter absorption;
• many shades in the line;
• laconic but sophisticated and stylish appearance;
• high performance;
• reliability and reliability;
• three years warranty.

disadvantages

• noise and resonance at maximum speed.

Weissgauff Gamma 60 PB

Rating: 4.3

The selection of the best inexpensive inclined hoods according to the magazine will be completed by the most productive model of the Weissgauff trademark in this group. It is also a 'partisan' brand that has nothing to do with Germany. But in this case, there is nothing wrong with that, since total globalization has greatly undermined the stereotypes, and the country of registration of the brand already says practically nothing to anyone. Weissgauff's quality control is very decent, and that's the main thing.

Weissgauff Gamma 60 PB is also an inclined cooker hood with a wall installation with dimensions 89.50×59.60x33cm and a weight of 6.5kg. The recommended width of the hob is no more than 60cm. Branch pipe section – 150mm. The main body materials are typical for this form factor – metal and glass in a minimalist hi-tech style. The assortment has several shade options.

As for the mentioned high performance, it really commands respect here – up to 900 cubic meters. meters of air per hour. At the same time, the power consumption of the engine is quite moderate – 85W. Total power consumption – 155W. This big difference is due to the type of lighting used. These are halogens with 35W power consumption each. This is a rather strange decision due to the high power consumption and heating of such lamps. If the goals of the most efficient lighting were pursued, then the gain for LEDs here is minimal, if at all.

The layout of the operating modes here is exactly the same as in the described models – three high-speed exhaust modes and one recirculation mode. Mechanical buttons control. A standard grease filter is installed.

The delivery set, in addition to the main set of parts, includes documentation with an assembly and installation drawing. Here you need to be extremely careful, since, depending on the batch, there may be errors in the installation instructions.

Advantages

• nice minimalistic design;
• ease of installation;
• relatively low noise level;
• reliability and reliability;
• the most productive in the collection.

disadvantages

• errors and inconsistencies in the drawings are possible;
• halogen backlight lamp.

The best inclined hoods in the middle price category

The second selection of our review presents you with a more extensive selection of options for inclined hoods of the conditional mid-price category. Here we also recall that the price volatility for this particular type of product on the Russian market is very significant, and if a subjectively too high price for one or another model is suddenly revealed, then another trading platform may well turn out to be more loyal to the consumer due to a lower markup or discounts.

ELIKOR Ruby S4 50

Rating: 4.9

The section is opened with an inclined cooker hood with one of the most affordable prices in this class – Rubin S4 of the ELIKOR trademark. The brand is Russian, under it there are products of a Russian technology holding headquartered in Kaluga, which includes dozens of enterprises.

Ruby S4 is a whole series of hoods included in the Modern collection. The line offers many options for color and texture solutions for external finishes, and even with variations in screen materials from tempered glass to ceramics. There are also three widths – 50, 60 and 90cm. For example, we took the most compact modification with dimensions of 118x50x43cm. Even this compact model is quite weighty – 13kg, which some users note as a disadvantage. The widest version 90cm weighs as much as 17.5kg.

The nozzle diameter here is 150mm. The total power consumption here significantly exceeds any of the above-described budget models – 225W, but there is a noticeable share of backlighting – two halogen lamps with a consumption of 20W each.

In ELIKOR Ruby S4 50 we see an expanded selection of modes – an intensive mode has been added to the three standard fan speeds, designed to urgently cope with strong vapors and smoke due to burning. Maximum productivity – 700 cubic meters. meters per hour. The declared noise level does not exceed 52dBA. As in all the above options, a perimeter air intake scheme is used here, which increases productivity by an average of 20% compared to the classic scheme, all other things being equal in power, rotation speed and surface area of ​​the bowl.

A grease filter is used here to clean the air, and a charcoal filter is not provided to neutralize odors. However, judging by the results of independent tests and the reviews of real users, the hood copes with the exhaust quite effectively, and there is no urgent need for a carbon filter.

Advantages

• quality of materials;
• performance;
• perimeter absorption;
• timer;
• stylish appearance;
• many colors, including texture.

disadvantages

• relatively heavy weight;
• halogen backlight lamps.

Krona FREYA 600 PB

Rating: 4.7

Now let's turn back to the products of the Krona brand and consider the FREYA 600 PB inclined hood model. In terms of price, it balances between the conditional budget and middle class, like the previous version from ELIKOR.

Dimensions of the main part of the hood – 59x70x29cm, weight – 8.2kg. The recommended width of the hob is 60cm. The diameter of the nozzle is 12 cm. The company's assortment has quite a few color options, and they often differ significantly in price on different trading floors. The most popular colors are anthracite black and white. The stylistic design is almost the same minimalistic, but with a different texture of the surface of the glass screen and sides.

In terms of productivity, the hood is far from breaking records – up to 550 cubic meters. meters per hour. But on the other hand, its power consumption is moderate – 110W, taking into account the 28W halogen backlight lamp. And the declared noise is also noticeably lower – 48 dB. This difference may seem insignificant, but the system of calculus (decibels) itself assumes an increase in the estimated difference between neighboring units as the compared values ​​increase, therefore 48 dB is subjectively felt much quieter than the same 52 dB. Control of three modes of speed and backlight – mechanical buttons on the body.

Krona FREYA 600 PB assumes the possibility of installing carbon filters, but they are not included in the delivery. Some users note the inconvenience when installing such filters.

The increased class of the device is indicated by the manufacturer's confidence in the durability of the product. So, the official production guarantee for this model is 2 years, and separately for the engine – as much as 7 years.

Advantages

• quality materials;
• increased reliability and reliability;
• perimeter absorption;
• 7 years warranty for the motor and 2 years for the entire unit;
• relatively quiet operation;
• spectacular appearance.

disadvantages

• inconvenient installation of carbon filters.

Weissgauff TAU 60 TC WH

Rating: 4.7

Let's continue the review with a sample of the brand's products, which we completed the previous selection. This is a Weissgauff TAU 60 TC WH model. The WH index in the name indicates the color scheme of the finish – white, and in the assortment of the group of companies there are other options to choose from.

Hood dimensions – 109.20×59.50×38.50cm. The recommended width of the hob is 60cm. Branch pipe cut-off size – 150mm. The hood is made of quality materials with the same decent build quality. The body is metal, the panel and edging are tempered glass.

The Weissgauff hood described in the previous selection has already impressed with its performance. This model surpasses it – as much as 1000 cubic meters. meters of air outlet per hour. And against the background of record energy efficiency, this difference becomes especially significant – the device consumes only 65W. The share of a backlight lamp in energy consumption is negligible, since only one lamp is used, and that is LED.

This model assumes three high-speed modes of operation. Modes are switched by touch buttons on the control panel. For the most part, the touch controls suit users, and this is a big plus in terms of care – less pollution. In addition to the basic functionality, the Weissgauff TAU 60 TC WH is equipped with a compact display for displaying modes and states. Users especially appreciate the presence of a timer. The maximum declared operation noise is 49dB.

This model, like all the previous ones, has an aluminum grease filter. The possibility of additional installation of active carbon filters is also provided, but the filters themselves are not included in the delivery set.

There is, however, one drawback in this model, which arose as a result of an engineering miscalculation, since it does not concern the direct purpose of the hood. We are talking about a backlight that 'looks' mostly at the wall, and not at the hob.

Advantages

• quality of materials and workmanship;
• perimeter absorption;
• ultra-high performance;
• energy efficiency;
• display;
• timer;
• touch control;
• the ability to install an active filter;
• stylish design.

disadvantages

• bad direction of illumination.

LEX Plaza 600 White

Rating: 4.6

Again, the Italian trade mark LEX appears in the recommendations of experts, with which we began our review. The Plaza 600 White hood is produced in China, but in this case this does not mean anything dubious – quality control by the manufacturer is at the highest level.

This model successfully 'dilutes' the minimalistic uniformity of most of the tilt range hoods on the market with its design, the key feature of which is the curved shape of the screen. The dimensions of the hood, depending on the modification, are 115x60x36.7, the weight is quite significant – 12.7 kg, mainly due to the heavy tempered glass of the screen and its large area. Branch pipe diameter – 150mm.

The device consumes 69W of mains power, including two 1.5W LED lamps. The backlight is positioned in the back, which creates the same unfortunate effect when more light reaches the wall, and not the hob. The intensity of the fan, combined with the perimeter suction, creates a pressure of about 420Pa, which provides an exhaust capacity of up to 500 cc. meters per hour in the diversion mode and up to 300 cubic meters. meters per hour in recirculation mode. There are three speed modes that are switched by touch buttons. The modes are shown on the digital display. According to the manufacturer's estimates, this model is focused on a kitchen area of ​​up to 12 sq. meters.

LEX Plaza 600 White is good for almost everyone except for the noise. The declared maximum noise level of 50dB, although formally not too much higher than most of the middle price range hoods, the nature of the noise even at the minimum speed can cause discomfort. However, it must be admitted that the service department of the manufacturing company is extremely attentive to user feedback and tries to give sound recommendations for reducing noise to all relevant comments on popular online sites.

The manufacturing guarantee for this model is 3 years and 18 days.

Advantages

• elegant design with curved glass screen;
• quality of materials and workmanship;
• reliability and reliability;
• touch control;
• digital display;
• attention of the manufacturer to user feedback.

disadvantages

• uncomfortable noise.

Elica BELT LUX BL / A / 55

Rating: 4.5

The next mid-price range hood of the famous Italian brand Elica, the BELT LUX BL / A / 55 model, continues the good tradition of at least some originality in terms of design. The quality and capabilities are also not lagging behind, for which it receives high marks from experts and ordinary users.

The dimensions of the device are 139.4×54.8×32.6cm, the weight is impressive – 17.4kg net and 19kg with packaging. This is the first and so far the only model in our review where the designers decided not to resort to perimeter suction. this has left its mark on the appearance of the hood. It differs from most of the sloped models on the market, but the design is nevertheless nice and at the same time not trivial.

Branch pipe diameter – 150mm. The recommended width of the working part of the cooking table is 55cm. Lighting is provided by two 20W halogen lamps. The total power consumption of the device is 315W.

The indicated power consumption stands out quite noticeably against the general background of the models presented in the review, but this is only the maximum power consumption when the intensive mode is turned on. The presence of such a mode is a big plus, since it provides air removal capacity up to 1200 cubic meters. meters per hour. Of course, the noise level in this case will be significant, and the manufacturer does not try to hide this fact, it is up to 67 dB. The other three fan speeds are already more gentle.

Electronic control of modes – through the touch panel buttons. The modes are shown on the compact display. There is also a timer.

Another clear plus of Elica BELT LUX BL / A / 55 is the equipment, which brings the hood closer to the high class at a still relatively affordable price. Thus, the delivery set of the product includes not only an aluminum cassette grease filter, but also a carbon filter Carbon filter FCB0060650, which is designed to reliably cope with unwanted odors even in recirculation mode.

The official manufacturing guarantee for this model is 24 months. Products of this type are produced directly in Italy.

Advantages

• original (relatively) design;
• prominent Italian brand;
• Italian assembly;
• quality of materials and workmanship;
• exceptional performance;
• charcoal filter included;
• record performance.

disadvantages

• no obvious shortcomings were recorded.

Faber Cocktail BK F80

Rating: 4.5

The second part of the review is completed by another sample of high-quality Italian household appliances – the hood of the Cocktail F80 series of the Faber brand, which has been famous for its products of exceptional quality for 75 years.

The presented model receives a kind of user sympathy prize for an unusually refined design and sophisticated technical performance. The 'airiness' of the design evokes involuntary associations with the most striking examples of electronics Apple.

The dimensions of the main part of the hood are 50x80x40cm. This model is already designed for a wide hob – up to 80cm. Body materials – stainless steel, screen – tempered glass. Branch pipe diameter – 120mm. The design, as already mentioned, is incredibly attractive and even to some extent mesmerizing, although as such there are no design elements in it at all, but only perfectly flat plain surfaces and rounded corners. However, the developers managed to find incredibly successful proportions that turned out to be extremely comfortable for the eyes.

The hood consumes 140W of electricity, of which 3W is consumed by two LED lamps. There are three traditional speed modes, plus a high intensity mode. Maximum productivity in standard modes – up to 535 cubic meters. meters per hour, in reinforced – over 700 cubic meters. m per hour. The device is equipped with a timer for delayed shutdown, when the stove is already turned off, but the fumes from the left dishes continue to come out for some time. The hood control panel is touch-sensitive, located in a convenient place.

The high class of the product is evident in the careful attention of the developers to the details. For example, the built-in grease filter is equipped with a contamination indicator. And the delivery set of this model includes a high-quality active carbon filter 112.0158.127 or 112.0185.278. What else is nice and often useful is the backlight brightness adjustment.

Advantages

• prominent Italian brand;
• exceptional quality materials and workmanship;
• reliability and durability;
• intensive mode;
• perimeter absorption;
• backlight adjustment;
• equipment;
• high performance;
• exquisite, sophisticated design.

disadvantages

• not found.

The best premium inclined hoods

According to the magazine, the third and final part of the review of the best inclined range hoods in the first half of 20202 represents the most expensive, but at the same time, the most interesting segment of the market. The presented premium-class 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 is barely kept in the premium category by key parameters. There have been quite a few unpleasant questions about the legendary German brand in recent years due to the rather weak quality control in some types of products, especially those that are made 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 cooker hood is even designed for a 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 hob is 90cm, respectively. The design has the same minimalism as most other inclined range hoods on the market. The color scheme of this particular model is a black tempered glass screen and a black body. Branch pipe cut – 150mm.

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

With all the advantages of the Bosch DWK 97JM60, this model meets not too sharp, but still the dissatisfaction of users with extremely limited functionality. Considering the cost, it is rather 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 completely minimal and there is not even a carbon filter, although the possibility of its installation is provided for by the design. Therefore, the general conclusion on this model from specialists is strictly positive, but the described controversial points are still credited to obvious shortcomings.

Advantages

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

disadvantages

• too minimal functionality for such a price;
• no charcoal filter included.

Siemens LC 91 KWW 60

Rating: 4.8

The theme of premium hoods is continued by the model of another German brand, no less famous and renowned than Bosch. The Siemens LC 91 KWW 60 model is also designed for a wide hob, costs half the price of the above model, but already boasts not only the highest quality, but also extended functionality.

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

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

As already mentioned, this model has much more interesting functionality. Firstly, it is, of course, a timer, which allows you to set the operating time of the hood after the end of cooking. Second, the emotionLight function is implemented here – changing the color of the highlight within nine options. Intensive mode is supplemented by an automatic switch-off function. The function is based on the air quality sensor.

What can be put as a minus of this undoubtedly outstanding model is the lack of the possibility of additional equipment with a carbon filter. Although, in fairness, let's say that the efficiency and productivity of the Siemens LC 91 KWW 60 is enough to avoid asking the question of the carbon filter.

Advantages

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

disadvantages

• no charcoal filter can be installed.

Falmec QUASAR 90 Black Glass

Rating: 4.8

The third issue is the hood of the elite brand of Italian household appliances Falmec. Let's take a look at the most popular Black Glass model in a black color scheme, designed for a 90 cm wide hob. Actually, QUASAR is a whole series of Falmec hoods, and even if the current model is suddenly taken out of production (which is constantly happening to please new samples), it will not be difficult to find an almost identical replacement for it in the widest range of Falmec.

The hood shines with perfect surfaces of black tempered glass screen and the same black stainless steel case cover. The lighting is provided by two LED lamps at the rear of the 1.2W unit. The total weight of the structure is 26kg.

The perimeter suction principle, which is already familiar to many consumers, is used here. A powerful, and at the same time quite quiet engine can operate in four modes – three main and one special, of increased intensity. The maximum productivity reaches the outrageous 1280m³ / h with free outlet and up to 800m³ / h with recirculation. The engine, if desired, can be brought into the wall.

It is also worth praising the manufacturer for not skimping on equipment. So, the set includes a main fat filter 289x326mm and an active carbon of the sixth type. Mode control – touch. The filters are equipped with a clogging indicator system that will tell you the optimal replacement time. A timer for delayed switching on or off complements the functionality of the hood.

There is another interesting feature in this model – '24 hours'. Its essence is already contained in the name. When this mode is activated, the hood operates at minimum speed for an hour, without creating noise, but gradually renewing the air in the room. Then it turns off for three hours, after which the cycle repeats.
