range hood is an indispensable home appliance in the kitchen. Whether it is properly purchased will directly affect the mood of cooking, and naturally it will also affect the happiness of home life.
However, the range hood on the market, whether it is brand, type or model, is difficult to choose. So in this issue of home furnishing topic, Meijia Guide, I will share with you the guide to purchasing range hoods .
After truly experiencing most range hoods on the market, you will know that the core parameters and performance of both top range hoods and side range hoods are not much different, but the usage scenarios of the two are different. So don’t worry too much about whether it is better to suck the top or to suck the side. It is the wisest decision to suit your kitchen environment and usage habits.
But whether it is top or side sucking, as a home appliance reviewer for many years, you will definitely choose the following 4 types. It is not misleading, but the summary and lessons of countless people. It is recommended to take a look:
[1] Do not choose a too small air pressure (suggested ≥400Pa)
Like other home appliances, range hoods also have relevant national standards. For example, in the parameter "wind pressure". However, the standard for range hoods in my country remained in 2011, so the standard at that time stipulated that the air pressure could not be lower than 100Pa. In fact, from the current market perspective, almost no range hood is below this standard.
But wind pressure is really related to the question of "whether oil smoke flows back", so pursuing high static pressure is also the goal of major manufacturers. Theoretically, a range hood with a static pressure of more than 400Pa can be called a high wind pressure, which can basically meet the needs of oil fume ( high-rise residential can also meet the needs of ). Therefore, when purchasing, you need to pay attention to the value of "static pressure".
【2】Don’t choose a suction that is too small (instant suction ≥22m³/min)
Even if you are not working in the range hood market, many people probably have heard similar advertising vocabulary: large suction. In fact, from the perspective of a cook, if the suction power of the range hood is too small, it means that the entire kitchen will be filled with the smell of oil smoke, and it will even smell to the living room and bedroom.
Therefore, being able to quickly remove the range fume in a "short time" is the key to evaluating whether the range hood is practical. This parameter can be evaluated by "suspense".
The suction power of range hoods on the market is generally ≥17m³/min. However, in addition to the first gear of suction, we should also pay attention to the "instant suction" suction power, that is, the suction power of the strong gear (when stir-frying). And at this time, the greater the suction force, the higher the efficiency of sucking oil smoke. It is recommended that the instant suction force should not be less than 22m³/min when purchasing.
【Three】Don’t choose high noise values (suggested ≤60dB)
Whether the noise of the range hood is within a reasonable range will directly affect the comfort of cooking and the mood of the cooker. From this perspective, of course, the lower the noise value, the better.
. It is precisely because the "noise" of the range hood has a great impact on the kitchen experience that the country also has relevant standards. Theoretically, the noise value of the range hood should be controlled at 65dB-68dB. In other words, range hoods that exceed this noise value are strictly unqualified.
Therefore, it is recommended that when purchasing a range hood, you must clearly see the noise value in the parameters. If the noise value is > 60dB, don't invest it. In fact, the better the noise control of the range hood, the higher the quality of the range hood. After all, whether the movement is variable frequency or fixed frequency, which material is the internal component, whether the whole machine is inlaid, which type of panel material is, etc., are all related to noise.
Some high-end range hood brands on the market today can even control the noise value within 55dB, and these range hoods with low noise value are the most worth investing.
[IV] Do not choose miscellaneous or small brands (it is recommended to choose the first echelon)
Although the technical content of the range hood itself is not high, it must be admitted that the miscellaneous and small brand hoods on the market are not worth investing.Because in addition to the advantages of low price, these range hoods are almost impossible to find any other advantages, such as too much noise, short motor life, no self-cleaning ability, and low oil fume absorption efficiency, etc., which will directly affect the kitchen experience.
Therefore, when purchasing, it is recommended to choose the first echelon, such as boss, Fangtai , and Midea. Secondly, consider the second echelon: Vatti , Wanhe, 0,000 Carre . In addition, brands such as Shuaikang, Haier , and Fadeo can also be considered.
In addition to the "4 not selected" above, it is recommended that when purchasing a range hood, you can also pay more attention to the "humanized design" of the range hood. For example, a certain brand of range hoods, in addition to being very prominent in basic parameters (maximum static pressure is 1000Pa; suction force is 23m³/min; noise value is only 50dB), also has the function of "waving and intelligent control". The experience of using smart control with a waving hand can be said to be very commendable. When cooking, you can open and adjust the gear with a light wave of your palm, so that your fingertips no longer touch the smoke.
——THE END——
said at the end: Whether the
range hood is properly purchased is closely related to the happiness of the home. Therefore, those range hoods with relatively excellent parameters are the most worth investing in. Similar to range hoods, it is also a "gas stove" for kitchen appliances, and it cannot be ignored when purchasing. , such as firepower, thermal efficiency, fire adjustment accuracy, panel material, and stove head fire cover material, etc., , there are many details.
