Wall Mount Range Hoods

Wall Mount Range Hood

Some kitchen appliances are clear must-haves: things like next-gen refrigerators, powerful dishwashers and new microwaves are some of the most obvious, but when it comes to safety, a wall mount range hood is made to keep your kitchen air as clear as possible. With one of these, filtration and odor removal is easy (and it's stylish, too). These chimneys and hoods are some of the most popular methods of air filtration for lots of reasons, from efficiency to power, elegance and beyond.

Why Should I Choose a Wall Mount Range Hood?

The answer is a simple one: cleanliness in both air and on your kitchen's surfaces. Most people know to turn on the fans within these if there's smoke or odor coming from a failed culinary creation, but they might not know that powerful hoods can fight off airborne grease. This grease might normally settle on cabinetry and nearby kitchen surfaces otherwise, leaving the chance for mold and bacteria to seed itself into your kitchen. If you or your family members have sensitive respiratory issues, you'll know that mold is a problem you don't want to have. That's why investing in a powerful wall mount range hood is a must. Turn the fan on when you're cooking with your wok, saute pan, and sizzling cookware in order to keep too much grease from vaporizing and flying into the air.

Thankfully, these high-powered kitchen appliances don't all look the same. Explore options like chimney, under-cabinet, canopy and even slide-out models. Each look fits a home's style differently. If you're looking to make a statement, a chimney model is the best pick for your needs. Maybe you prefer something understated: under-cabinet versions sit beneath your cabinetry, and either pull air through hidden venting or recirculate treated air back throughout the room. Explore other options for your kitchen too. But when your range is up against a wall, these wall mount range hoods are definitely the ones you'll want to choose from for your home.

Vented or Non-Vented? Ducted or Recirculating?

When it comes to your ventilation, things will likely depend on whether your home already has proper ducting or not, or whether you're willing to have ducting installed. Ducted ventilation models pull the air up and out of your home via proper ventilation. Meanwhile, non-vented recirculation models use a blower and charcoal filter to pull in impurities like heat, smoke, odor and grease. The blower then pushes the air back out through a filter and into your home. Either way, you have a kitchen filled with more pure air that's easy to breathe and better for your home. For the gold standard in ventilation, choose a ducted version. But in truth, any wall mount range hood will serve you well.
