Downdraft Hoods
25 products
When considering a downdraft hood, you're opting for a sleek and innovative ventilation solution that rises from the countertop when needed and retracts out of sight when not in use. Downdraft hoods are perfect for modern, minimalist kitchens, especially where overhead or island hoods might obstruct the view or disrupt the aesthetic. These hoods pull steam, smoke, and cooking odours downward, directly from the cooking surface, offering both functionality and style.
Size is a critical factor when choosing a downdraft hood. Available in widths ranging from 60 cm to 90 cm, downdraft hoods should match or exceed the width of your hob or range for optimal extraction. Since these hoods are integrated into the countertop behind or beside the cooking surface, ensuring the correct size is essential for both performance and fit.
Extraction power is a key performance feature in downdraft hoods, measured in cubic meters per hour (m³/h). Downdraft systems typically require higher power because they pull air horizontally or downward, which can be less efficient than traditional overhead extraction. Adjustable fan speeds are common, allowing you to control the ventilation power depending on your cooking needs.
Downdraft hoods can function as extraction hoods, which vent air outside through ducting. This is the most efficient method for removing odours, smoke, and steam from your kitchen. However, for kitchens without the ability to duct outside, recirculation modes are available. In this mode, air is passed through charcoal filters to remove odors before being recirculated back into the kitchen. Keep in mind that regular maintenance and filter replacement are necessary to ensure continued performance in recirculation mode.
Key features to look for in downdraft hoods include:
- Pop-up design: The main feature of downdraft hoods is their retractable design, which rises from the countertop when needed and lowers back when not in use, keeping your kitchen sleek and unobstructed.
- Quiet operation: Since downdraft hoods are often used in open-plan kitchens, noise levels (measured in decibels) are important. Many models are designed for quiet operation to maintain a peaceful cooking environment.
- Grease filters: Downdraft hoods are equipped with metal mesh or baffle filters that trap grease and oil particles from cooking fumes. These filters are typically dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning.
