Which hood is better: built-in or pendant

Kitchen extractor - an indispensable device and imagine the kitchen without this device is difficult. The extract will clean the air of the combustion products during cooking, remove smoke and protect the walls and ceiling from soot. But not everyone knows what model to prefer and how devices differ from each other. Let's see what kind of hood is better - built-in or hanging.

Suspension model

Such a device is installed above the plate or mounted under a suspended cabinet. Such hoods are also called "classical" because they are considered to be the most simple and popular.

Embedded model

As you can see from the name, such a device is built into the kitchen cabinet. It is compact, practical and easy to use.

Additional features Possibility of installing a corrugated hose that improves the cleaning quality inEquipped zduha sliding panel, thereby increasing the operating area of ​​the device turns on and off the device by "pulling out" and "retract»

As the drawer seen hanging model really is simple - extractor will be such inexpensive, but it has less capacity. In addition, the model is equipped with a carbon filter, which you need to change every couple of months.

The built-in model does not require you to spend additional costs for changing filters, and for a set of two motors can please the performance and quality cleaning. Suspension hoods will also be able to increase their capacity and productivity with an additional hose, but this, again, requires cost and effort.

Also, the suspension device can not increase its working area, but the built-in hood is equipped with a sliding panel that can "catch" the air over the entire surface of the plate. Choosing the optimal model for your kitchen, choose the one that can satisfy your requests.

Built-in will look invisible in the kitchen, will please with the power and quality of cleaning. Pendant is suitable for those who cook small amounts of food and do not make high demands on performance and high power.
