Extractor and air cleaner are designed to make it easier for you to clean the air in your room from odors, smoke and various kinds of contaminants. The hood is convenient because it is installed in the kitchen and can remove smoke, steam and odors during cooking, and the air cleaner is more mobile in its use - it can be used both in the kitchen and in any other room.
When choosing a device for air purification, the question arises - which way will be most effective and what is better - an air cleaner or exhaust? Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of each device.
Air purifier Purifies air from combustion products Purifies air from combustion products, smoke Removes minute dust particles from the air Removes bacteria from the air Removes from air more than 600-hundred species of bacteria Installation will not take much time The device does not require additional installation and does not depend on the ventilation system

If you compare the possibilities of the hood and air cleaner - the last deviceeshnee cope with many kinds of bacteria and toxic impurities. The cleaner effectively removes air from dust and pollution due to the fact that it is equipped with a special filtration system.
It is this system that removes the smallest dust particles, copes with unpleasant odors, viruses and spores. The hood is not equipped with such a thoughtful filtration system and it copes only with simple tasks - to remove smoke, smells and combustion products.
Comparison drawbacks
| Hood | air cleaner |
|---|---|
| makes noise during operation | require periodic replacement of filters( this does not apply to models with a washable filter) |
| use the device only for air purification | |
| filter kitchen elements periodically require replacement | |
| If no change filterelements, they will become a source of harmful bacteria and odors |
The air cleaner has a significant drawback only one - this is the requirement to change filters. If you choose a model with washable elements, you will need minimum effort - to wash the filter once a week. The process of cleaning and washing the hood is more complicated and takes a lot of time.
Choosing between these two devices, take a closer look at the merits of each. If you need a noiseless and mobile device that effectively removes dirt and odors - stop by the air cleaner. If you need a device that you will only turn on during cooking and just want to remove smoke and unpleasant odors - you can choose the hood.
