Featured product: FUJIOH Oil Smasher Cooker Hood FR-CL1890
A home cooker hood is likely the least known kitchen device, but it helps to improve the air quality in your house as it removes cooking smells, smoke, and steam from the kitchen. It is installed near the cooking area and vents to the outside of the house. It can also be used in homes with gas and electric hobs.
There are many benefits of having a cooker hood. Not only can it reduce the unpleasant cooking smells and grease that floats in the kitchen, but it can also reduce the noise levels while keeping your indoor space clean and comfortable always.
Whether you cook daily or on certain days, you will find that your kitchen has a certain smell to it. This is due to the release of heat from your cooktop and grease from your cooking. When the two combine, they can emit particles that reduce your kitchen’s air quality.
If you use a gas hob, the combustion from your daily cooking can produce nitrogen dioxide, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide. The same goes for electric hobs but in lower levels.
The ultrafine particles from your cooking can also be considered harmful pollutants since you might unknowingly inhale them, allowing them to be deposited into your lungs and absorbed into your blood. You can prevent that from happening by installing a cooker hood at home.
Cooker hoods are designed to remove the smells and smoke from your kitchen. They can be fitted over your cooking hob to extract the vapours from your cooking. Besides, it is often used in combination with an extractor fan. There are two types of circulation for cooker hoods: recycling hood and ventilating hood.
A ventilating cooker hood requires an additional exhaust pipe to direct the smoke and vapour out of your house. This keeps your kitchen space well-ventilated and at the same time, helps to reduce hot indoor air.
Meanwhile, a recycling cooker hood absorbs the fume from your cooking, filters out the oil, and recirculates clean air back to your kitchen. Plus, this type of cooker hood is easier to install as it requires no ducting work for the exhaust fan.
Since cooker hoods are designed to filter the air in your kitchen, these are several must-have features that you should look out for.

For a cooker hood to effectively remove the smells and smoke from your kitchen, it should have a high airflow and fume suction. As such, the FUJIOH FR-ST2190 comes with an enhanced high airflow with new fan blower, allowing the high-speed spinning disk to operate at 4 speed levels with boost mode to capture the oil in your cooking fumes and collect them in the oil tray to stop build-up.

Every FUJIOH cooker hood includes a specially designed rectifier panel. The FUJIOH FR-SC2090, for instance, comes with a rectifier panel that allows adjustable suction from the bottom to improve suction power from the upper, left, and right sides. As such, the increased suction speed improves the efficiency of the fume capturing capacity.
When you operate a cooker hood at full power, the noise level of the fan can be very high, which is comparable to a hairdryer (52dB). As such, if you prefer a cooker hood that emits a lower noise level, consider the FUJIOH FR-CL1890 as it emits a noise level as low as 46 dB.
