Why Choose a Low-Noise Cooker Hood?

No More Noise: Why Choose a Low-Noise Cooker Hood?

Featured Product: FR-CL1890 Made in Japan Chimney Cooker Hood with OIL SMASHER

In the realm of creating the perfect kitchen space, we often focus on the performance of household appliances, but there’s an aspect we shouldn’t overlook — their noise level. After all, a tranquil kitchen is not just about efficient cooking; it’s also about the harmony of a peaceful environment. And, believe it or not, the cooker hood you choose plays a pivotal role in achieving this balance.

Cooker hoods are essential, serving the crucial purpose of extracting fumes and cooking vapours and ensuring efficient air exchange. Simply put, they’re the unsung heroes that keep your kitchen fresh and free from the lingering scent of last night’s culinary adventure. However, here’s the twist — while they’re performing this vital function, they can also create plenty of noise.

But what are the reasons behind the noise, and what features should you look for to ensure tranquillity in your kitchen?

The Silent Culprit: Why is My Cooker Hood Noisy?

But first, let’s dive into the core of the matter — what causes a cooker hood to make noise

Cooker hoods, in essence, are large fans. At its heart lies a fan, responsible for creating the air depression that draws fumes from the hob into the hood duct. During this process, the familiar noise we associate with cooker hoods is generated. While it’s almost inevitable that they’ll generate some noise, not all hoods are created equal in this aspect. For example, some are barely a whisper, while others can be loud enough to disrupt the serenity of your kitchen. 

There can be various reasons why a cooker hood becomes excessively noisy. These reasons may include:

  • Build-up of dirt and grease: Over time, the fan blades can accumulate a layer of dirt and grease, causing them to become imbalanced. This imbalance can result in the fan rattling and shaking, producing unwanted noise.
  • Poor-fitting: If the fan is not properly fitted, it can lead to vibrations and excessive noise as it operates.
  • Fan motor speed: The rotation speed of the fan motor significantly affects the noise level.

Which Cooker Hood is the Quietest?

When you’re in the market for a cooker hood that prioritises establishing a quieter environment, there are specific features to keep a keen eye on.

Here’s a closer look at what to focus on:

  • Noise reduction system efficiency: Pay special attention to the decibel value indicated at maximum speed. A quieter hood will typically have a lower decibel rating. This measurement reflects the noise level when the hood is operating at its highest setting.
  • “Smart” extraction systems: Some advanced cooker hoods are equipped with “smart” extraction systems. These systems not only efficiently capture oil and oil fumes but also maintain the cleanliness of the inside of the cooker hood. This not only prolongs the lifespan of the cooker hood but also prevents instances of rattling and the like.
  • Fan features: Don’t forget to look for features related to the fan itself. Some hoods, like those from FUJIOH, have innovative fan designs that eliminate the accumulation of oil and stain build-up. For example, our FR-FS2290 RP/VP cooker hood features the Super Kirei fan, which not only efficiently repels oil from cooking fumes but also directs it into an oil tray. This keeps the fan clean and ensures it continues to function at peak efficiency.
