When cooking in the kitchen, fumes are a headache.
In order to solve this problem, the range hood came into being.
However, there are many types of range hoods available in the market, among which direct-aspiration and side-draft range hoods are two common types.
So, which of these two types of range hoods is more effective? This article will reveal the secret for you.
1. Direct suction range hood
Direct suction range hoods, as the name suggests, are used to suck the fumes directly through the exhaust fan on the top.
This type of range hood has the following features:
1. The installation height is low, which is suitable for families with small kitchen space;
2. The smoking speed is fast, and the oil smoke can be quickly discharged outdoors;
3. There are various shapes, and you can choose the right style according to the kitchen decoration style.
However, direct-suction range hoods also have some drawbacks:
1. Due to the low installation height, it is easy to cause head collision when cooking;
2. For tall users, it may be uncomfortable to use for a long time;
3. The cleaning of the direct-suction range hood is more difficult, and the oil mesh and internal parts need to be cleaned regularly.
2. Side-draft range hood
Side-draft range hood, also known as wall-mounted range hood, is to install the exhaust fan on the side and suck the fumes away through the side air intake.
This type of range hood has the following features:
1. The installation height is high, which is suitable for families with large kitchen space;
2. The smoking effect is good, which can effectively avoid the spread of oil smoke;
3. The shape is simple, and it is easy to match with the kitchen decoration style.
The disadvantages of side-draft range hoods are:
1. Occupy a certain amount of wall space, which may affect the overall layout of the kitchen;
2. For small kitchens, it may seem more crowded;
3. The design of the side air intake may lead to a relatively weak wind, and the smoking effect is slightly inferior to that of the direct suction type.
3. Which is more effective?
From the point of view of smoking effect, direct suction and side draft range hoods have their own advantages.
The direct-suction range hood smokes quickly and is suitable for families with less kitchen space; The side-draft range hood has a better smoking effect and is suitable for families with large kitchen space.
Therefore, when choosing a range hood, users can decide according to the actual situation and needs of their family.
There are also certain differences between direct-suction and side-draft range hoods in terms of cleaning and maintenance.
Direct suction range hoods are difficult to clean, and the oil mesh and internal parts need to be cleaned regularly; Side-draft range hoods, on the other hand, are relatively simple to clean, requiring only regular cleaning of the oil mesh.
Therefore, when considering the maintenance cost of the range hood, users can also make a choice according to their needs.
Direct suction and side draft range hoods have their own advantages, and users should decide according to their own family situation and needs when choosing.
At the same time, when purchasing a range hood, we should also pay attention to the quality of the product, after-sales service and other factors to ensure that we can purchase cost-effective and high-quality products.
