7 quietest range hoods

The main task of the cooker hood is to eliminate extraneous odors and combustion products, the appearance of which is inevitable during the cooking process. This helps to protect walls, ceilings and furniture from the accumulation of grease and other impurities on them, as well as to make the atmosphere in the kitchen more comfortable. However, you often have to pay for the convenience in some things with others. To obtain purified air, users have to put up with the noise of the hoods. This problem is relevant for most, but fortunately not for all devices. Therefore, we have compiled the TOP-7 of the quietest hoods with which you can add freshness to the kitchen while maintaining a cozy atmosphere.

Rating of the quietest hoods

It is necessary to understand that absolutely silent models do not exist, so there is no point in looking for them. Even a technically flawless design will somehow be heard due to the air currents passing through the blades, small vibrations, and other natural causes. But we managed to select really quiet models that received high marks from real buyers precisely for their low noise level. However, they got into our rating not only because of this, but also due to their other advantages.

1. LEX Hubble G 600 Black

The review begins with one of the quietest range hoods available on the market. The Hubble G 600 is powered by a 100W motor. Also, the manufacturer produces an improved version of this device, where there are 2 such motors at once, which increases productivity. True, the noise level is higher there.

The manufacturer offers the device in several color options. If you don't like the black case, you can also choose beige, silver and white.

The Hubble G 600 has a maximum efficiency of 650cc. m / h of filtered air per hour of operation. This is quite good, but the presence of only two speeds in the unit is not encouraging, which is why you can choose only high and low performance. But the illumination of the working surface with LED lamps is excellent, as for the price tag from 70 $.

Advantages:

• high-quality assembly;
• bright lamps (2 × 2.5 W);
• low power consumption;
• pleasant appearance;
• many colors to choose from.

Disadvantages:

• only two speeds.

2. Shindo ITEA 50 W

If we made the rating exclusively from budget models, then the hood with quiet operation from Shindo would surely win it. ITEA 50 starts at 28 $... For this amount, the buyer receives three operating modes with an 80W engine capacity within 350 cubic meters. m / h.

For the organization of lighting, the manufacturer chose conventional incandescent lamps. And although this is a very affordable option for a hood, we would still like to see a better and more reliable alternative. But if you buy a device for a summer residence, in a dormitory or as a temporary solution, then this minus is not terrible.

Among the advantages of Shindo ITEA 50 is an anti-return valve. It is needed so that air from the outlet cannot enter the kitchen when the hood is not working. From the filters, the reviewed model received not only fat, but also coal, which is very nice to see in an inexpensive device.

Advantages:

• compact size;
• ease of installation;
• the noise level does not exceed 42 dB;
• convenient control;
• two types of filters;
• low cost.

Disadvantages:

• incandescent lamps.

As a result, the hood becomes completely invisible after installation. All control buttons are located below. The switches are mechanical, recessed.

The Crosby Singl is noticeably quieter than the competition at the first two speeds. If you choose the third one, the productivity of which reaches 850 cubic meters per hour, then the noise will reach 48 dB, which is slightly higher than the comfortable level.

Moving on to the chimney hoods, the first in this list is CATA C 500 glass. The inox prefix in the name indicates the color, which in this case is silver. There is also a black version of this hood. In terms of characteristics, both modifications are similar. The device contains a motor with a power consumption of 95 watts. The performance of this motor can reach 650 cubic meters per hour.

• two 40 W halogen lamps.

5. Exiteq EX-5026 60 BK / IX

Productivity of 600 cubic meters per hour of operation, three speeds, mechanical control and a two-year warranty - this is what Exiteq offers to the buyers of its almost silent EX-5026 60 hood. Even at the limit of power, the device does not make sounds louder than 39 decibels. At the same time, as a rule, in most cases, buyers choose the second mode, which makes the hood even quieter.

The motor installed in the device consumes up to 185 W of energy, which is not very economical. However, given the high efficiency, excellent design, high-quality assembly and a very attractive price in 133 $ this defect becomes insignificant. Lighting in the EX-5026 is controlled by a pair of halogen lamps, each with a power of 35 watts. The device is painted black and gray, but also has other colors.

A reliable, quiet and economical option for an apartment or house. The DACH SANTA 60 can effectively operate on an area of ​​about 15 square meters (600 cubic meters of air / hour). The device is equipped with a 65W motor, consuming only 68W at a maximum 3 speeds. To illuminate the working area in an excellent 60 cm wide hood, two LED lamps with a total power of 3 watts are used. They are durable and very bright, while consuming a minimum of electricity.

The hood is controlled by touch buttons located at the bottom of the front panel. It is not very convenient that before choosing one of the 3 speeds, the device must first be turned on with a separate button. On the other hand, it prevents accidental clicks.

7. CATA C 900 black halogen

We didn't have to think long about who to put in first place.A high-quality cooker hood produced by the Spanish brand CATA is an excellent solution for large kitchens. Productivity in 1100 cubic meters. m / h is enough for effective air filtration in rooms of 25-30 "squares". Moreover, we indicated the area even with a margin in case of strong burning of food on the stove, which requires very fast air cleaning.

The CATA C 900 hood has three operating modes. The noise level at maximum power here is 44 dB. But if your kitchen is small or medium in size, then you can turn on 1-2 speed. This will provide the desired result without unnecessary noise.

Of the advantages of the reviewed model, we can also note excellent lighting. Of course, for 196 $ many would like to see LED lamps in the hood, but two 50 W halogen lamps each are also quite a good option. The power consumption for the C 900 is claimed to be within 240 watts. This is the highest figure in the review, but considering the efficiency of the device, it turns out to be quite common.

Advantages:

• stylish design;
• body materials;
• performance;
• bright lighting;
• Spanish quality.

Disadvantages:

• high price;
• noise at high power.

Which silent hood is better to buy?

For large areas, the CATA C 900 and MAUNFELD Crosby Singl 60 are suitable. They can also be taken if you do not need such productivity, but you want to minimize the noise level. By choosing the first or second speed on such hoods, you can achieve almost complete noiselessness. In a medium-sized kitchen, you should choose LEX or Exiteq appliances. A good alternative to them is the DASH hood and the younger model of the Spanish CATA. For small spaces or with a very modest budget, in turn, we recommend choosing Shindo ITEA 50.
