  • Kitchen cooker hood minefield is doing my head in. Need to decide and purchase something before the week after next.

    Kitchen currently has no extraction. Recirculating is shit. It's a small terrace kitchen, but I cook with woks and griddles and that so do need a good suck. Lowest noise possible is important. Can't go straight out the wall because of the next house over.

    The two possible routes I can envisage are either up through the boiler cupboard or all the way across, through the wall and the bathroom and out the exterior wall there.

    Is this too long a run of ducting for the average hood to deal with?

    If I go up through the boiler cupboard, I'm presuming I could use an inline fan, because that's already what's been proposed by my handyman for improving the bathroom extraction.

    The ~2 million nearly identical hoods available, all with confusing and differing specs, prices and dubious availability are confusing the shit out of me.

    Halp.

  • However. If you want low noise then hiding an inline fan somewhere outside of the kitchen is the way to go.

    But... The more powerful and more silent the fan = More money.

  • Do people actually do this? I suppose your problem is that your kitchen has no ventilation at all because of the stupid bathroom stuck to it.

  • Possibly irrelevant part from recommending the brand, but I got a Neff D49ED22N0B and it's very quiet and could suck a golf ball through a garden hose.
