I am a home appliance blogger and usually like to share some home appliance reviews and experiences online. Today I want to talk to you about the topic of range hoods, because I just recently replaced a new range hood, and this is the second one I have replaced in three years.
The reason why I change the range hood frequently is actually because I was not satisfied with the two I bought before.
The first one I bought three years ago when I moved into a new house, and in order to save money, I randomly picked a Chinese-style deep-hood hood on the Internet that cost less than 1,000 yuan.
Although this range hood is cheap, it has many disadvantages:
small air volume, insufficient suction, frequent smoke running;
loud noise, noisy when used;
Cleaning is troublesome, and it is necessary to frequently disassemble the filter screen and oil collection box;
The appearance is rough, takes up a lot of space, and is not beautiful.
After using it for half a year, I regretted it and felt that this range hood could not meet my needs at all.
So I decided to change to a European-style flat hood, which looks more fashionable and the price is not expensive, about 1500 yuan. I found a brand with relatively high sales online and placed an order.
As a result, this European flatbed hood also disappointed me.
Although it looks better than the Chinese deep-hood hood, it also has many problems:
Although the air volume is larger than that of the Chinese deep-hood hood, it is still not powerful enough;
Low oil separation, easy to accumulate oil;
It is also inconvenient to clean, and the glass panel needs to be wiped frequently.
After using it for more than a year, I wanted to get a better range hood.
This time I did a lot of homework, checked a lot of information and reviews, and consulted a lot of professionals and users online.
Finally I locked a few key metrics and features:
The air volume should be large, at least more than 18 cubic meters / minute;
The wind pressure should be high, at least above 300 Pa;
The separation of grease should be high, at least more than 90%;
The style should choose the side suction type, close to the stove, and have strong smoke holding ability;
Cleaning should be convenient, it is best to have automatic cleaning function;
The noise should be low, preferably below 50 decibels;
The appearance should be beautiful, and it is best to have intelligent control functions.
According to these standards, I screened on JD.com and found that the prices were all above 3,000 yuan.
Although I was a little distressed, I still gritted my teeth and placed an order thinking about the importance of the range hood.
I chose one of the top selling brands on JD.com, the model is CXW-260-27A3H.
The parameters and functions of this range hood meet my requirements, and the evaluation is also very good.
After receiving the goods, I installed it immediately.
After using it for a month, I found this range hood to be really good.
Its advantages are:
Large air volume, reaching 21 cubic meters / min, strong suction;
high wind pressure,
High separation of grease, up to 92%, less oil stain;
Side suction design
Automatic cleaning function, one-key start, no need to disassemble;
Low noise,
Beautiful appearance, black glass panel, atmospheric fashion;
Intelligent control function
All in all, this range hood makes me very satisfied, I think it is very cost-effective. Although it is a little more expensive than the two range hoods I bought before, its performance and quality far exceed them. I finally know the difference between a 1,000 yuan hood and a 3,000 yuan hood.
