Recently, I changed a range hood of more than 3,000 at home, and today we will talk about it. In fact, it's not the first time I've bought a range hood, from more than 500 small brands to more than 10,000 Fangtai, I have used a total of 4 range hoods, and I have stepped on a lot of large and small pits, so according to my own experience, I have concluded that there are 4 kinds of range hoods that can not be bought no matter how cheap they are, otherwise they will definitely regret buying back.
The first type: unheard of miscellaneous range hoods
At the beginning, I was like many people, thinking that the range hood was not just a motor and exhaust fan, there was no technical content, which brand was different? So when I bought a range hood, it was cheap, good-looking and which one to buy, and I casually bought a miscellaneous range hood with more than 500 yuan.
But when I really used it, I found out that I was wrong! Miscellaneous range hoods were good at the beginning, and the suction power was OK, but just after 2 months, the range hood began to have no effect, and the oil smoke was all stuck to the glass panel, and it was a layer of oil when I touched it, which was very dirty. And every time I use it, the noise is very loud, I have to rely on the roar to hear the family talk, I specially consulted the customer service, I didn't expect the after-sales service to be called a poor, ten minutes will only be a message, and not talk about how to solve the problem at all, is a mess, the whole after-sales experience is very bad!
After this experience, I know that the range hood can't just buy miscellaneous brands, at least it also needs big brands such as Fangtai and boss, even if you want to be cost-effective, you can also be a beauty pageant and commander, at least there is a high-quality after-sales guarantee if there are any problems in the follow-up.
The second type: range hood with an air volume of less than 15m³/min
Or take the first miscellaneous brand range hood I bought as an example, when I bought it back, the smoke effect was average, I was still strange, because I saw that the wind pressure of my range hood was also 320pa, which was okay, why the effect was still so bad. It wasn't until later that I asked a shopping guide who sold electrical appliances that I knew that the high air pressure of the range hood can prevent the backflow of oil smoke, and to improve the effect of oil smoke exhaust, it also needs a large air volume.
The air volume refers to the efficiency of the smoke exhaust effect of the range hood, and the larger the value, the faster the smoke is discharged. For people who like to stir-fry, they need a higher air volume to speed up the speed of exhaust fume, and the general apartment-type house needs a range hood with an air volume of more than 15m³/min to achieve a good exhaust effect, and the family that likes to stir-fry will have an air volume of more than 20m³/min It will be better.
I took a look at my range hood, the air volume is just 15m³/min, and the dishes I cook are heavy oil smoke, no wonder the oil smoke is always not clean, it turns out that the air volume is too small.
The third type: noisy range hoods
I just mentioned that the miscellaneous range hood is always "noisy", and every time I turn on the whole house, the sound of the motor running, is very noisy, and I rely on roaring to talk to people. Once while stir-frying, my father was noisy, so he went downstairs for a walk, and came back when the meal was ready.
Therefore, when choosing a range hood, we must be clear about the noise value of the range hood, and try to choose a range hood with low noise value! The noise value of each range hood can be seen on the nameplate, and the noise value of a good range hood is generally below 65 decibels, which can be used as a reference. In addition, if you buy it in an offline store, don't just listen to the shopping guide, let him plug in the electric boot experience for you, try to turn the gear of the range hood to the highest gear, and feel the noise of the range hood when it is working, so that it is not easy to step on the pit.
The fourth: a 10,000-yuan machine with complex functions
After experiencing the "devastation" of the first miscellaneous range hood, the second time I bought the range hood, I went directly to the high-end big brand to choose, all the configurations have been pulled to the highest level, and there are smart panels to watch TV, listen to songs or something, it looks very good, and the effect of using the range hood is also very good. But I soon discovered a problem, I didn't use many of these features!
When stir-frying, I just want to finish the meal quickly, and I am not interested in watching videos while stir-frying; in addition, when the range hood is turned on, there is still a very loud sound, and I can't hear what the song is singing at all; as for the so-called intelligent wave hand to turn on and off, it is even more chicken, you think about it, I have raised my hand, and I am still missing this second to press the button to turn off the range hood? So after actually experiencing it a few times, I feel that these functions are completely unnecessary.
And after removing these chicken rib functions, I found that it has no highlights at all compared to the beauty that my friend bought for more than 3,000······
After experiencing the use of the first two, I bought a new range hood this time, and I remembered to buy a brand range hood with large air volume and high air pressure, low noise and no chicken rib function, and I am basically quite satisfied with the use of it until now. Of course, if there are any problems in the follow-up use, I will give you feedback, so that you can step on the pit less.
