Hood manufacturers rating
Today the market is literally replete with hoods from various manufacturers. We will get acquainted with the products under the most attractive brands for the domestic consumer and make a small rating of manufacturers of kitchen hoods.
Germany - quality, durability and an impeccable reputation
The opinion that German goods meet the highest standards of quality and reliability has been around for decades. And, it should be noted, not without reason. That is why Russians, purchasing not the cheapest models of hoods of German brands, are confident that in the next 10 years they will not have to wear them for repairs.
Among all German manufacturers, I would like to note the following:
- Bosch is perhaps one of the most famous companies in the world. It manufactures wall, recessed, recessed and telescopic hoods. The material for finishing the case is stainless steel. Absolutely every model has a built-in backlight and a control panel with which the speed of rotation of the exhaust fan can be easily adjusted.
Model Bosch DWW 062450
Bosch manufactures units in two standard sizes - 60 and 90 cm (meaning width). Of the inexpensive models, one can distinguish the Bosch DWW 062450 wall hood (price about 7,600 rubles), equipped with a special filter that traps fat. The filter can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher. The productivity of this model is 400 m³ / h, and the power is 260 watts.
- Siemens is another respected German companyproducing island, telescopic, wall-mounted and built-in hoods in widths of 40, 60, 90 and 120 cm. The material for their manufacture, again, is stainless steel. Heaped up models can have decorative glass inserts.
Perhaps the most luxurious hood from the Siemens brand is the LC 956BC60R, which costs about 41 thousand rubles. Super quiet engine, electronic control panel, double charcoal and grease filters, illumination from three halogen lamps - and this is not all of its advantages! The main highlight is the built-in 17-inch LCD-display with TV tuner and multimedia player. This model was created especially for those who love perfect comfort in everything!

- Quite a young German company Kuppersberg. The name of this hood manufacturer translates as "top of the mountain", and if you look at the lineup offered by Kuppersberg, then there will be no doubt that this is indeed the case. Interestingly, they produce recessed, wall-mounted and island hoods in a wide variety of styles - from modern to vintage classic! You can see for yourself by looking at the photo below.

For example, the Kuppersberg F 926 WH model fits perfectly into a high-tech kitchen. Its cost is about 32 thousand rubles. It is made of steel and glass, has a very impressive capacity of 1000 m³ / h, has a touch control panel and 5 fan speeds.

Italy - a subtle sense of style and laconic design
Manufacturers Italian cooker hoods offer the consumer the most modern products, equipped in accordance with all the rules of technology. Each unit made in Italy is distinguished by its original design and set of functions.
Let's take a look at those companies that have proven themselves in the Russian market.
- Hoods from the BEST brand are a sign of good form. This company has been working in the field of manufacturing air-cleaning household appliances for quite some time. In their model range, you can find hoods of various sizes, unusual shapes and designs. For example, aggregates in the form of figures or panels. These will definitely bring a touch of freshness and aesthetics to the kitchen interior!
Take the BEST Equinox model as an example. Quiet and uninterrupted operation of the unit, capacity 1100 m³ / h, electronic control, 4 speeds fan, charcoal and grease filter, 2 halogen lamps, plus a unique modern design. True, the price "bites".
Agree, a rather unusual hood
- Zanussi has been working in this direction since 1984 and, it should be noted, it produces a lot of solid models. The assortment includes wall, recessed and hanging kitchen hoods. It is great that here you can find a hood at a price that suits you - starting from 3 thousand rubles.

- Italian brand JetAir offers an even wider range of kitchen air purifiers with island, wall, built-in and corner execution of the case. The diverse design will allow everyone to choose a unit for the kitchen in any style.
Advice! If your kitchen is decorated in a modern style, then pay attention to the JetAir Premium series hoods, the design of which is dominated by clear geometry and tinted glass. Or on the Modern series hoods - shining metal and laconic transparent inserts. But the products of the Country series with luxurious finishes made of noble species of wood will fit into country, Provence and classic kitchens.

Over its long existence, the JetAir brand has won the hearts of many of our compatriots - 9 out of 10 owners hoods from this manufacturer are never going to change the technology of this company, in their opinion, JetAir products - the best!
- Elica is another popular Italian manufacturer. The peculiarity of the products of this brand is the manufacture of premium class hoods. Of course, there are also relatively cheap models in the assortment, but the emphasis is still placed on the original, multifunctional and, accordingly, expensive hoods. If you love exquisite shapes, high technologies and are ready to pay more than 20 thousand rubles for a kitchen hood, we recommend that you pay attention to Elica products.
For example, an elegant black hood Elica OM SE TC F / 80 BL, costing 37 thousand. The beveled shape allows you to place it directly above the stove, without fear that it will interfere with cooking. The touchscreen display makes it easy to operate, and the fan and backlight are a kind of decoration.

Spain and Slovenia - innovation in the kitchen
Of all the Spanish hood manufacturers, I would like to mention the Cata company - it simply shines with innovations in this area. Among the offered assortment you can find aggregates covered with a special material that prevents the appearance of fingerprints on the surface. Another original version of the hood from the Cata brand - a body made of artificial stone - an amazing appearance!
From the middle price category, we can note the product Cata VENERE 600 INOX, which costs about 10 thousand rubles. Very solid performance - 851 m³ / h, low noise level (44 dB), steel body with DurAlum coating and a nice glass cover.

Gorenje is in the first place among Slovenian hood manufacturers. This company produces telescopic, island, fireplace, flat and built-in units. But the decorative models, which were thought out to the smallest detail by the famous Egyptian designer Karim Rashid, look especially impressive. For example, especially for the Gorenje brand, he developed a hood design with an extraordinary combination of colors and a textured pattern on the body.
The product Gorenje DQGA65KR adorns the designer's autograph - it looks like a real masterpiece and, moreover, is highly practical (582 m³ / h capacity and 180 W power).

Japan - the most modern technology in any product
The Asian firm Shindo is not one step behind the Europeans in terms of originality. But they have a completely different approach in this matter - they do not recognize mechanical control, and therefore they are doing their best to introduce more convenient innovations into their hoods. For example, touch control, high performance, economy, various timers and indicators.
The Shindo range includes classic, inclined, flat and glass decorated hoods. Particularly excellent is the model made of steel and glass Shindo Kalipso sensor 60 SS / BG 4ETC (about 11 thousand rubles). State-of-the-art display with clock, timer and filter clogging indicator. In addition, it is equipped with a four-speed fan with an excellent air flow of 760 m³ / h and a power of 200 W.

Note! Any hood, regardless of which manufacturer made it, is accompanied by instructions describing the configuration, the DIY installation process and the correct operation of the product.
Finally
Now you are a little familiar with the most popular manufacturers of kitchen hoods, whose price / quality ratio is optimal for the Russian consumer. Of course, there are many other companies that produce this type of household appliances, but they are clearly inferior to those listed above. For example, you can find those that are cheap, but serve little and cause a lot of trouble during operation. Or such hoods, the quality of which is impeccable, but their price is not at all happy.
The choice is yours. We can offer you additional video material on the topic of the article, which, we hope, will be useful for you (read also about the advantages of coal hoods for the kitchen).
