One of the last kitchen appliance choices that customers make is often the ventilation system. It is, nevertheless, a very important choice. The reason that the kitchen is the most frequently painted room in a house is because of wall discoloration or grease buildup, often caused by ineffective ventilation.

The considerations on choosing your hood or vent include ducting method, vent type, location, vent volume (cfm), sound level, style, and as always budget.

• Hood ducting methods may be to the outside or it may be re-circulating.
• Hood vent types include undercabinet mount, wall mount, island hood, liner inserts, and downdraft
• Vent location will vary from blowers located inside the hood enclosure or located remotely.
• Vent hood volume is determined by the volume of air at a certain speed = cfm = cubic feet per minute.
• Sound levels for hoods are measured in sones.
• Hood styles vary greatly. An attractive hood vent can be a focal point of the kitchen
• Hood prices can vary from a production budget model to a luxury European built custom hood costing thousands of dollars.

As you can see, there is much more to making a good vent hood selection than meets the eye. Avoid making the mistake of choosing a vent hood that won't do the job you need.
