// 1. Why is the side range hood better? //
① Side suction-good oil smoke absorption effect.
Side range hood, the tuyere is inclined, and the installation position is relatively low. After starting, the tuyere is closer to the cooker, and the natural oil fume is sucked away faster; However, the tuyere of the top range hood is relatively high, and the distance from the fume rising to the tuyere is relatively long, so the fume is easy to escape.
▲ This is the kitchen of my new home. It uses a side range hood. The distance between the tuyere and the stove is smaller, and the oil smoke absorption effect is much better than before.
② Side suction nursing is more convenient.
As a big electric appliance for absorbing oil fume, the range hood itself is easy to get oil fume, especially in the baffle area near the tuyere. The tuyere baffle of the side range hood is on the side, which is intuitive to clean and convenient to wipe; The tuyere baffle of the top range hood is at the bottom of the hanging cabinet, so the line of sight is not good when cleaning, and it is not convenient to reach out and wipe it.
▲ The tuyere panel is on the side of the side range hood, which is more convenient to clean and wipe.
//2. What are the advantages and disadvantages of top range hoods? //
① Top-suction cooking will upset the pot.
The top range hood is hung above the cooker operation area, so it can be tossed like a chef in a TV series when cooking; Ordinary people seldom need to turn over the pot when cooking at home. After all, it is the chef's skill to knock over the pot, and his arm strength is amazing. So this advantage is believed to be negligible for most people.
▲ This kind of cooking, except for the chef, I believe that few people will!
2 top suction-very depressed, easy to kowtow.
The position of the air outlet of the whole panel of the range hood is above, which easily conflicts with the height of the family, resulting in the head being pushed when cooking, which is very depressing to operate; Bow your head and turn around, and you can hit your head and blossom. The picture below shows the kitchen in front of my house. When my husband was making a midnight snack, I took a photo and saw him making a big bag. I really can't bear to let him cook.
▲ This is my old kitchen. Although the range hood has been hung very high, my husband's head is still easy to hit the range hood. Moreover, the tuyere is far from the stove, and the wall behind it is often sticky and difficult to clean.
//3. When is a good time to buy a range hood? //
As a big piece of electrical equipment, the range hood was selected after renovation, but it is not! Because the design of the range hood and the cabinet is integrated, and the power supply is preset according to the cabinet design, the range hood should be selected in the early stage of decoration (before the hydropower transformation), and then the kitchen water and electricity diagram should be made together when the cabinet is fixed, and the position and power supply should be reserved according to the kitchen water and electricity diagram when the hydropower transformation is carried out.
As a relatively large-sized electrical appliance in the kitchen, the range hood must be considered clearly when choosing. Many people have never used side suction and top suction, so they have no choice! It just so happens that I have used these two kinds of range hoods for more than a year. The above is my conclusion. From the point of view of smoking effect and convenient nursing, side inhalation is better, and top inhalation is easy to hit my head. If my family is tall, side suction is more practical.
