The Best Range Hoods for an Odor-Free Kitchen

If you have a cabinet above your stove, you’re going to need a range hood like this Hauslane Chef Series under-cabinet model. This unit comes in three finishes and two common sizes, and its ducted design fits underneath your kitchen cabinets.

The range hood has six speed settings with a maximum of 500 CFM, and it comes with three vent options to fit most common ductwork styles. It has a button-free touchscreen control panel that’s easy to clean, as well as changeable LED lights, and its stainless steel filters can be washed in the dishwasher.

This Winflo Wall Mount Range Hood has a classic stainless steel design that will look stately in any kitchen, and it offers 350 CFM of power on the highest of its three speed settings.

The convertible design can be used with either a duct system (it has a 6-inch round vent) or charcoal filters (sold separately) for air recirculation, and it has a telescoping chimney that ensures the unit will fit perfectly in your kitchen. The wall-mounted range hood has two soft white LED lights, and its mesh filters can be washed in the dishwasher for easy maintenance.

This Zline hood comes in a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to select the option that best fits your kitchen. The hood is made from a classic brushed stainless steel, and it can either be hooked up to a duct system or used with charcoal filters. Plus, there are chimney extension kits available for the wall-mounted design, and it can be extended to reach 12-foot ceilings.

In addition to being attractive, this range hood is also quite powerful for its size. It uses dishwasher-safe baffle filters to capture grease, and it offers four fan speeds, as well.

If you’re willing to spend top dollar for a range hood, this Fotile 36-inch is a worthwhile splurge. It has a unique side-draft design with a 90-degree baffle plate—a component that helps keep the noise level down—that automatically opens when the unit is turned on. The angled form also helps to channel smoke and fumes into the vent.

This range hood mounts to the wall or underneath your cabinets, and it comes in three classic finishes. It’s quiet during operation despite its maximum air flow of 1,000 CFM, and it has a sleek touchscreen control that allows you to select between the three speed settings and operate the LED lights.

For those who are renovating a kitchen or have a built-in range hood, this insert range hood is a perfect fit. It’s designed to be used with custom cabinetry, giving your stove area a seamless appearance.

The insert is 36 inches wide, which should suit most stovetops, and it has a round duct connection at the top. It offers three speeds with a maximum of 600 CFM, and there are push-button controls on the bottom of the unit. The range hood’s baffle filter is dishwasher safe for easy maintenance, and there are two LED lights to help illuminate your stovetop as you cook.

If you want a discreet exhaust system in your kitchen, the GE telescoping downdraft hood is a worthwhile investment. This downdraft-type range hood goes into your countertop behind the stove, as opposed to above it. The unique design retracts into the counter when not in use, so you can barely even tell it’s there.

You can adjust the speed anywhere between one and 500 CFM for just the right level of air movement, and it’s compatible with GE, GE Profile, Cafe, and Haier ranges and cooktops.

Most range hoods offer air flow between 300 and 700 CFM, but if you want a unit that delivers unbeatable power, the ThorKitchen Ducted Wall Mount Range Hood delivers an impressive 1,200 CFM on its highest setting.

This professional-grade range hood is 48 inches wide (larger than your average cooktop), and has three ventilation speeds. It’s designed to be installed on any open wall, but can also fit under a cabinet if need be. The unit has three LED lights that you can turn on, and its brushed stainless steel finish will look attractive in any kitchen.

This ducted range hood from Cosmo is designed to hang from the ceiling, which makes it the perfect option if your cooktop is located on a kitchen island. The range hood vents out the top, so you will need a duct system for installation, but if you don’t have one, the hood can be converted with a kit (sold separately).

This island range hood has four built-in lights that you can turn on and off via its soft-touch controls, and its backlit digital display is easy to see, even at night. It uses dishwasher-safe filters, which makes for easy maintenance, and the product is backed by a three-year warranty.
