These cooking hoods are quite different from island and chimney hoods. This is so because unlike the two they are fitted behind a furniture door where you have to pull the door and the integrated hood will automatically be turned on. The integrated cooker hoods are designed to fit into integrated fitted kitchen units. However, they are not as powerful as chimney or island models. They are the cheapest cooker hoods in the market and are suitable for use with a four-ring free standing cooker or hob. The sizes of the integrated cooker hood vary. These are 52, 60, 72, 75 and 90 cm. the 60 and the 90 cm are the most popular ones. The most popular manufactures include: AEG, Baumatic, New world, Hot point and others.

You should check whether the integrated cooker hood is fitted with electronic controls and LED. This makes it easier to use and control the hood. The LED ensures that your food is illuminated and you can see what is cooking. Another matter to put into consideration while buying an integrated cooker hood is the noise level. You should make sure that your cooker hood is highly efficient and at the same time quiet in operation.

The filters in the cooker hood can either b e the grease or the charcoal filters. You should go with the one that will best suit your needs. In case you decide to go with the grease filters, check whether it has a quick release mechanism that enables them to be easily removed for cleaning. The cleaner the filters, the more efficient they will work. The color and the design of the integrated cooker hood are not as important because the cooker will only be visible while it is in use. The size should be also convenient.
