Options for Cooker Hoods/Extractor-fans

wannabecraig

I'm looking to get a new cooker hood and I'm wondering what I should be expecting for my money and where is best to buy.

Kitchen is smallish but has not door, instead opens into the stairs.
If I cook and there is a lot of smoke/steam then the smell goes up the stairs, which I obviously want to avoid. I'd also prefer not to have something too noisy.
I'm interested in the angled hoods but I'm not sure if they're going to be as good as the standard ones which look like they catch more steam/smoke.

Other info:
Have the hole in the wall with piping so don't need a re-circulation option
60mm wide
Prefer the chimney look
Smallish kitchen
I do a fair amount of cooking
Spending depends on how much I like but I'm hoping no more than 350€ (I can install)

Look at the noise levels, (usually in dbs), and go for as wide as you can fit... Then just look at how much air they shift...
Mines a bit crap...

Hole in wall will need to be 100/125mm, 4 to 5 inches. The other point is one with a steel mesh filter that can be put in the dish washer.

I'm wondering what the ratio is, usually the more air the shift the nosier they are etc?

Look at the Luxair Ison if you're looking for a good hood around that price point. Should give you the look you want but a good price point. Luxair hoods are all well built too.

Muahahaha

When buying a cooker hood what sort of cubed metres of air should it be moving per minute/hour or whatever measurement there is? I do a lot of smokey cooking at high temperatures in a wok. Dont think I've ever seen a hood that prevents the kitchen getting smokey but am renovating soon so hope to solve the problem. I wouldn't even mind if it was noisy so long as it got rid of all the smoke as it is created.
