Range Hoods

Revitalize Your Cooking Space With a Range Hood

Whether you are a restaurant owner and professional or simply a home cook, fitting your kitchen with the proper range hood can make all the difference in your overall experience. Range hoods come in a few different styles, like wall-mounted hoods, under-cabinet range hoods, and even ones that will float over an island with a chimney extender. No matter what style of cooking space you have, you'll want to consider a few options before you make your final decision on a model.

Different range hood styles to choose from

Range hoods can be installed in any kitchen atmosphere as long as you take the space and your range setup into consideration. Here are a few of the different styles you can find for sale on eBay:

  • Ducted - Using a ducted or vented range hood will ensure that your kitchen remains a comfortable temperature and all of the fumes coming from your range are expelled outside of the home.
  • Recirculated - Range hoods without a duct or vent will simply use a filter and fan to recirculate the filtered air throughout the room to disperse heat and fumes evenly.
  • Convertible - These range hoods can be converted into any style that will work for your home or business. Convertible range hoods can fit filters for re-circulation or they can be fitted with a duct or vent to remove the vented air outside of the home or business.
The essential features you should look out for

When you shop for a new or used range hood on eBay, keep an eye out for some of these features that you'll want to have in a cooking space.

  • Timer - Range hoods with a timer allow you to turn on the hood without worrying about forgetting to turn it off. Set the timer to turn off when the range stops cooking or delay the timer to keep the hood running for a few moments after cooking is complete.
  • Lights - A range hood with lights provides far more visibility over your cooking space and can serve as extra kitchen lighting as well.
  • Variable fan speeds - Having multiple fan speeds on your range hood means that you will be able to control the amount of suction that occurs above your cooking space.
How should you choose the right range hood?

Purchasing an affordable range hood for your home or business doesn't have to be a stressful or confusing process. Consider the size of your cooking space, initially, as this will play a factor in making your final purchase. You'll want to make sure that the size of the range hood is as large or larger than the cooking space it is servicing. See the manufacturer site for more details on sizing for range hoods.
