You are bound to have seen one already. The current kitchen appliance trend is undoubtedly the extractor hob. What an incredible idea – combining cooking and ventilation! Whether to save space, create a clearer view or increase efficiency – this hob meets a number of needs. We explain everything you need to know in this buyer's guide.

How does an extractor hob work?

The extractor hob is more compact than a traditional hob. It captures odours and smoke directly from the cooking source. The extraction system is activated automatically or by pressing a start button. First of all, for the appliance to be effective, it will be necessary to ensure that the Cooking and Extractor parts work efficiently and each be of high quality. Whether for evacuation or recycling, you will have to pay attention to the quality of the filters. You need just the right balance – neither too thin nor too thick – so that they filter the grease sufficiently without clogging the motor. As the hob with integrated hood needs to extract the air hard and fast, it may make more noise. The hood’s power includes several speeds. It is therefore important for it to be fitted with a noise-absorber, decent cladding and a quieter motor. To check its sound quality, look for the decibels (dB).

Why choose an extractor hob?

In terms of aesthetics, the induction hob with integrated hood lends your kitchen a refined style. But its technical qualities are what will seduce you most.
