Rangehood type
Wall canopy (a hood installed against the wall), retracting (has a pull-out element), downdraft (installed next to the cooktop and pulls fumes downward), or undermount (integrated into a kitchen cupboard).
Size (cm)
Measured width of the rangehood. They should be larger than your cooktop area for maximum performance.
enter value/s in increments of i between 50 and 94
Noise score
Noise is measured at each fan setting using a noise level meter 500mm from the front edge of the hood. We don't recommend wall canopies with a noise score below 55% and undermount/downdraft/retractable with a noise score below 46%.
enter value/s in increments of i between 45 and 83
Performance score
How well the rangehoods extract steam in both low and high fan settings, and how much escapes from the front and sides. Water is boiled using two then four saucepans, and the more steam that escapes, the lower the steam removal score.

Shop Ethical rating
Shop Ethical rates the environmental and social impact of the company (not the product) using independent sources. This rating is not included in our total score. N/A means there is no rating for that company.
Speed settings
Number of fan speeds. Includes whether it has a 'boost' mode for extra suction.

One-way exhaust valve supplied
A one-way exhaust valve (or flap) inside a ducted rangehood can help keep hot air inside during winter or cold air inside during summer, instead of escaping through the duct to the outside. Some rangehoods have these built in, and some have them as optional extras.
Filter dishwashable
Whether the grease filter can be washed in a dishwasher.
Availability
A Similar model is identical in most aspects except for a few. This means that a majority of its test results are identical so you can reasonably expect to get the same results from the model we tested, but for those aspects which aren't identical, we'll note these as "Not Tested" in the Compare tables.
A Tested model refers to a model that is still current and available in the Australian market. You should be able to order this model through your local retailer, or find it online.
These models can't be found in retailers or online or are no longer manufactured. You may still find these models on second hand websites, or in second hand dealers. Test methods may change over time, so criteria which can't be directly compared will contain an N/A.
An Identical model is exactly that. Performance characteristics will be identical and the only difference will be something trivial such as colour, which won't have an impact on performance.
These are models we haven't yet tested but that are available.
