Rangehood type
Wall canopy (a hood installed against the wall), retractable (has a pull-out element), or undermount (integrated into a kitchen cupboard).
Noise score
Noise is measured at each fan setting using a noise level meter 500mm from the front edge of the hood.

Performance score
Our tester installs rangehoods, ensuring instructions are followed. She tests steam removal in both ducted and recirculating modes by boiling 1L of water in two saucepans, and leaving them to simmer. She assesses how much steam is collected in low and high fan settings and how much escapes from the front and sides. The test is repeated with four pans (which is usually where you see a difference in performance between rangehoods). She also records a video to ensure her assessments are correct.

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.

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.
