Recommended View more details.

We recommend ducted wall canopy rangehoods with a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 80% and a noise score of at least 55%. Undermount and retractable models are generally less effective at removing steam; they need a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 70% and a noise score of at least 46%.

CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

The CHOICE Expert Rating in ducted mode is made up of performance (60%), noise (30%) and ease of use (10%).

Mode tested View more details.

We test in both ducted and recirculating modes. These are our ducted results. If you're after the results of this model in recirculating mode, you can access our recirculating results from the main rangehoods page.

Performance score View more details.

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.


Ease of use score View more details.

How easily the mesh filter, exterior surface and controls can be cleaned, plus the intensity of the overhead light.


Noise score View more details.

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/retractable with a noise score below 46%.

Noise, low/high (dBA) View more details.

Noise in ducted mode is measured at each fan setting using a noise level meter 500mm from the front edge of the hood. If a rangehood's noise score is poor or very poor then it won't be recommended, even if its overall performance is good.

One-way exhaust valve supplied View more details.

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.
