Buy Zanussi kitchen hoods for a fresher kitchen
A kitchen hood helps remove smoke, steam, grease, and cooking odours while you prepare everyday meals, keeping your kitchen more comfortable and easier to maintain.
Zanussi offers chimney, island, and built-in kitchen hoods to suit different kitchen layouts and cooking spaces. Explore the range to find the right size and installation style for your home.
What is a kitchen hood?
A kitchen hood, also known as a cooker hood or extractor hood, is installed above your hob to capture smoke, steam, cooking odours, and airborne grease.
By removing these from the cooking area, a kitchen hood can help reduce grease buildup on walls and cabinets while keeping the kitchen air fresher.
Why should you install a kitchen hood?
A kitchen hood can make everyday cooking more comfortable by:
- Reducing cooking smoke and odours
- Capturing airborne grease before it settles on kitchen surfaces
- Helping reduce steam and moisture while cooking
- Supporting fresher indoor air
- Providing additional lighting above the cooking area on selected models
What are the different types of kitchen hoods?
The best kitchen hood depends largely on your kitchen layout, hob position, and available installation space.
Chimney kitchen hood
A chimney kitchen hood is mounted on the wall above the hob and features a visible chimney-style structure.
It is a good choice for medium to large kitchens with a wall-mounted cooking area and for households looking for effective extraction combined with a modern kitchen design.
Island kitchen hood
An island kitchen hood is suspended from the ceiling above a hob positioned on a kitchen island.
This type is designed for open-plan kitchens or larger cooking spaces where the hob is not positioned against a wall. It can also become a prominent design feature in the kitchen.
Built-in kitchen hood
A built-in kitchen hood is installed directly inside or underneath kitchen cabinetry, keeping most of the appliance hidden from view.
Its space-saving design makes it particularly suitable for smaller kitchens or households that prefer a clean, integrated kitchen appearance.
Which kitchen hood is right for your kitchen?
Kitchen setup | Recommended kitchen hood |
Compact kitchen or limited cabinet space | Built-in kitchen hood |
Medium to large kitchen with wall-mounted hob | Chimney kitchen hood |
Open-plan kitchen with island hob | Island kitchen hood |
Kitchen without external ventilation | Check for a compatible recirculating hood |
What kitchen hood size do I need?
Kitchen hoods are available in different widths to match common hob sizes.
- 60cm kitchen hoods: Suitable for standard or more compact cooking areas.
- 70cm kitchen hoods: Provide additional coverage for medium-sized cooking areas.
- 90cm kitchen hoods: Suitable for larger hobs and households that frequently cook several dishes at once.
What should you consider when buying a kitchen hood?
Extraction performance
Consider how frequently you cook, your kitchen size, and the amount of smoke or steam your cooking normally produces. More intensive cooking may require stronger extraction performance.
Size and installation
Choose a kitchen hood that matches the width of your hob and works with your kitchen layout. Also consider whether you need a wall-mounted, island, or built-in installation.
Noise level
Kitchen hoods become louder at higher fan speeds. If you have an open-plan kitchen or cook frequently, check the operating noise when comparing models.
Fan speed settings
Multiple speed settings allow you to adjust extraction depending on what you are cooking, from light simmering to frying and other high-smoke cooking.
Filters and maintenance
Grease filters capture airborne grease before it settles on kitchen surfaces. Look for filters that are easy to remove and clean to simplify regular maintenance.
Controls
Accessible controls make it easier to change extraction speed while cooking. Choose controls that are straightforward and convenient for everyday use.

FAQs about kitchen hoods
What is the difference between a chimney and built-in kitchen hood?
A chimney hood is mounted visibly on the wall above the hob, while a built-in hood is integrated into kitchen cabinetry for a more discreet, space-saving appearance.
What size kitchen hood should I choose?
Choose a kitchen hood that is at least similar in width to your hob. A 60cm hood generally works well with a 60cm hob, while larger cooking areas may require a wider hood.
How often should I clean a kitchen hood filter?
Cleaning frequency depends on how often and what you cook. Check the filter regularly and clean it when grease begins to build up. Always follow the cleaning instructions provided for your specific model.
What is the difference between ducted and recirculating kitchen hoods?
A ducted hood sends extracted air outside through ventilation ducting. A recirculating hood filters the air before releasing it back into the kitchen.
How can I keep my kitchen hood working efficiently?
Clean the grease filter regularly, keep the hood surfaces free from grease buildup, and use the appropriate fan speed for your cooking. Follow the product manual for maintenance and filter replacement guidance.
