Recommended View more details.

We recommend recirculating wall canopy rangehoods with a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 75% and a noise score of at least 55%. Undermount and retractable models are generally less effective at removing steam, so they need a CHOICE Expert Rating of at least 70% and a noise score of at least 46%.

CHOICE Expert Rating View more details.

This overall score in recirculating 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 recirculating results. If you're after the results of this model in ducted mode, you can access our ducted results from the rangehoods landing page.

Performance score View more details.

How well the rangehood extracts 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.

The higher the score, the quieter the rangehood. Noise 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 not up to scratch then it won't be recommended, even if its overall performance is good.

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

Noise in recirculating mode is measured at each fan setting using a noise level meter 500mm from the front edge of the hood.

Shop Ethical rating View more details.

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.

C
One-way exhaust valve supplied View more details.

This is generally more relevant for ducted rangehoods. 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.
