Kitchen without hood

A kitchen is a special room in an apartment or house, so to speak, its heart. The welcoming hostess, meeting the guests, invites them to the kitchen to drink tea and treat them to something tasty. Even despite the frantic rhythm of modern life, from time to time all family members gather in the kitchen, for example, at dinner or a family celebration.

In carrying out repairs, be sure to carefully consider the interior of the premises. If the kitchen is not large and space is limited, the design of the room should be carefully planned.

Now there is a lot of debate about the need to install a hood in the kitchen. Users and bloggers are divided into two camps - supporters of traditional cuisine, in which there must be an extractor hood over the stove or hob,and ardent opponents - adherents of kitchen design without hood.

Some users in their reviews insist that the hood is a relic of the past. This device takes up a lot of space and you should not install it in a small room in Khrushchev.

Other users in their reviews write about the need to install the exhaust system not only as an aesthetic element for the interior of the room, but also as a mandatory functional attribute, without which you just can not do in the kitchen, especially if the hostess spends a lot of time there for cooking.

Heats up the discussion about the need to equip the kitchen with exhaust systems, the presence of arguments against this household appliance:

• "You can easily do without a hood, just use ventilation systems. Hoods are a relic of the past, their installation is beneficial only to manufacturers of household appliances."

• "Hood is an element of risk to health, because fat particles in which microbes and bacteria multiply are deposited on the grease trap in this device." If you carry out the cleaning in time and replace the filters in this device, then the use of the hood is absolutely safe.In addition, fat also accumulates on the stove and kitchen furniture, provoking the formation of bacteria.

• "During operation, the hood produces a lot of noise, causing discomfort." It is worth remembering that the kitchen is a place where it is always noisy, as food cooks on the stove (for example, roasts meat), water flows from the tap (when washing food or dishes), a refrigerator, a microwave oven also emit certain sounds. Therefore, another device will not be such a significant source of noise, especially if you choose a model of the hood, which does not make a lot of noise during operation.

An exhaust hood is a necessary and useful household appliance. It allows you to get rid of not only unpleasant odors and their distribution around the apartment, but also cleans the air from various impurities that are formed during cooking.
