Rangemaster integrated cooker hoods fit inside your kitchen units, so the cabinetry stays in view and only the underside of the hood shows. They suit kitchens where you'd rather the extraction stayed out of sight than became a feature. The range has two styles, the Built-in Hood and the In-Line Hood, and the main choices between them are width and finish.
The Built-in Hood comes in 52 cm and 70 cm widths, both in stainless steel. Each has three speeds and push-button controls, with airflow from 180 to 390 m³/h. Noise runs from 54 dB on the lowest setting to 70 dB at full power. Low speed is fine for gentle simmering, and you can turn it up when you're frying or searing. Both widths are rated B for energy efficiency, have class A lighting and are suitable for ducted extraction.
The In-Line Hood comes in 52 cm and 86 cm widths, in a choice of matt black or stainless steel. Matt black blends in with dark cabinetry or black handles, while stainless steel goes with steel ovens and hobs. The 86 cm size is meant for broader hobs.
To narrow it down, measure your hob and the space inside your unit first. A hood at least as wide as the hob catches steam and grease more effectively. Then decide whether finish matters most, since the In-Line Hood is the style that comes in matt black. If you'd like a hood that's on show, see Rangemaster chimney cooker hoods, or browse every style under Rangemaster cooker hoods.
