Kitchen Hoods Explained: Types, How They Work, and How to Choose

A kitchen hood—also called a range hood, vent hood, or cooker hood—captures and removes the smoke, grease, moisture, and combustion pollutants your cooking produces. The right one depends mostly on where your cooktop sits and whether you can vent outdoors. This overview explains how a kitchen hood works, breaks down the five main types (under-cabinet, wall-mount, island, built-in/insert, and downdraft/retractable), compares ducted vs. ductless, and walks through how to choose the right size, power, and features.
