Island Ventilation Hood

13 years ago

Hi all,
Could anyone provide some basic advice about how to evaluate how good a kitchen hood is? I haven't the first clue of where to start. I'm in Ireland so I don't have access to many of the brands I might have heard of before as being good.

I know I'll need an island hood, and will possibly be enclosing it in some sort of custom cabinetry (the architect we're using has done this kind of thing before to a nice effect). As such, as far as aesthetics go I'd probably look for something with a flat profile like this that could be surrounded by the cabinetry:

Most important to me is that it is really really good at extraction! I have nothing now and am sick of the cooking smells lingering.
