IKEA hoods: an overview of popular models and specifications
The kitchen is traditionally associated with various smells. But not all flavors in it are equally pleasant, especially with long work. IKEA hoods help solve this problem.
Special features
Technique under this brand is mainly associated with cheap and stylish offers. But the company tried to provide consumers with convenient functionality. The power of the supplied equipment allows to “blow out” from any kitchen the main harmful gases. The range of dimensions and geometrical parameters of structures is great. That is why it is required to pay great attention to their selection for specific goals.
The company tries to implement an individual approach to the maximum extent. The undoubted advantage will be the ability to order a perfectly compatible headset. The company actively and fruitfully interacts with leading developers in the industry. Therefore, any system (both embedded and autonomous) has high performance, serves for a long time. The main strategy of IKEA is to achieve an optimal ratio of efficiency and energy consumption.
Lagan
This modification has a comfortable price and performs the task well, despite the limited functions.

This is the next built-in design option. The manufacturer claims that the energy consumption corresponds to category C.Like the previous version, the hood can operate at three different speeds.
The main parameters are as follows:
- air passage in discharge mode up to 320 cub. m per hour;
- air admission when recycling up to 152 cu. m in 60 minutes;
- noise at the most intensive work about 70 dB;
- electric motor power 0,126 kW;
- 60 months branded warranty.
The built-in design can be extended, while the total surface grows noticeably. Designers have provided the ability to remove and wash the filter in a conventional machine for dishes.

Exhaust weight - exactly 7 kg. An hour through the system can pass 320 cu. m of air. Even a simple acquaintance with these technical parameters shows the perfection of the system.
Consumers say that this model is decorated in a strict style. As a result, it can be safely mounted in any kitchen. Ease of use and subsequent washing is also appreciated. The material of construction is quite stable. Therefore, it is possible to choose such a model, if there is no desire to delve into acquaintance with technical subtleties.
VINDRUM
In the kitchen, this model looks very attractive. It is painted in a noble black tone and harmonizes perfectly with the same or contrasting headsets, table tops. It is important to remember that you have to purchase an additional pipe. Highlighting the hood is stylish and most people like it.
