Ducted vs Recirculating rangehood apartment, Slimline rangehood installation.
1. Ventilation Types
Ducted:
● Smells go outside via a pipe. Best performance.
Recirculating:
● Best for apartments. Uses carbon filters.
Pro Tip:
● Replace carbon filters every 4 months, or the rangehood won't clean the air properly.
2. Noise Levels
In open-plan homes, look for models under 60dB to avoid ruining the kitchen atmosphere.
