Hi,
Like everything else in my apartment, my rangehood needs replacing.
Just wondering if anyone had any opinions on what I should buy / what price i should be spending?
It's in an apartment, and I don't actually think it's attached to a vent that goes outside or anything.
Just checking out HN online and I'd not know the difference between a $100, $150, $200 or $400 one!
the one i had was a slide in/slide out. it was only 4-5 yrs old but apparently not worth fixing. ended up getting a basic westinghouse slide one
as long as you can get carbon filters for it that would be a plus
uhuh. i always wondered what the point of rangehoods that weren't ducted externally esp in apartments. never really knew about carbon filters. thanks
There are a few types of rangehoods - you need to check which type of rangehood you have and perhaps buy something similar.
I bought mine from HN - Smeg - I've been really happy with it (even though my cooktop and oven is miele) haha
yeh that's what i ended up doing. plus my dimensions limited my options which made life easier
I'm in the final stages of doing a diy kitchen reno. Being thrifty I decided to forgo replacing a perfectly good, but cream, rangehood and respray it myself.
if it's working, why not!
How modern do you want it?
I have just done some renos to a 20yo unit, including replacing the rangehood.
The basic Westinghouse 60cm rangehood (WRJ600UW $129 @ GGs) was fine for the space that was there already.
A more modern slide in/out one would have meant modification of the overhead cupboard.
