Top 6 Wall-Mount Range Hood Models
If you have a passion for cooking but hate the smoke that comes with it, you need a kitchen hood. During the cooking process, smoke, grease, and odors float through the air and enter other rooms of your house. This can leave your home smelling like yesterday’s dinner for longer than you would like. Beyond dealing with unwanted odors, you also breathe in these fumes. Even if you don’t have a sensitivity to smoke, you could be left coughing and wheezing until your meal is done.
A quality ventilation hood can prevent all of this. Your hood can quickly filter any fumes produced during the cooking process so your air is clean and fresh. It’s time to stop spreading smoke through your home. Learn about your wall-mount range hood options and why these appliances are preferred by homeowners across the country.

Wall Mounted Range HoodsRange Hood Styling
If you are just starting your search to find an ideal range hood for your home, know that you have multiple ventilation options at your disposal. Here are a few different styles on the market that are built for different homes.
- Wall-mount range hood: this is one of the most common options. The ventilation hood rests against your wall just above your range or stovetop. It is built to fit between your cabinets.
- Island range hood: this has a more dramatic design. The hood is installed in the ceiling above your cooktop on your kitchen island. It hangs down to filter the air without blocking your view.
- Downdraft range hood: this is a unique style that pulls air down to filter it, rather than waiting for smoke and other fumes to float into your kitchen. It can be installed behind your range and can be lowered when not in use.
- Under cabinet or microwave range hood: these ventilation hoods are either installed underneath your cabinets or built into your microwave. They are usually the least noticeable and are ideal for small spaces.
Look at your kitchen to decide which design option is right for you. While an island range hood can be a stunning centerpiece to the room, you might be better off with an under-cabinet model that takes up less space.

Installing Your Vent Hood
One of the most common questions that customers have when shopping for range hoods is whether these appliances are easy to install. Admittedly, this depends on your comfort level when installing appliances as a homeowner. Many ventilation hoods come with installation instructions and require a minimal amount of tools. It is possible to set this up on your own. However, these appliances can be heavy and bulky, which makes them hard to handle if you don’t know what you are doing.
If you don’t feel like handling the installation process on your own, talk to the experts at Spencers. We offer installation services and handle ventilation hoods all of the time. We can quickly get your new appliance hooked up and ready for use.
