Page 1 of 1
Hey
Its range hood picking time.

Anyone have tips or experience with these.

Highland bh9027g $1500

Baumatic $500

Westinghouse wrg950cgs $800

Been googling about and still have no idea.

Need a strong suction, pref quiet if poss.

Thanks !
We have a Beaumatic (BAH93CG-IS 90CM CURVED GLASS ISLAND CANOPY) It's absolutely stunning to look at, but it's noisey

My only advice on a rangehood is spend as much as you can afford. This piece of equipment will almost single handedly determine whether you enjoy your kitchen or otherwise. I hear more complaints about noisy rangehoods that do nothing than just about anything else.

We purchased a Qasair. Australian made, very quiet, very effective and almost universally recommended by the kitchen trade. Will be quite a bit more expensive than the ones you are looking at but if you can stretch, you should.

(remember to factor in the ducting costs)

throw a pice of paper up the rangehood if it sticks because of suction power then it works if does not then forget it
Hi we are getting a schweigen rangehood with the isodrive motor (strongest suction motor in range 1200m3-ducted motor sits on the outside of your building) we spent 2K. It has been installed in our new kitchen and boy is it quiet
. It is available in a range of designs. We bought the 90cm concealed under mount. Maybe worth a look.

Here is their website http://www.schweigen.com.au/

Edited to add: We can't wait to move into our new home next month.
