Best Cooker Hood 2026: 10 Ranked

The CIARRA CBCS6201 is the hood to pick when you would rather not gamble on a new name. It hangs on the wall as a 60cm steel pyramid, stands 57.2 cm high and 43.2 cm deep, and 12,710 buyers have rated it 4.4, the largest body of owner feedback of the ten here.

Its 370 m³/h costs £21.62 per 100 m³/h, £9.12 more than the £49.99 COMFEE', and what comes back is quiet: 60 dB at full speed against 67 dB, which is the difference between talking over the hood and raising your voice. A 40 W motor drives the three push-button speeds, and the five-layer aluminium grease filters lift out for cleaning.

The limit is suction. At 370 m³/h it moves 80 m³/h less than the £129.99 TopStrong, which also adds a booster setting, so a kitchen that fries nightly has a case for the dearer hood. Cook normally and the sensible saving is £30, which buys the COMFEE' at £49.99 with 400 m³/h, at the cost of 7 dB.

For a budget that stops at £50, this is the hood to beat. You get 400 m³/h in a black 60cm chimney body measuring 59.8 cm wide, and 609 owners rate it 4.4.

The arithmetic is why it sits second. £49.99 for 400 m³/h works out at £12.50 per 100 m³/h, the lowest of the ten, against £13.75 for the SIA and £21.75 for the glass COMFEE' at £86.99, which moves exactly the same 400 m³/h. The chimney adjusts in height and the five-layer aluminium grease filter lifts out.

The trade is noise, 67 dB against 60 dB for the £79.99 CIARRA CBCS6201, and the carbon filter for recirculating is not in the box. If you recirculate, the £99.99 CIARRA CBCB6736C includes its CBCF002X2 filters and runs at 57 dB, for £50 more.

The SIA CHL60BL is the hood to take if a long warranty matters as much as the airflow. It is black, 60cm wide and 61 cm high, and 647 owners rate it 4.4, which is enough kitchens for a fault pattern to have shown up by now.

You get 400 m³/h for £54.99, which is £13.75 per 100 m³/h, £1.25 more than the £49.99 COMFEE' and £7.87 less than the £79.99 CIARRA CBCS6201. The 26.5 W motor is the smallest of the ten and still shifts the same 400 m³/h as the COMFEE' chimney hood.

Noise is where it gives ground: 66 dB, 6 dB above the CIARRA CBCS6201. Two dishwasher-safe aluminium grease filters and two telescopic chimney sections come with it, and if you want the same airflow with less noise, £25 more buys the CIARRA CBCS6201 at 60 dB.

The FIREGAS angled hood is the quiet one. It is a 60cm black glass body with touch controls and a timer, and 345 owners rate it 4.1.

At full speed it runs at 47 dB, which is 10 dB below the 57 dB CIARRA CBCB6736C and 13 dB below the 60 dB CIARRA CBCS6201, and a 10 dB step counts as roughly twice as loud to the ear. Its 332 m³/h costs £22.79 per 100 m³/h, about £10 more than the £49.99 COMFEE', driven by a 108 W brushless motor with an A++ rating.

The catch is suction: 332 m³/h is the lowest of the ten, 118 m³/h below the £129.99 TopStrong, so a large wok at full blast will outrun it. If you want quiet and power together, the TopStrong gives 450 m³/h at 58 dB for £54.32 more.

The CIARRA CBCB6736C is the angled hood for a hob that cannot spare the space overhead. It leans back from the wall in black tempered glass, stands 75 cm high, and 6,209 owners rate it 4.2.

It runs at 57 dB for 380 m³/h, 3 dB quieter than the £79.99 CIARRA CBCS6201 and 10 dB louder than the £75.67 FIREGAS, on a 70 W motor. That airflow costs £26.31 per 100 m³/h, £13.81 above the £49.99 COMFEE', and the CBCF002X2 carbon filters plus a 1.5 m exhaust pipe come with it, which no other hood of the ten matches.

The price is the weak point: £99.99 buys 380 m³/h where the £69.99 COMFEE' angled hood gives 400 m³/h for £30 less, though that one runs at 64 dB. Buy the CIARRA for the headroom and the included filters; buy the COMFEE' if the numbers are all that matter.

This is the angled version of the £49.99 COMFEE' chimney hood, with the same 400 m³/h and 469 owners rating it 4.4. It hangs on the wall and leans back over the hob, which keeps the front out of your way.

At £69.99 it works out at £17.50 per 100 m³/h, £3.75 more than the £54.99 SIA and £4.12 less than the £79.99 CIARRA CBCS6201, and the noise lands at 64 dB against 67 dB for the chimney COMFEE'. The body is 59.7 cm wide and 37.3 cm high, with a touch panel for the three speeds.

The gap is the carbon filter, which is sold separately here, and the price: £20 more than the chimney COMFEE' for the same airflow. If recirculating matters and you can stretch £30, the CIARRA CBCB6736C brings its filters and 57 dB.

Choose this one when the kitchen wants brushed stainless steel rather than black. It carries the same 400 m³/h as the black COMFEE' chimney hood, measures 59.8 cm wide, and 396 owners rate it 4.4.

The £20 premium buys the finish and a two-year manufacturer warranty, at an identical £17.50 per 100 m³/h for the 400 m³/h. A 65 W motor drives the three push-button speeds, and the chimney adjusts to suit the ceiling height.

The awkward part is that £69.99 also buys the angled COMFEE' at 64 dB, and £30 more buys the £99.99 CIARRA CBCB6736C at 57 dB with its carbon filters included. Take this one for the stainless chimney look and the warranty; for quiet, look at the other two.

The Cookology chimney hood is the £50 option with the highest owner score, 4.5, though only 63 buyers have rated it so far. It is black, 60cm wide, and takes two aluminium grease filters.

Its 323.7 m³/h works out at £15.44 per 100 m³/h, between the £12.50 of the COMFEE' chimney hood and the £21.62 of the CIARRA CBCS6201, and full speed runs at 65 dB. The chimney slides from 573 mm to 853 mm, so it fits under both low and high ceilings without extra parts, and the 65 W motor is fed by push buttons.

The limit is airflow: 323.7 m³/h is 76.3 m³/h below the £49.99 COMFEE' chimney hood, which also has 609 owner ratings against 63. For the same money, a household that fries and boils most evenings should take the COMFEE'.

This is the COMFEE' hood for a kitchen where the appliance is part of the look. The body is stainless steel with a glass front, it stands 80.9 cm high, 466 owners rate it 4.3, and it carries the same three speeds and five-layer aluminium filter as the cheaper COMFEE' models.

Its 400 m³/h is identical to the £49.99 chimney hood and the £69.99 angled one, but the price is £86.99, which is £21.75 per 100 m³/h against £12.50. The 37 W motor is the smallest of the three COMFEE' hoods here, and full speed is the loudest of the ten at 68 dB.

So the glass front costs £37 over the black chimney COMFEE' for the same airflow and 1 dB more noise. If that look is what you want, buy it; if you want 400 m³/h with less noise, the £69.99 COMFEE' angled hood runs at 64 dB.
