Our team of experts has put together a comprehensive list of axial, inline, continuous, and centrifugal extract fans to help you find the best fan for your needs.

The minimum extraction rate for an intermittent kitchen fan can depends on the location of the fan. When installed adjacent to the hob, the fan should extract a minimum of 108m³/hr (30l/s), otherwise this is increased to 216m³/hr (60l/s). At 89cm in width, the Bosch Serie 6 uses a powerful EcoSilence drive motor to draw steam, greasy air and cooking smells towards its large recessed intake and out of the kitchen. Aside from being commendably quiet (the claimed noise level is 53dB), the Serie 6 also features a Perfect Air sensor that constantly monitors the air quality, automatically adjusting the suction power accordingly. Alternatively, a simple tap of its DirectSelect touch control panel provides three manual power levels and two intensive settings for frying sessions – the hood remains on until the sensor detects that all kitchen vapour and smells have left the room. As to be expected, it also comes with two bright 1.5W LED lamps to illuminate the entire cooking area. If you would rather go down the simple route and avoid having holes drilled into the wall, perhaps consider a recirculating model like this fine canopy example from the house of Bosch. The Serie 2 simply mounts to the wall above any 60cm hob (cooker style or integrated) and recirculates cooking vapour through its charcoal filter at a rate of up to 350m³/h. You can rarely go wrong with a Bosch and this one’s a case in point. It performs the task of expelling air without sounding like an aircraft, and it looks extremely elegant while doing so. If you haven't considered a ceiling fan before, the near silent gentle breeze provided, is enough to cool in all but the hottest of conditions. A ceiling fan is able to perform much more efficiently than a noisy traditional cooling fan, and removes the need for placing on the floor or side table.All cooker hood manufacturers recommend a minimum distance of 650mm above a cooker hob if it’s electric (induction or ceramic) and a minimum of 750mm if it’s gas. Bear that in mind if your kitchen has a very low ceiling. Thankfully the majority of extraction cooker hoods come with a telescopic chimney section that can be expanded or contracted to fit the exact height of a ceiling.

Do you need an extractor fan?Every bathroom needs some form of ventilation - either a window or an extractor fan. This is especially the case for new build properties, as they generally have a much lower level of natural ventilation. Beyond fulfilling the requirements of building regulations, bathroom ceiling extractor fans have numerous other benefits. This includes reducing the amount of condensation that can build up due to steam from showering, preventing mould and generally extending the life of your bathroom.

As your bathroom is likely to be the most humid room of your house, this can result in the build up of condensation, resulting in mould and generally leaving your bathroom damp. Bathroom extractor fans are the ideal solution to this but there are a number of considerations to make when choosing and installing a new fan.Key Specs – Type: Extraction and recirculation; Canopy size: 60cm; Extraction rate: 368m³/h; Noise level: 47dB
