Range Hoods Buying Guide<\/h2>\n

How Much CFM is Necessary for My Range Hood?<\/h3>\n

Range hoods measure their air flow with a unit called CFM, or cubic feet per minute. CFM determines how much air is exhausted by the range hood. If you’re wondering why non-ducted range hoods don’t specify their CFM levels, it’s because those hoods recirculate, not exhaust, the vapors.<\/p>\n

So if you’re looking for a ducted hood, how do you know what CFM level is best for your stove, and is it always best to have the highest CFM? Really, the answer lies with the type of cooktop you have, the size of your kitchen, and the length of your duct. <\/p>\n

As a general rule, though, you can determine the appropriate CFM for your cooktop based on whether it’s gas or electric:<\/font><\/strong> <\/p>\n
