If you’re someone who enjoys cooking regularly, then one of the best appliances that you can get for your kitchen would be a range hood (A.K.A. kitchen hood, exhaust hood, or extractor hood). These kitchen appliances typically hang above the stove or cooktop in your kitchen and come equipped with a mechanical fan that essentially makes them work as extraction systems which ultimately help to capture, filter and vent out any steam and/or cooking grease that are released while cooking. By having a range hood installed in your kitchen you can prevent your kitchen’s countertops and walls from accumulating that same steam and grease, which not only is hard to clean off, but can also end up ruining them. Sadly, not every household is equipped with a kitchen hood, as both the installation and maintenance costs of these devices tend to be somewhat expensive. Nevertheless, every person that cooks at home should have one, no matter if they own the house they live in, or even if they’re just renting it. So, if you’re looking for a kitchen ventilation solution that’s more affordable and also easier to maintain, then the AirHood Wireless is your answer.
The AirHood Wireless is a portable cooking range hood that provides a reliable cooking fumes extraction method, boasting an innovative Dual Filter Technology as it integrates a detachable oil filter and a replaceable activated charcoal filter, along with a powerful motor and fan, as well as a built-in air diffuser at the back, all while also featuring an easy maintenance, a quiet operation, 3 Speed Settings, and up to 480 minutes of battery life, plus an attachable Base Boost accessory that allows you to increase the device’s height so that it can clear cooking fumes more effectively.
Designed specifically to redirect cooking fumes out of the way, this portable cooking range hood can effectively filter any cooking steam that’s generated while you cook, ultimately helping to keep your kitchen’s countertops and walls clean from humidity and grease, while also keeping you safe from toxic cooking fumes.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the AirHood Wireless and check out exactly how this portable cooking range hood is designed to work, and also talk a little more about everything that it has to offer you.
DESIGN & SPECS
Starting with the device’s size, the AirHood Wireless comes at a fairly compact size, measuring just 8.70 inches long by 5.51 inches wide by 13.15 inches tall (221 x 140 x 334 mm), and the device is also reasonably lightweight, weighing just 4.01 lbs. (1.82 kg).
On top of its compact size, this portable cooking range hood also comes equipped with a built-in Carrying Handle that allows you to take it with you anywhere you want to, thus making its set-up process quick and easy. Just grab it, place it right next to where you’re planning on cooking, plug it to any close-by electrical outlet, and turn it on. It’s just that simple.
What’s more is that the AirHood Wireless’s small footprint also allows you to place it directly next to the pan or pot that you’re cooking with, which ultimately allows for a more effective filtering of any cooking fumes / steam that’s generated while you cook.
Moreover, the device also features a minimalist and stylish design that allows it to easily blend in with the rest of your kitchen’s countertop and your other cookware.
Then, in terms of its construction, the AirHood Wireless also features a very durable and sturdy construction, as its outer shell is made of high-quality UL94-V0 rated ABS plastic, which helps to keep all of its internal components perfectly safe.
Moving on to the device’s different components that compose its innovative air-extraction system. Starting at the front-side of the unit, we have a frontal Air Duct from which any cooking steam that’s generated while you cook gets effectively pulled into its air-extraction system.
Then, we have the inner-side of its air-extraction system, which works based on an innovative Dual Filter Technology, as this range hood integrates both a detachable oil filter and a replaceable activated charcoal filter that offer a truly effective extraction method for any cooking fumes that are generated while you cook.
Its detachable oil filter measures 5.71 inches in diameter by 0.12 inches thick (145 x 3 mm) and is made of durable stainless-steel mesh and rim that makes it both super-durable and dishwasher-safe. Its replaceable activated charcoal filter measures 5.51 inches in diameter by 0.31 inches thick (140 x 8 mm) and is made out of a recyclable material, containing approximately over 70% of carbon content, which allows it to last for around 500 hours of cooking, or approximately two years of daily usage.
In addition, the unit also comes together with 5 extra charcoal filters included in its package, allowing you to swap its current one out with a perfectly clean one whenever it’s time to do so.
Then, installed behind its detachable oil filter and replaceable activated charcoal filter, there’s a built-in powerful motor and fan that are utilized for pulling in any potential cooking fumes into the device’s air-extraction system and through both of its oil and carbon filters.
Finally, at the back-side of the device, there’s a built-in air diffuser that dissipates clean air out of the unit’s air-extraction system after having those said cooking fumes filtered through its oil and carbon filters.
Best of all, the device also comes together with an attachable Base Boost accessory that allows you to increase the height of your AirHood Wireless so that it can filter and clear out any potential cooking fumes more effectively.
INTERFACE / CONTROL PANEL
When it comes to the device’s interface, this portable cooking range hood also comes equipped with a set of built-in controls integrated at its top-side that allows you to control its Speed Settings.
You can choose between 3 different Speed Settings, which go as: Low, Medium, and High.
The Low Speed Setting has the device’s air-extraction system working at a fan-speed of 3,100rpm (+/-5%), making the device capable of generating a 1.1 – 1.33 m³ airflow per minute at a 60 dBA noise-level.
The Medium Speed Setting has the device’s air-extraction system working at a fan-speed of 4,000rpm (+/-5%), making the device capable of generating a slightly more powerful 1.45 – 1.8 m³ airflow per minute at a 65 dBA noise-level.
The High Speed Setting (which is its most powerful speed setting) has the device’s air-extraction system working at a fan-speed of 5,000rpm (+/-5%), making the device capable of generating a fairly more powerful 2 – 2.5 m³ airflow per minute at a 70 dBA noise-level.
Regardless of which Speed Setting you decide to go with, know that the AirHood Wireless features a reasonably quiet operation.
BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE
For its power-source, the device draws its power from a built-in Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery that can offer you up to 480 minutes of runtime.
More specifically, you can get up to 480 minutes of runtime when having the device working at its Low Speed Setting, around 240 minutes of runtime when having it working at its Medium Speed Setting, or approximately 120 minutes of runtime when having the device working at its High Speed Setting.
The device also comes equipped with a set of Battery Status LEDs that integrate a total of 5 LED Lights which inform you about the device’s current battery level.
Whenever its internal battery is running low on power, all you have to do is to connect its included Power Cord to the device’s dedicated Power Cord slot, which can be found at the back-side of the unit, directly below its built-in air diffuser.
For the device’s power specs, know that the AirHood Wireless features a Rated Power Voltage of 100-240V AC (1.3A at 50/60Hz).
