Range Hoods – Shop The FOTILE Collection

There is no real difference—both terms refer to the same appliance that removes smoke, grease, and odors from cooking. “Range hood” is the more common name, while “kitchen hood” is simply another way of saying it. Explore our Pixie Air Series and Inclined Vent Series to see the different styles available.

Vented range hoods exhaust air outdoors, which is the most effective option, but not all models require it. If your kitchen setup doesn’t allow ducting, a Perimeter Vent Series hood with recirculating filters can clean and return air back into the kitchen.

A range hood helps remove smoke, grease, steam, and cooking odors from the air while you cook. Pairing it with a FOTILE cooktop or electric range ensures both cleaner air and an elevated cooking experience.

The lifespan of a range hood can vary depending on several factors, including the brand, quality of materials, usage, and maintenance. Generally, a well-maintained range hood can last 10–15 years or longer—especially when paired with easy-to-clean designs like our Island Range Hoods.

To maximize your range hood’s performance and longevity, it's essential to follow the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations and promptly address any issues that arise. If you notice reduced efficiency, strange noises, or any operational problems, it's best to have it inspected and repaired by a qualified technician to avoid potential complications.

When considering which type of range hood to choose for your kitchen, the decision depends on your specific needs and layout. For example,ducted insert hoods like the BIG3610 vent pollutants directly outside, while ductless models use advanced filtration to recirculate clean air.

To determine the right range hood size, start by measuring the width of your stovetop. Ideally, the hood should be at least as wide as your cooking surface, so if you’re using a FOTILE oven or cooktop, match or exceed that width for best performance.

Range hood installation costs can vary based on factors like the hood type, the complexity of the installation (ductwork, electrical work), and local labor rates. For an accurate estimate, we recommend contacting our authorized dealers in your area, who can assess your specific needs and provide a personalized quote.
