Can anyone recommend recirculating hood for me as my house is impossible to do ducting for my kitchen.
Is this model Firenzzi FH-902 is good? Suction Power : 1490m³/hr ? Will it be noisy ?

Most slim hood has low suction 400-800m3/h, as it is slim, the hood is unable to install big motors like the ones used in a Chimney hood. I double this slim hood can really perform 1490m3/h. Dont blindly trust figures in catalog as suction power alone does not represent performance.Is this model Firenzzi FH-902 is good? Suction Power : 1490m³/hr ? Will it be noisy ?

Common Reason why slim hoods are no good
1) Low suction : but in this case this model can do 1490m3/h which is strong but dont know how accurate this figure is. How to tell? Turn on the hood and feel the air pressure blowing out from it and compare with a chimney hood that has similar suction power or lower. If the air blowing out from the slim hood is much weaker than you will know the figure is not accurate.
2) Mesh filter : Easy to get clogged and require regular cleaning like 2 days once to prevent oil clogging the filter and reducing performance
3) Circulated air blowing directly to the user as per photo. Chimney hoods blow straight up facing the ceiling or side ways not to the user
