I am considering to change my slim kitchen hood, is there any huge differences from those wall mounted and big types in comparison to this? My kitchen cabinet and low ceiling height is designed to use slim type (I think) and is there any good ones there?

Chineny hoods are definitely better than slim hood.
Few things you need to consider before buying


1) is the width of your slim hood 900mm now? Most chimney hood's width is 900mm, if your slim hood is smaller than you cant install a chimney hood or need to find a smaller one.

2) can you hack a 6 or 7" duct hole at the wall or window and also inside your cabinet or above plaster ceiling to hide the ducted hose. If cant then you need to get a recycle chimney hood.

Why are chimney better than slim hood?? Is it the suction power? Wouldn't slim hood's double motor compensates on the suction power ability? Kinda not expert in this please advise.
1) Yes, it is 900mm

2) The problem is I want to avoid hacking the ceiling (due to low height) or change my cabinet, as previous slim hood duct were all done in the cabinet. Can the chimney hood duct be installed as in this picture?
