Each of the three portable extractors that we’re highlighting today have their own YouTube videos to make their case; we’ve embedded them below.
Like us, many people don’t have a built-in extractor fan above their cookers. It’s probably not too much of a problem if you have an external window in your kitchen that you can open while you’re cooking smelly, smoky or oily foods. Also, if you have an open plan kitchen/diner and sitting room – you don’t always want cooking smells spreading and lingering. It would be even worse if you live in a studio where your bedroom is included in the open living space. The smell of food would get into your bedding and clothes – not ideal!
My choice would be the AirHood – it’s the cheapest option, beautifully designed and, after a successful fundraising campaign, will be shipping internationally from November 2022.
1. AirHood™: from £81.00, Indiegogo
2. Mobile dual-filter range hood 4600+3 packs of refill packs: £115.75, pinkoi
3. Dyson Purifier HEPA Cool™ Formaldehyde purifying fan: £549.99, Dyson
