What developers get via API

Every range hoods product includes access to structured knowledge. Here's a preview of what's available.

Maintenance Schedules

5 entries via API
Clean grease filters

Remove aluminum mesh or baffle filters. Soak in hot water with degreasing dish soap for 15 minutes. For heavy buildup, use a baking soda solution. Dishwasher-safe on most models. Clogged filters reduce airflow by up to 50%.

Every month20 minEasy
Inspect ductwork

Check duct joints for grease buildup and ensure damper flap opens freely. Grease accumulation in ductwork is a fire hazard. Professional duct cleaning recommended for heavy-use kitchens.

Replace carbon/charcoal filters

Ductless (recirculating) hoods require carbon filter replacement. Filters cannot be cleaned or reused. Replace when odor removal noticeably decreases. Most models use a twist-lock or slide-in cartridge.

Buying Guide

1 entry via API
CFM rating, ducting, and noise level

CFM rule: 100 CFM per linear foot of cooktop for wall hoods, 150 CFM per foot for island hoods. Gas ranges need more CFM than electric. Ducted is always better than ductless for actual smoke/grease removal. Noise: under 3 sones at low speed is quiet, over 6 sones is loud. Check local code for make-up air requirements above 400 CFM.

Duct vs. ductless comparison

Ducted: removes smoke, grease, heat, and moisture from the kitchen. Requires exterior wall or roof penetration. Ductless: recirculates air through carbon filters — removes odor but not heat or moisture. Only choose ductless when duct installation is impossible.

Tips & Best Practices

4 entries via API
Proper installation height

Mount 24-30 inches above electric cooktops, 30-36 inches above gas cooktops. Too low blocks visibility and is a fire risk. Too high reduces capture efficiency dramatically. Island hoods should be mounted at the lower end of the range due to cross-drafts.

Data quality

How we build range hoods data

Cross-retailer matching

Every range hood is matched across retailers using UPC barcodes and model numbers. One product, all offers and prices in one record.

Cleaned product names

Retailer-specific noise stripped. Model suffixes, promo text, and inconsistent formatting normalized into a clean, consistent name.

Merged specifications

Specs pulled from every retailer source and merged. One store has dimensions, another has energy ratings — you get the complete picture.

Variant grouping

208 product groups — the same model in different finishes, sizes, or configurations linked together with shared base attributes.

What you can build with range hoods intelligence

Kitchen ventilation planner

Use CFM ratings, duct requirements, and installation height data to specify the right range hood for a cooktop — matching airflow capacity to burner BTU output and kitchen layout.

Air quality monitoring integration

Connect range hood specs (CFM, speed settings, auto-on sensors) with smart home air quality systems to automate ventilation based on cooking activity and particulate levels.

Maintenance tracking system

Auto-schedule grease filter cleaning, carbon filter replacement, and ductwork inspection based on usage patterns and manufacturer-recommended intervals.
