Understanding Range Hoods | What is CFM?🔍

When shopping for range hoods, you might have come across the term 'CFM'. So, what is CFM and how does it relate to duct size? 💭

1.【What is CFM?】 CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute, which measures the amount of air a range hood can exhaust in one minute. In simpler terms, CFM represents the airflow capacity of the range hood. 💨
A higher CFM value indicates a stronger suction power, ensuring efficient ventilation. 🔝

2.【Choosing the Right CFM Range Hood】 To select the appropriate CFM range hood, consider these 3️⃣ key factors💡:

- Kitchen Size: Larger kitchens may require a higher CFM rating for effective ventilation.
- Duct Size: A larger CFM might necessitate a larger duct size to prevent backdraft issues.
- Cooking Habits and Frequency: Opt for a higher CFM if you frequently engage in high-heat cooking methods like frying or stir-frying. 🍳
