When purchasing a kitchen range hood filter, you need to focus on the following key points to ensure filtration effect, durability and user experience:

 1. Filter type

Metal filter (stainless steel/aluminum alloy)

Features: can be washed repeatedly, durable, suitable for Chinese stir-fry.

Note: needs to be cleaned regularly, may deform or accumulate dirt after long-term use.

Non-woven/fiber filter

Features: disposable, good grease absorption effect, but needs to be replaced frequently.

Note: high cost, poor environmental protection.

Composite filter (activated carbon + other materials)

Features: takes into account both grease filtration and odor absorption, suitable for open kitchens.

Note: the activated carbon layer needs to be replaced regularly, the cost is relatively high.

Suggestion: choose according to cooking habits - choose metal filter for heavy oil smoke, choose composite filter for light oil smoke or need to remove odor.

2. Filtration efficiency

Grease separation: The national standard should be ≥80%, and high-quality filter elements can reach more than 90% (the higher the value, the less pollution on the inner wall of the range hood).

Wind pressure and air volume matching: The filter element needs to match the performance of the range hood to avoid affecting the suction due to excessive resistance (for example, a range hood with large suction needs to choose a filter element with good air permeability).

3. Size and compatibility

Precise measurement: Confirm whether the length, width, and thickness of the filter element are consistent with the original (the error must be within ±0.5cm).

Model matching: Give priority to original accessories. If you choose a third-party brand, you need to check the compatible model (such as FOTILE, ROBAM and other brand filters may not be universal).

4. Material safety

Metal filter: Choose 304 stainless steel (rust-proof) or high-quality aluminum alloy (lightweight).

Composite filter element: Check whether there is authoritative certification (such as FDA food grade standards) to avoid high temperature release of harmful substances.

5. Cleaning and maintenance costs

Washable filter: Observe whether the mesh density is easy to clean (oil-repellent coating design is recommended to reduce oil adhesion).

Replacement cycle: Non-woven filter elements are usually replaced every 1 to 3 months, and metal filter elements can last up to 3 to 5 years (but need to be cleaned monthly).

6. Price and brand

Original vs. third-party: Original filter elements have better adaptability but higher prices), third-party filters have high cost performance, and you need to be wary of inferior imitations.

Nanjing TC Tech One Stop Household Parts Solutions provides high-quality, highly adaptable, and cost-effective range hood filters.

7. Additional functions

Anti-drip oil design: Is there an oil guide groove or sealing ring on the edge of the filter?

Silent optimization: The multi-layer filter structure may reduce fan noise.

Tips for purchasing

1. Check the range hood manual: confirm the filter model and parameter requirements.

2. Trial experience: observe whether the filter is easy to disassemble before purchasing (especially side-suction range hoods).

3. User evaluation: focus on keywords such as "oil leakage", "deformation", and "suction effect".

Prioritize matching the model with filtration efficiency. Choose metal for durability and composite for convenience. Regular maintenance is the key.
