Helpful information

Physical characteristics of the sound volume (the sound pressure level) is

measured in decibels (dB). «Noise» is a chaotic mix of sound.

The human ear can detect sounds with sound volume of 10-15 dB and above.

When choosing a kitchen hood, it is necessary to pay special attention to technical

indicators such as the noise level. This indicator is very important, because, and

that’s beyond a shadow of a doubt, each of us spends a lot of time on the kitchen. It

is especially common for women who love to please their loved ones with delicious

cooked dishes.

According to the surveys, 40% of women do not use kitchen hoods for their

intended purpose (it refers to the process of air suction), precisely because they are

annoyed with the noise level.

Consequently, such a necessary and needed in the kitchen appliance, kitchen

air cleaner, designed to remove airborne odors, grease, soot and smoke, becomes

almost meaningless.

In comparison with many other manufacturers of kitchen hoods, KUPPERSBERG

hoods are comfortably quiet. Even at maximum suction power of 1000 m3, noise

level reaches only 42 dB. This allows you to make the cooking process the most

comfortable and helpful.

For more complete understanding of the scale of decibels, you can compare
