(1) Measure before you buy. Make sure it is at least as wide as your cook top to ensure adequate coverage for all burners. Also, a typical hood should be mounted 18 to 30 inches above the cook top
 
(2) Check the noise measurements. Range hood noise is measured in sones rather than decibels.
 
(3) If possible, choose a ducted range hood. Ducted hoods remove heated air from the kitchen efficiently through a wall or ceiling. They are far more effective.
 
(4) Check the filter. Make sure it fits snugly and is easy to remove for cleaning. The filter should be cleaned approximately every 1-3 months and they are often dishwasher friendly.
 
(5) Choose a hood that you will use consistently. Leaving a hood off while cooking can lead to reduced quality of air in the kitchen, as well as, damage to kitchen cabinets. Browse numerous hood models online before going with the one that you like.
 
(6) Speaking of taking really good care of the kitchen cabinets, it is a good idea to have them thoroughly polished and shined, every few months, especially on their knobs and other shinier parts. Use a degreaser and an all-solution cleaner on both the inside and outside part of every single cabinet, and its shelf, one by one. This will help the lifespan of your kitchen cabinets, overall.

Overhead and Downdraft Vent Systems
When cooking on the cooktop there are a number of byproducts that may cause an unhealthy and uncomfortable environment in your kitchen, among them are heat, smoke, steam, grease and odors.
A ventilation system is the best way to prevent this issue. Currently, there are two systems you may use, overhead and downdraft.
 
How Does Each System Function?
Overhead or updraft system pulls the steam, odors moisture and grease up through a filter where it is directed through ductwork and dispersed outside, or filtered and re-circulated back into the kitchen. The downdraft system pulls the air across the cooktop and down through the ductwork beneath the floor or along the base of the cabinets and dispersing outside.
 
Design Options
Downdraft System: One design is a hidden vent which will pop up from behind the range area between 8 and 10 inches when in use. The other is intergraded into the cooktop.
Overhead System: This system is installed on the wall or ceiling above the stovetop, because it is usually visible they are made to be decorative.
 
Efficiency
The overhead system is more efficient that the downdraft system mainly because the downdraft system must work harder to remove the grease, moisture and steam from the burners that are further away from the fan.
 
Budget
Overall costs for both systems will be comparable depending on installation, model, manufacturer and venting model. In general, the downdraft system is included as part of the cooktop, a unit without a system must be retrofitted and could be quite costly. Conversely, the overhead system can be installed over any cooktop, they are also available in a wide range of designs and prices.

What is the best hood for kitchen?
 
The best kitchen hoods are FOTILE JQG7501 Range Hood, Chef Range Hood C190 Range Hood, Broan F403004 Stainless Steel Range Hood, Winflo Glass, and Stainless Steel Range Hood, Cosmo Stainless Steel 200 CFM Range Hood, Golden Vantage Stainless Steel Range Hood, Cosmo 250 CFM Ducted Range Hood, Golden Vantage Stainless Steel Range Hood, and Cosmo 250 CFM Ducted Range Hood.

Is it easy to replace a kitchen hood?
 
If you want an upgrade or if your kitchen hood is not working, replacing it is quite simple. The steps are; shut off your electricity, remove the old hood, check to the wire, find the ducts, secure the cables, install a new kitchen hood, route wiring, tighten the screw, and test.
