CANDY Hoods

Discover our range of CANDY Hoods

Cooking should smell good, not linger. Candy cooker hoods help clear steam, smoke, and stubborn odours so the kitchen feels fresher while you get on with the meal. Choices span integrated styles that hide in cabinetry through to slim visor hoods and bold chimney designs in stainless steel or black.

Start with size. A simple rule is to match the hood width to the hob below, with enough clearance above for safe, efficient extraction per your hob's manual. Next decide on ducted or recirculating. Ducted setups vent outside via a flue, which removes moisture as well as odours. Recirculating uses carbon filters to clean the air and send it back into the room, handy in flats where outside ducting is tricky.

Filters do the quiet work. Metal grease filters catch splatter and can usually be washed, either by hand with warm soapy water or, on many models, in a dishwasher. Carbon filters in recirculating setups are consumables and need periodic replacement to keep smells in check. A quick monthly wipe of the fascia and controls stops build-up and keeps everything looking smart.

Noise and energy use matter in open-plan spaces. Many Candy hoods include multiple fan speeds so you can use a lower setting for simmering and a boost when searing. Efficient LED lighting helps you see the pan clearly without extra heat. For renters or light cooks, a compact visor hood can be enough. For larger ranges and keen batch cooks, a wider chimney hood with higher extraction rates is usually the better fit.

Models and finishes change over time, so check Currys for current sizes, installation notes, and any compatible filters or ducting kits. Pricing varies by retailer and region.

Do I need to duct a cooker hood outside?

No. Ducting gives the best moisture removal, but many Candy hoods can recirculate using carbon filters where outside venting is not possible.

What size hood should I buy?

Match or exceed the width of your hob for best coverage. Ensure the recommended clearance above the hob per the product and hob manuals.

How often should I change filters?

Wash metal grease filters every few weeks depending on use. Replace carbon filters every few months, or as indicated by the manufacturer.

Are cooker hoods noisy?

All fans make some sound, but using the lowest effective speed and keeping filters clean helps. Compare stated noise levels on the product page.
