A range hood is an appliance installed above a stove or cooktop to remove smoke, steam, and odors from the kitchen. It has a fan that pulls the air through filters, either venting it outside or circulating it back into the kitchen after cleaning. Range hoods come in various styles, including under-cabinet, wall-mounted, and island models, and can have different fan speeds and lighting features. They help keep the kitchen air clean and reduce lingering cooking smells.
