*Introduction*
When you have a spacious kitchen or a wide cooking island, a standard 60 cm hood often leaves gaps where steam and grease can escape. A 90 cm cooker hood offers broader coverage, stronger airflow, and a visual presence that matches the scale of the space. In this article we’ll explain why a 90cm cooker hood is a smart choice for larger cooking areas and show how the *CIARRA ONE* combines performance with style.
*Wider Coverage Meets Bigger Cooktops*
A 90 cm hood is designed to sit above a 90 cm (about 36‑inch) cooktop. This width covers the entire surface and extends a few centimetres beyond each side, capturing steam, smoke and grease that would otherwise drift onto cabinets or the ceiling. For island setups or double‑burner ranges, the extra width eliminates blind spots and keeps the air clean across the whole cooking zone.
*Higher Airflow Handles More Heat*
Larger cooking areas often mean more pots, pans, and higher heat output. A 90 cm hood typically delivers 350‑450 CFM (cubic feet per minute) of airflow, with some models reaching 500 CFM for heavy‑duty use. The *CIARRA ONE* 90 cm model provides 420 CFM, enough to pull away steam from a big pasta pot or a sizzling wok without losing suction.
*Quiet Operation Despite Strong Suction*
Because larger hoods need bigger fans, noise can become an issue. Modern designs use brushless motors and aerodynamic fan blades to keep sound levels low. The *CIARRA ONE* runs at under 55 dB on normal speed, which is quieter than a typical conversation, making it suitable for open‑plan kitchens where the hood is part of the living space.
*Stylish Design That Fills the Space*
A 90 cm hood becomes a focal point in a large kitchen. Its broader front panel can feature a sleek glass face, brushed stainless steel, or matte finishes that complement contemporary décor. The *CIARRA ONE* offers a brushed‑steel body with a glass front that follows the full 90 cm width, creating a clean, uninterrupted line that enhances the visual flow of the room.
*Easy‑Clean Grease Management*
With more surface area comes more grease buildup, but modern 90 cm hoods make maintenance simple. Removable stainless‑steel grease filters slide out without tools and are dishwasher safe. The CIARRA ONE also includes an optional charcoal filter for recirculating setups, so you can choose ducted or ductless installation without sacrificing performance.
*Advanced Control Features*
Larger kitchens benefit from convenient controls that can be reached from anywhere on the cooking line. Touch‑sensitive panels, remote controls, and timer functions are now standard on many 90 cm models. The *CIARRA ONE* features a capacitive touch panel with three speed settings, a 5‑minute turbo boost, and an automatic timer that continues running for a set period after you finish cooking, ensuring lingering odours are cleared.
*Energy‑Efficient Performance*
A bigger hood does not have to mean higher energy use. Brushless motors and variable‑speed fans draw only the power needed for the selected setting. The *CIARRA ONE* is Energy Star certified, using about 30 % less electricity than older 90 cm hoods while still delivering strong suction.
*Installation Flexibility*
Installing a 90 cm hood requires a sturdy mounting point and, for ducted models, a clear vent path. The *CIARRA ONE* comes with a mounting bracket, a flexible aluminum duct, and a plug‑and‑play electrical connector, making it straightforward for a professional installer or a confident DIYer. Whether you mount it on a wall or integrate it into a ceiling‑mounted island, the wide frame fits standard 90 cm cabinet cut‑outs.
*Cost‑Effective Upgrade*
While a 90 cm hood is a larger investment than a 60 cm unit, the added performance and style justify the price for larger cooking areas. The *CIARRA ONE* sits in the mid‑range market, offering professional‑grade airflow and a premium look at a price that remains accessible for most homeowners.
*Conclusion*
A 90 cm cooker hood is the perfect match for bigger kitchens and expansive cooking zones. It provides broader coverage, higher airflow, and a visual presence that fills the space without overwhelming it. With features like low‑noise brushless motors, easy‑clean filters, and intuitive controls, a 90 cm hood makes cooking more comfortable and the kitchen environment cleaner. The *CIARRA ONE* exemplifies these benefits: strong suction, quiet operation, a stylish brushed‑steel and glass design, and energy‑efficient performance. If you’re outfitting a larger cooking area, choose a 90 cm hood that blends power and style—like the *CIARRA ONE*—to enjoy a cleaner, quieter, and more attractive kitchen.
