Onboard Vs. Offboard Rangehoods
When it comes to rangehoods, finding the right one for your home is absolutely vital, which is why Schweigen believes that consumers should have all the knowledge before making a decision. One important thing to consider – the difference between onboard and offboard rangehoods.
While onboard rangehoods, also known as internally motored rangehoods, have their fans inbuilt into the canopy, offboard rangehoods, or externally motored rangehoods, have theirs mounted outside the home. If there’s one thing the experts at Schweigen can tell us, it’s that offboard rangehoods are by far the superior option, for a range of reasons. In particular, a Schweigen Silent Rangehood with a German-made Isodrive® motor system is the one you should be looking for.
For starters, the silent rangehood is, as the name indicates, silent. By externally mounting the motor, any noise produced by the fan travels directly outdoors, creating a peaceful internal environment. Running at levels one to three, which can easily and powerfully handle heavy cooking, a five-speed Schweigen Silent Rangehood is as quiet as a laptop computer fan. If you need to bump the level up into Boost mode, the rangehood is still very quiet. All you hear is air passing through the filters. By comparison, an onboard rangehood produces noise directly into the home – usually at ear level of the person cooking.
Schweigen silent rangehoods powered by Isodrive motors are exceptional at helping to trap airborne grease in filters and expelling smoke, steam and odours into the outside air efficiently. This ultimately reduces the chance of mould and bacteria forming in your kitchen.
Another desirable feature of offboard rangehoods is their ability to perform air extraction in one seamless energy-efficient pull from the outside, unlike onboard rangehoods that work twice as hard to push cooking exhaust up the ducting, introducing air turbulence and a drop in air pressure as it does so. With a Schweigen Silent Rangehood, the energy savings are more than 300 percent. Best of all, Schweigen’s offboard rangehoods are built to last, and their Isodrive motor systems come with 10-year warranties for enduring peace of mind.
