Is the integrated stove practical or not?

First of all, what are the advantages and disadvantages of integrated stoves?

No home appliance is perfect, and so is the integrated stove. Its first small shortcoming is probably the price.

When you browse the web or go to the store to see the integrated stove, I believe you have also found that the price of the integrated stove on the market is generally higher than that of the traditional range hood.

There are tens of thousands of integrated stoves with big brands and six or seven thousand ordinary models. Many people think that you can buy a very good range hood at the same price, so you don't have to consider the integrated stove.

However, another fact that everyone needs to know is that integrated stoves have more functions. One machine integrates a range hood, a cooker and a disinfection cabinet, or a steamer oven, which is equivalent to buying one for three or buying one for four. It is in line with the price logic to position the total price higher than a single functional appliance.

And for some families, such as the kitchen space is particularly small, open design, or there are several people at home, it is very suitable to choose multi-functional integrated stove.

Secondly, the problem of maintenance costs.

Generally speaking, in order to ensure the use effect, integrated stoves need to be cleaned or maintained regularly, which requires corresponding expenses.

But this is also related to your initial choice, because the integrated stove has a history of more than ten years, and now the products circulating in the market are very mature. Don't dwell on the impression that the integrated stove was just a simple integration of several home appliances. The more important reason for determining the number and frequency of maintenance is quality. In other words, if you buy a brand-name product, or the quality control is unqualified, the probability of product failure will be greatly increased, and frequent maintenance is naturally unbearable. On the other hand, high-end brands in the industry will strictly control the quality, have perfect system services, and even provide free cleaning service quotas, and regularly maintain and clean machines. Therefore, instead of worrying about maintenance, it is better to choose big brand products from the beginning. What's more, from the performance point of view, integrated stoves are more worth buying than range hoods for the following reasons.

First of all, the integrated stove has a better oil smoke absorption effect.

The first thing to consider in kitchen decoration is the problem of oil smoke, which is related to the use experience, cleaning work and family health. The first impression of people who have used integrated stoves is that the oil smoke absorption effect is better than that of traditional range hoods. Why?

The effect of lampblack absorption is mainly determined by three factors: air volume, air pressure and the distance between the air inlet and lampblack.

If the air volume and air pressure of the integrated stove and the range hood are the same, the air inlet of the integrated stove is generally closer to the lampblack.

This means that the oil fume is directly sucked away before it spreads. From this point of view: integrated stove > side suction range hood > top suction European range hood.

My family used to use a top range hood. Every time I cook, it's not only noisy, but also the effect of smoke absorption is not good. After dinner, I smell very strong. Sometimes the lampblack will run to the living room, even if you open the window for a long time, it will be a headache.

After changing the integrated stove, the effect is much better. This is because the integrated stove avoided this problem at the beginning of design, and added low-altitude near-suction technology, which can realize frying and quickly absorb lampblack; In terms of air volume, the integrated stove is also more attractive than the range hood, which can realize the instantaneous inhalation of lampblack. For example, some high-quality models of Martians can achieve an air volume of 2 1m/min, in other words, the kitchen air can be changed several times a minute; Coupled with the noise reduction technology independently developed, it is not noisy to turn on the range hood. In some integrated stoves, entertainment resources are built in. You can also listen to dragonfly FM after networking, and you can play mobile music after Bluetooth connection. , cooking while entertaining.

Secondly, the integrated stove is so clean.

Old-fashioned range hoods are unreasonable in design and not particular about materials, so there will be many clean dead corners, which are inconvenient for maintenance. However, the new integrated stove has made great innovations. Many brands of integrated stoves are equipped with oil screens made of easy-to-clean materials. There may be some differences in the materials of different models of oil screens, some are Teflon and some are nano-polymers, but they are all easy to clean. Moreover, because the range hood is close and the oil net position is relatively low, you don't have to worry about your hands.

Finally, in terms of function, more elements are more practical.

Nowadays, there are many cookbooks in online celebrities. Many people want to DIY at home after reading them, but they need a lot of electrical appliances. In addition, buying a steamer oven and an air fryer not only takes up space, but also has simple functions. But now the integrated stove has introduced the style of steaming and baking machine, which is equipped with a large-capacity steaming oven in addition to the basic smoke stove function. Not only can you serve food quickly at ordinary dinners, but you can also bring a variety of modes, and DIY food at home can also be satisfied, absolutely not chicken ribs.

To sum up, no matter from personal experience or feedback from people around you, the integrated stove is still worth starting, but I suggest that you pay more attention to brands and services when purchasing, and you must go to offline stores to experience and understand the after-sales rules so as not to step on the pit.
