Looking For Recommendations For Extractor

[BankNote]

Can someone suggest me a excellent brand/model of extractor .

Especially with good after sales service + ability to buy it from Jumbo or one of the big super markets?

Thanks

I am assuming "extractor" means "exhaust fan" in american english?
or is it something to make orange juice with?
or do you want to extract toenails from recalcitrant children?
In the USA, an extractor usually refers to removing teeth from the mouth.
I am guessing thats not what you want.

If what you want is an exhaust fan for over your kitchen stove, I recommend Franke/Spar

They are all stainless steel, the parent company is Swiss, but they are Industria Argentina.
That means parts are available here, but quality is considerably above Ariston or other cheap versions.

But when you say Jumbo, I gotta wonder.
I personaly find pretty much nothing worth buying at EASY, the Jumbo version of hardware store.

I'm guessing he's talking about juicers. I don't know if the sell kitchen extractors at the grocery stores.

Extractor in Argentina refers to the kitchen/bathroom exhaust fan. BankNote, is that what you are looking for ?

Yes sir. Exactly.

Also called " Campana Cocina " here. Normally referred to as "Extractor" by the locals here.

Ok, we are on the same page. The very small one you see in Argentina kitchen is a joke. I have installed 3 in my apartment, 2 in bathrooms and 1 in kitchen.
They are pretty loud and somewhat powerful. loudness is OK with me, it reminds people to turn it off. Americans can leave fans on for hours, it will kill the fan in Argentina.
All the fans I got is from a store on Las Heras and then I saw stores on Ave Belgrano have many choices. The ones I have installed were about 6-8 inces in diameter, made in Argentina, one of them failed pretty soon after 6 weeks, thank god I found the same one and plug it in.
The cost was about 100-200 dollars for each fan, not bad. It takes all the steam from the bathroom and I did not need to paint the bathroom again and again.
The installation was a challenge, to get someone to create a hole, and taking a wire from the ceiling light or a separate wire is tough. Hard to find the right person.

I have had one like this since 2007.

I believe mine is a "prima".
never had the motor fail, it is vented to the outdoors, it works, and it looks good.
They dont sell them at Jumbo.
They cost more than the ones from the ferreterria.
There is a showroom down on the corner of Santa Fe and Cerrito.


But, sure, you can just hack a hole in the wall and put in a circular fan. I would recommend some kind of sheetmetal hood on the outside, then, so that rain, and vermin, dont get in. A screen would be good too. Palomas love to nest in just such a place.

This is kitchen hood, also called extractor ?

 

[Ries]

yes, kitchen hood. Mounts over cooktop, has lighting and extractor, stainless steel hood, and goes up to ceiling, or out thru wall, depending on how you mount it.
standard in US kitchens. rare here, because, of course, it costs more than just a hole in the wall with a fan in it.

I am constantly amazed at how crummy, cramped, and crude the kitchens are in quarter million dollar apartments here.
We redid our kitchen in 2007, previously it was a closet, and that was being generous. It was designed for a servant to work in, it was tiny, dark, and dirty, with a terrible stove, tiny sink, and the hot water heater hanging from the ceiling where you would bump your head on it. It had one light bulb hanging from a wire. No place to sit, no counter space, and was terrible to cook in.
I like to cook.
Now, its still tiny by US standards, but it works, its pleasant, and I can see what I am doing.
I work on houses from time to time in the USA, as a specialty contractor- I am a blacksmith and metalworker.
I am often in kitchens where the appliances alone are fifty thousand dollars, where the countertops are enough marble or granite to resurface the Obelesqo.
And those arent even "expensive" houses.
In the USA, a kitchen is a temple, a sign of your wealth and power, and a place to show off.

Me, I am happy just with enough room to put down a cutting board, and an extractor that means the whole kitchen isnt one big grease stain.

I would agree that kitchen is the center piece in a US home, unlike in some other countries, kitchen is for maid. In South East Asia, kitchen is always outside the house, nobody cares how it looks.
