I’m new here and interested in hearing about experiences with the OMNEJD range hood.
Has anyone installed it yet? How loud is it on the lowest setting, or generally speaking?
I was actually considering a higher-quality range hood, but we really like the design, especially the storage compartment and the bars for hanging dish towels...

KnolleJupp26 Jan 2015 21:23Higher quality? This thing already costs 600€...
Since the noise level rating is on the same level as the other models, I would assume this device is "normal noise."

Are there any brand-name units that look similar to the OMNEJD or FÖLJANDE hoods?

zetterberg27 Jan 2015 07:31Exhaust air or recirculation: If I were you, I would also consider the cost of the carbon filters when deciding on recirculation, as opinions vary widely regarding what manufacturers charge for them.
Exhaust air / dB / m³
1/ 43.7 / 217
2/ 49 / 305
3/ 65.1 / 622
Recirculation / dB / m³
1/ 56.2 / 214
2/ 62.6 / 287
3/ 70.9 / 415
The exhaust air performance is specified by Ikea according to EN61591, including a 1.5 m (5 feet) hose (maximum diameter) with one 90° bend.

manutdsupporter27 Jan 2015 07:48If possible, I want to use ducted ventilation, which is not so easy with an island setup... The exhaust should also be quieter.
BOSCH DIB097A50
Noise min./max. normal setting: 43/54 dB*
Airflow rate in exhaust mode according to EN 61591:
Max. normal setting 460 m³/h (270 cfm), intensive setting 730 m³/h (430 cfm)
Noise levels according to EN 60704-3 and EN 60704-2-13 in exhaust mode:
Max. normal setting: 54 dB(A) re 1 pW (40 dB(A) re 20 µPa sound pressure)
Intensive setting: 64 dB(A) re 1 pW (50 dB(A) re 20 µPa sound pressure)
That means, based on the data, the BOSCH model is quieter, but is the difference actually noticeable?
A difference of 10 dB corresponds roughly to double the perceived loudness.

If you have an energy-saving standard, there may be restrictions on exhaust air, potentially making it impossible. You should clarify this if you haven’t done so yet.
