What to Look For When Buying a Chimney for a 3BHK Kitchen
1. Suction Power — The Most Important Spec
For a standard 3BHK modular kitchen in India — where you cook with multiple burners, deep fry, and make tadkas regularly — you need a minimum suction power of 1,000 m³/hr. If your kitchen is open-plan or has a longer distance between hob and chimney, go with 1,200–1,500 m³/hr.
Many buyers make the mistake of going with a low-suction chimney because it’s cheaper. Within months, the kitchen walls and cabinets carry a greasy film that never quite goes away. Buy the right suction capacity the first time.
2. Size — 60cm vs 90cm
This is determined by your hob or cooktop size, not your kitchen size.
- 2-burner hob (600mm wide) → 60cm chimney
- 3-burner or 4-burner hob (750mm–900mm wide) → 90cm chimney
Most 3BHK modular kitchens in India have a 3 or 4 burner hob, which means a 90cm chimney is almost always the right choice.
3. Filter Type — Baffle or Cassette?
Baffle filters are the gold standard for Indian cooking. They force air through curved panels that separate grease from the airflow. Grease collects on the panels and can be washed off easily every 2–3 months.
Auto-clean chimneys have an oil collector that separates and stores grease automatically. Ideal for busy households — you only need to empty the oil cup roughly once a month.
4. Noise Level
Look for models that run under 65 dB on medium speed — this is the speed you’ll use most often.

Simple rule: match the chimney width to your hob width, or go one size larger. For a 3BHK modular kitchen, the 90cm is almost always the better answer.
