10 Best Kitchen Chimneys Under 15000 in India 2023

1) Faber HOOD ACE PRO HC PB BK 60 Kitchen Chimney

Best Overall Chimney

SPECIFICATIONS

When you are looking for a product within a certain range of price, then it becomes hard to find the perfect one. You can not rely on the brand advertisement and just pick up the product. So I have reviewed some of the best chimneys that are currently selling for under Rs. 15,000 in India.

Faber 60 cm 1100 m³/hr Auto-Clean Chimney is our first and so far the best chimney available under Rs. 15,000 in the market. It has some great features that I will share below and there are some good things that I like about it during the testing.

What do I like about it?

This wall-mounted chimney has a curved glass design and it looks amazing in the kitchen. The suction capacity of this unit is 1100 cubic meters per hour which are higher than most of the other chimneys available in this price range.

It has 2 LED lamps that help in better lighting while cooking. These are energy-saving lamps and they have a longer lifespan.

The unit also comes with an auto-clean function that helps in keeping the chimney clean. The auto-clean option is very helpful as it saves you from the hassle of cleaning it manually.

The filterless technology makes sure that there is no need to replace the filters and you do not have to worry about the maintenance cost.

The auto-clean feature is a must-have for Indian kitchens. Because we cook things like curry, which leaves a lot of oil and smoke in the kitchen. So an auto-clean chimney is very important to keep the kitchen clean and fresh.

The two-speed fan ensures that if the smoke is high and you need more suction, you can use the high-speed mode. And when the smoke is less, you can use the low-speed mode to save energy.

Overall, I am very happy with this product and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly kitchen chimney.

What I don’t like about it?

The installation service is poor and you have to wait for many days. However, the installation is good and the customer team is cooperative as well. Other than that, there are not so many drawbacks that I noticed during my review.

Verdict

The features are great in this price range. Also, the suction capacity is good and you can use it if you have a large kitchen. The only drawback is the installation service.

2) Hindware Nadia C100220 Chimney

High-Quality Chimney

SPECIFICATIONS

Hindware introduced their sub-brand, Nadia. This name comes with the meaning “hope”. The company has launched various models under this name and one of the most demanding models is Nadia 60 cm 1200 m³/hr Filterless Auto-Clean Kitchen Chimney.

Before this model, Hindware had introduced a similar product but with a little less suction power. The suction power of this model is 1200m3/hr and it also has an auto-clean feature. This kitchen chimney is suitable for medium to large-sized kitchens. It has a touch control panel that makes it easy to operate. The design of this Hindware Nadia is elegant and would complement your kitchen décor.

What do I like about it?

The Thermal Auto Clean feature is the first thing that I like and because it saves a lot of time. I don’t have to clean it manually every week. The suction power is also good and it can easily remove the smoke and odor from my kitchen. The touch control panel is another feature that makes this product user-friendly.

During weekends, when there is a family getting together, the cooking time increases and so does the time for which the kitchen will be full of smoke. This kitchen chimney can easily handle such a situation and provides sufficient suction.

The only thing that I think Hindware could have done better is to provide more color options. As of now, it is available in only two colors – black and white.

Inside the chimney, the motor is located near the blower assembly as usually, chimneys do have. But Nadia has a screen between them to minimize the noise and also increase the protection.

Just wave your hand in front of the sensor and the LED light will turn on. It is that simple to operate. The LED light is bright and it evenly illuminates the entire cooktop.

What I don’t like about it?

I am expecting this chimney to come with more colors but there are only two colors. However, the functionality is good overall.

Verdict

Nadia is a good model from Hindware and it has all the premium features that you are looking for. The build quality is superb and the company is also providing a 5-year warranty on the motor. So if you have a big kitchen and you are a regular smoky cooker then go for it.

3) Whirlpool CG 601 HAC HOOD Kitchen Chimney

Affordable Price

SPECIFICATIONS

Whirlpool 60 cm 1100 m³/HR is an auto-clean-based chimney that will need no interface from your end for its cleaning. It features a powerful suction capacity of 1100m3/hr that can take away all the smoke, odor, and grease efficiently from your kitchen. The design is such that it can work in corner installation as well.

If you are familiar with home appliances brands then you must know the reputation of Whirlpool in the Indian market. The brand is known for its quality products and this product is no different. It is one of the best kitchen chimneys that you can buy without any second thoughts.

What do I like about it?

My kitchen has a big space so I always use a chimney that has at least suction power above 1000 m³/HR. However, in India, the average used and selling chimney size is 60 cm and at that size, this product provides a suction power of 1100m3/hr which is quite good. I like the design too, it’s sleek and slim with a curved glass look that goes well with my kitchen interior.

The product also features an auto-clean function which is great because I don’t have to get my hands dirty to clean the chimney.

This model comes in both 60 and 90-cm sizes. So this is a good option for you that you can choose the same model in two different sizes.

Another thing that I like is the warranty card where I read the 10 years of warranty for the motor. This is a long time and you can imagine if they are offering such a long time warranty then the product quality must be good.

My experience with this product is really good and I have been using it for the past 6 months without any problem.

If you have a big kitchen and want a good chimney with all the features then go for it without any second thoughts.

What I don’t like about it?

However this chimney can suck all the smoke from every corner of the kitchen, it creates loud noise in order to create that level of suction power. If you are a person who has no issues with noise then this is not a problem for you. Cleaning the chimney is a bit difficult as you need to remove the oil collector and clean it with water and dishwashing liquid.

Verdict

I would recommend this product to those who are looking for an affordable and good-quality chimney for their kitchen.

4) Elica Escg BF 60 NERO Chimney

Under Rs. 10,000

SPECIFICATIONS

Elica 60 cm 1100 m3/HR Chimney is designed with Baffle Filter. It has an efficient suction capacity of 1100m3/hr. Elica kitchen chimney is suitable for small to medium-sized kitchens with a volume of less than 200 cubic meters.

The design is sleek and compact. The Elica 60 cm 1100 m3/HR Chimney can be easily installed in a kitchen with a free space of just 60×60 cm.

What do I like about it?

There are many chimneys in the market that claim their suction capacity is able to catch every fume from all over the kitchen but in reality, they suck.

That’s the reason that I do not rely on the manufacturer’s labeled features and benefits and I try things on my own.

So when I was testing this unit, I fired up some cotton on the stove and placed it strategically in different areas of my kitchen, including near the exhaust.

I was really amazed that this Elica 60 cm 1100 m3/HR Chimney was able to suck every single smoke coming out from the cotton burning on the stove. From my test, I could rate its suction capacity as A+.

The other area where this Elica Chimney shines is the noise level.

During my test, I placed my ear near the exhaust of this chimney and it was running at its highest speed. I could not hear any annoying and loud sounds coming from it. So I would say that the noise level of this Elica Chimney is also A+.

What I don’t like about it?

The only thing I dislike about this Elica Chimney is the price. It is a bit pricey, but it is still worth the money considering its good suction power and low noise level.

Verdict

Elica 60 cm 1100 m3/HR Chimney is a good choice if you are looking for a quality chimney with good suction power and low noise level. It is a bit pricey but overall, it is still worth the money.

5) Faber HOOD ORIENT Xpress IND HC SC EBK 60

Perfect Chimney form Fabor

SPECIFICATIONS

We have another Faber chimney on our list. This is a Faber 60 cm 1200 m³/hr chimney that has wall mount design and glass finishing. The auto-clean feature ensures that the chimney is cleaned automatically and doesn’t require much maintenance. This kitchen appliance has a great suction capacity of 1200 cubic meters per hour. The stainless steel baffle filters are dishwasher safe and can be removed easily for cleaning.

This chimney is best for kitchens that have a lot of smoke and need frequent cleaning. The wall mount design makes it easy to install and doesn’t take up much space in the kitchen. The chimney is also very stylish and will complement the décor of your kitchen.

What do I like about it?

Let’s talk about the build quality first. It is built with high-quality materials that make it durable and long-lasting. The gloss finish gives it a premium look and feel.

The wattage of this unit is 180 kilowatt which means it can save energy efficiently. This model has a previous model that was HOOD ORIENT XPRESS HC SC BK 60. As compared to its predecessor, this unit has more suction capacity and is more powerful.

The chimney has baffle filters that are dishwasher safe. These filters can be removed easily for cleaning. The chimney’s automated auto-clean feature means that it is thoroughly cleaned automatically and does not have to be maintained frequently.

The heat auto clean feature also impressed me. These features mean that when you are cooking something, this unit uses that heat and automatically cleans itself. So, it means you don’t have to do the tedious task of manual cleaning.

The suction capacity is also very powerful at 1200 cubic meters per hour. This is one of the best suction capacities in the market and ensures that all the smoke and fumes are removed quickly from your kitchen.

This unit is also quite affordable at Rs. 13.390. It is a great value for money product and is one of the best kitchen chimneys under 15000.

What I don’t like about it?

After-sale service is not so good. They often take a long time to respond to customer queries and complaints.

The design could have been better. The glass finish is good but the overall design looks a bit dated.

Verdict

If you want an affordable chimney with advanced-level features then go for it. But, if you are looking for something more stylish than you may want to look elsewhere.

6) Alstorm Magnetic Black, M-90 Hydraulic Chimney

Hydraulic Based Chimney

SPECIFICATIONS

When it comes to kitchen chimneys, how can you forget Alstorm. They are the leading brand and their products are just outstanding. They have started to introduce their filterless auto-clean technology and it’s just awesome. This particular model from Alstorm is a 90 cm wide 1400 m3/hr filter-less auto-clean chimney.

According to Indian kitchens, the perfect size for a chimney is 1200 to 1500 cubic meters per hour and this one just fits the bill. The suction power of this product is simply amazing and it can suck all the smoke and smell from your kitchen in no time.

What I don’t like about it?

First of all, this is a mid-range chimney that requires no more than INR 15,000. So, it’s quite affordable.

With that affordable price tag, they are offering all the features that a mid-range chimney does offer. You are offering curved glass, stainless steel body, touch control panel, auto-clean feature, and whatnot. So, I don’t think there’s anything to complain about this product.

The only thing that I would like to see in future models is the inclusion of wireless remote control. Other than that, this is one of the best kitchen chimneys that you can get.

But there is another feature that you should use. That is the gesture control system. In this system, you just need to wave your hand right or left in front of the chimney and the speed will increase and decrease respectively.

It comes with a 90 cm hood size so it is best for 3 to 5 burner stoves. It is available in both wall-mounted and island versions.

Did I mention the hydraulic damper? It is a very important feature and not many chimneys in this price range offer it.

What I don’t like about it?

I don’t like customer support at all. The customer support takes months to respond and the team is also not cooperative at all. If you can manage installation on your own then this is good for you.

Verdict

If you are looking for the best kitchen chimney under fifteen thousand then this is the one that you should go for. It comes with all the features that a mid-range chimney does offer and it doesn’t cost a lot as well.

So, go ahead and buy it without any hesitation.

7) Faber HOOD EVEREST SC TC HC BK 90

For High Suction Power

SPECIFICATIONS

I can not ignore the qualities of Faber when I am writing about the kitchen chimneys. Faber has captured almost 60% of the market in India. This product from Faber is a wall-mounted chimney. The suction capacity of this product is 1200 cubic per hour. The hood size of the chimney is 90 cm which is suitable for most kitchen sizes in India.

The 90 cm hood size is ideal for kitchens that have 2 to 4 burner cooktops. The most attractive feature of this product is the auto-clean technology. This chimney has a special oil collector which collects all the oil and grease particles. So, you don’t have to clean it.

What I don’t like about it?

During my suction testing, I put a piece of paper under the hood and turned on the chimney at full speed. The paper started flying all around the kitchen. But the chimney did a great job and it sucked all the smoke and ashes from the kitchen.

The noise level of this product is 58 dB which is quite high. But I think it is normal for a chimney with such a high suction power.

Heat cleaning feature is amazing. It uses the usual cooking heat, and it starts to remove oil particles. So you don’t even need to worry about it because “more you cook more it will be clean”.

If you are looking for a kitchen chimney with all the features and great suction power then go for it without any doubt.

To get started with chimneys, you can use two ways. One is a touch panel where you can just push the start button and let this vacuum do its work. Or you can use gesture control sensors. You can raise your hand and move it forward and the chimney will start automatically.

What I don’t like about it?

With the 1200 cubic meters per hour of suction power, the motor is so noisy and if you run the chimney at its full speed then you are going to feel that noise for sure.

Verdict

In my opinion, you can go with this chimney if you are good with the noise level. Otherwise, there are other options on this list that you can choose from.

8) GLEN ‎CH60CTACBL60FL Kitchen Chimney

For Large Kitchens

SPECIFICATIONS

If you have a budget of less than 15,000 INR then Glen CH60CTACBL60FL is the way where you should go.

GLEN appliances are known for their quality, durability, and innovative design. The company has been making appliances for over 50 years, and its products are sold in over 70 countries around the world. GLEN appliances are designed to make life easier for busy families.

Their dishwashers, washing machines, and dryers are all equipped with advanced features that make laundry day a breeze. And their ovens and cooktops offer a variety of cooking modes that make it easy to prepare delicious meals.

What do I like about it?

This is a 60 cm hood size chimney that is perfect for 2 to 4 burner cooktops. The suction power of this model is good for small to medium-sized kitchens. But if you have a large kitchen, then you might want to consider a model with higher suction power like Alestorm Magnetic.

It uses the same filter-less technology that Faber is using in their Star line of hoods. The big advantage is that you will save money on replacement filters over the years.

The touch controls are very easy to use. You can operate all the functions of this unit with a simple touch of your finger.

However, if you want to use this chimney in a bigger kitchen then you can choose the 90 cm hood size of this model.

The stainless steel is tough and scratch-proof. For testing, I tried to scratch it with a medium sharp key, but it did not leave scratch marks. However, If you use a sharp knife then there will be some marks on the surface.

What I don’t like about it?

The other thing I don’t like about this model is that it doesn’t come with an oil collector. So, if you cook oily foods then you will have to clean the filters more often.

The installation process is a bit complicated and you might need to hire a professional for it.

Verdict

If you are looking for good quality and affordable hood then Glen CH60CTACBL60FL is the way to go. It has good suction power, and touch controls and is very easy to clean. However, it doesn’t come with an oil collector which means you will have to clean the filters manually.

9) Faber HOOD ORIENT XPRESS HC SC BK 90

For Medium to Large Kitchens

SPECIFICATIONS

Faber HOOD ORIENT XPRESS HC SC BK 90 is the latest addition to the Indian chimney market and has been launched keeping the modern Indian kitchen in mind. It is a wall-mounted chimney with a suction capacity of 1200 cubic meters per hour.

Faber has launched another 90 cm hood size chimney last year but this latest model has many unique features that previous models lack.

If you have a large kitchen where you have 4 to 5 burner stoves, then this chimney is for you.

Faber HOOD ORIENT XPRESS is a mid-range chimney which means it is not the premium chimney from Faber. But Faber has installed all the premium-level features in this chimney.

So let’s check what I like about this unit.

What do I like about it?

We have already tested the above-listed chimneys with a suction power of 1200 cubic per hour. And most of them did a great job with this level of suction power. However, Faber has the same suction capacity and it did the same great job.

Despite the fact that it is not a premium-level chimney, it has filterless technology (Baffle Filter vs Filterless Chimneys) that is really impressive. The company has used stainless steel mesh filters to trap the oil and other residues.

So you don’t need to clean or replace the filter every month. The good thing is that it comes with an auto-clean feature too. means you don’t even have to worry about cleaning it. It will automatically get cleaned after a certain interval of time.

However, there is gesture control as well. So you can also use your hand gestures to push the speed up or down.

The design of the chimney is really impressive. It has a black finish and will go well with your modular kitchen.

The unit is not too loud as it makes only 58 dB noise. So you can easily have a conversation while cooking without any problem.

It also comes with 2 LED lamps that are placed strategically to provide good illumination in your cooking area.

The oil collector of the chimney is also easy to clean. You can easily remove it and wash it with soap water.

What I do not like about it?

Faber HOOD ORIENT XPRESS HC SC BK 90 is a great chimney with many features. However, there are a few things that I don’t like about it.

The exhaust pipe in the packing is made up of plastic. And the installation is not free as well.

Verdict

In my opinion, you should go with this chimney if you have a tight budget and you have a large kitchen to make it clean and free from smoky clouds.

10) Elica WDFL 606 HAC MS NERO Auto Clean Chimney

For Auto Clean Lovers

SPECIFICATIONS

Finally, we have the last chimney on our list which is Elica WDFL 606 HAC MS NERO. This is a 60 cm hood size chimney that would be ideal for a kitchen that has a 4-5 burner cooktop. This model from Elica comes with 1200 cubic per hour of suction power which would be good enough for most of the homes in India.

What do I like about it?

My testing results were quite good and I am satisfied with the performance of this chimney. I tried to clean the kitchen after cooking some oily and spicy food and it worked quite well in removing all the smoke and odor from the kitchen. I am also impressed with how silent this chimney is while operating at high suction power.

Even though this model comes with push-button controls, I would have still preferred touch controls like other models in this list. Apart from that, I am quite happy with the overall performance of this chimney and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good Kitchen Chimney.

Auto heat cleaning is a savior for women like me who don’t have time to clean the chimney every now and then.

This is one of the best features that you will find in a Kitchen Chimney these days. Earlier we used to manually clean the chimneys after a few months of usage but with the auto-clean feature, you don’t have to worry about it. The chimney has a self-cleaning mechanism that will clean the chimneys after a few weeks of usage.

What I do not like about it?

The weight of this unit is a bit bulky which makes it hard to install it manually. However, the installation team is also very slow and they come whenever they want. I don’t like customer support.

Verdict

This is a good Kitchen Chimney that comes with some good features. However, customer support could be better. If you are looking for a good Kitchen Chimney under budget, then this is a good option for you.
