An integrated rangehood is designed to be an integral part of the kitchen units and is hidden away above the cooktop. Although discrete and space-saving, it does not always cover the whole cooktop area and so may not work as well as a canopy rangehood.

With a more powerful fan, bigger chimney and greater width, canopy rangehoods often have a higher airflow than integrated rangehoods. While they may be more effective at removing steam and cooking smells, they do occupy a lot of space and are often more expensive than an integrated rangehood.
