Prima Cooker Hoods

Match the hood width to the width of your hob or make the hood slightly wider; most kitchens use 60cm hoods for 60cm hobs and 90cm hoods for 90cm hobs. Prima models on the page include 60cm, 70cm and 90cm options (and a few sizes like 695mm or 895mm), so you can find a near-exact fit. a 700mm gas hob works well with the 70cm Candy CGM70NX curved chimney, while a 90cm induction hob suits the Prima CGM90NX 90cm curved model.

If you want a focal point and have wall space above the hob, a chimney hood is a great choice, it's on show and available in stylish finishes such as stainless steel and black glass. Canopy (under-cabinet) hoods sit beneath wall cabinets for a more discreet look, and integrated hoods hide completely inside cabinetry for a minimalist finish, like the Prima PRCH703 70cm integrated in grey. Pick chimney for visual impact, canopy if you have cupboards to clear, and integrated if you prefer seamless cabinetry.

Stainless steel is extremely versatile and pairs well with most appliances, while black and black glass give a modern, dramatic look but can show fingerprints more readily. The range includes stainless steel and glass curved options (Candy CGM70NX and Prima CGM90NX) plus several black and black glass hoods such as Prima PRAE0038. If you have stainless appliances and want low-maintenance continuity choose stainless steel; if you want a sleek, contemporary contrast, black glass will deliver the look.

Push-button controls are the most common on these Prima hoods and are simple, reliable and affordable to operate. Slider controls give a tactile feel while touch controls look sleek and are easiest to wipe clean because they sit flush, though only a few models offer them. If you cook frequently and want quick, hygienic cleaning, the touch option is convenient; if you prefer familiar mechanics, push buttons are perfectly practical.

Curved glass chimneys (like the Prima PRCGH017 or Candy CGM70NX) create a contemporary, airy look and often give you extra headroom as you lean over the hob. Angled chimneys (Prima PRAE0036 and PRAE0038) slope away from your cooking area, reducing the chance of bumping your head while keeping a close capture area for fumes. A straight chimney is classic and compact, so choose curved or angled if you want style plus a little extra clearance around the hob.
