Extracts of the future: what awaits us in 10 years?

When it comes to the kitchen appliances of the future, robot cooks and smart ovens are most often imagined. But the extractor also plays an important role in the kitchen space. It is no longer just a noisy device for removing odors. Today it is part of design, an assistant in creating comfort and even an element of a smart home. But what will happen to the extractors in 10 years? Let's look into the future and imagine a little, and some of this is already part of our reality.

‍

‍1. Quietness will become the norm

Noise reduction technologies, which previously only expensive headphones could boast of, are increasingly being introduced into household appliances. The hoods of the future will operate almost silently even at maximum power. And this is not a marketing move, but a real necessity, as kitchens are increasingly becoming part of the open space.

2. Artificial intelligence and air quality sensors

The hoods will learn how to independently determine the level of air pollution, distinguish odors and automatically adjust the power. You will not need to turn on the appliance — it will activate itself as soon as you start cooking. Moreover, it will tell you when to ventilate the room or replace the filter by sending you a notification to your smartphone.

3. Integration into the smart home system

Already, hoods can be connected to systems like Google Home or Yandex.Alice. In the future, voice or smartphone control will become a basic feature. The hood will also be able to interact with the hob: turn on and change the mode depending on the number of burners you use.

4. Energy efficiency and environmental care

Every year, more and more attention is paid to energy saving and environmental friendliness. The new models will consume a minimum of electricity, use recyclable materials and even purify the air not only from odors, but also from allergens, bacteria and viruses.

5. Minimalism and personalization

The design of the future is restraint, adaptability and individuality. The hoods will be invisible or vice versa — they will become art objects. Color, shape, material — you can choose everything for the interior or even change the panels, like a phone case.

6. Self-service and remote diagnostics

No one wants to read the instructions or call the service. Future hoods will tell you what they need. Through the app, the user will receive a reminder to clean the filter or a signal about a malfunction. And in case of a problem, the technician will be able to conduct an initial diagnosis remotely. Or there will be a direct contact with the manufacturer, who will send the technicians themselves to your home, after informing you about the time to diagnose your hood

Ten years ago, the extractor was just a hood. Today it is an element of style, comfort and health care. And she'll be even smarter tomorrow.
