60cm vs 90cm Kitchen Chimneys: Which One Should You Choose for India?

Cooking in Indian kitchens means using spices, oil, and doing a lot of frying. That’s what makes our food tasty—but it also fills the kitchen with smoke and strong smells. That’s why having a chimney in your kitchen is so important. A chimney helps suck out the smoke, oil, and smell, so your kitchen stays clean and fresh.

KAFF makes powerful and stylish chimneys that fit different types of homes. In this guide, we’ll help you figure out which chimney size—60cm or 90cm—is right for your kitchen.

What Does Chimney Size Mean?

When we say chimney size, we’re talking about the width of the chimney. In Indian homes, the most common chimney sizes are 60cm and 90cm. Here’s what that means:

• 60cm Chimneys are best for smaller kitchens. If your stove has 2 or 3 burners, this is a good fit.
• 90cm Chimneys are better for larger kitchens. If you use 3 to 5 burners and cook more often, this size will work better.

The chimney should be the same width—or a little wider—than your stove. This helps it catch all the smoke and grease. If your chimney is too small, it won’t work as well.

What to Think About Before You Choose

Choosing the right chimney for kitchen use isn’t just about size. Let’s look at some simple things to think about:

1. How Much You Cook

• If you cook often, especially oily or spicy foods, a 90cm chimney gives you better suction power.
• If you don’t cook much or make simple meals, a 60cm chimney should be fine.

2. Your Kitchen Layout

• In a closed kitchen, smoke gets trapped. A wider auto clean chimney like 90cm can clear the air faster.
• In open kitchens, smoke can spread to the living or dining room. A larger chimney helps stop that from happening.

3. Stove Size

Your chimney size should match your stove:

• Use 60cm chimneys for stoves with 2–3 burners.
• Use 90cm chimneys for stoves with 3–5 burners.

4. Wall Space

• If you have a small kitchen or limited wall space, go for the 60cm.
• If you have lots of space, the 90cm chimney will fit in well and add a stylish touch.

5. Kitchen Style

• A chimney should not only work well but also look good. Make sure it matches your cabinets, backsplash, and overall kitchen design.

6. Easy Cleaning

• KAFF’s auto clean chimneys are easy to maintain. They use heat or spinning tech to clean themselves. This saves time and keeps your chimney working well.

7. Style + Performance

• KAFF chimneys come with touch panels, motion sensors, LED lights, and sleek black finishes. They’re powerful and pretty!

So if you’re wondering which chimney is best for Indian kitchen needs, think about your cooking habits, kitchen space, and style. KAFF has an option for every type of kitchen.

A 60cm chimney is great if:

• You live in an apartment or small home.
• Your stove has only 2 or 3 burners.
• You mostly cook light meals.
