CDA vs Rangemaster Cooker Hoods

CDA and Rangemaster cover similar kitchen styles at different price points. CDA's range runs from £98 for the EIN60SI to £219 for the EVA60BL 600mm chimney. Rangemaster starts at £309 with the LEIHDC90BB 898mm chimney, and the CLAHDC90BC 900mm classic chimney costs £399. The RMHDT90SS 900mm chimney is the top model at £549, with the CLAHDC110BC 1100mm classic hood at £425 covering wider cookers.

Rangemaster's models all include built-in lights, and the CLAHDC90BC adds a charcoal filter for recirculation. The LEIHDC90BB is rated at 65dB and offers three speeds, while the RMHDT90SS has variable speed settings. The brand also supplies stainless, black glass and matched finishes. CDA's EVA60BL offers touch controls and 330m³/hr extraction, while the ECP62SS adds push-button control, a 58dB rating and a dishwasher-washable aluminium grease filter. The CLAHDC110BC adds an 1100mm width and a built-in light at £425, a useful middle-price option for wide cookers.

CDA suits a first kitchen or rental where a basic chimney or integrated hood does the job. Rangemaster suits a homeowner who is matching a freestanding range, since its hoods run to 900mm and 1100mm to sit above wider cookers. The CLAHDC110BC is the widest option in either range, which suits a larger cooker. Buyers with a Rangemaster cooker can also pick a matching finish to keep the kitchen uniform. A 900mm hood at £309 is a sensible budget choice for a household with a larger range cooker, without paying for the top-end RMHDT90SS.

Bottom line: choose CDA if you want to spend under £220 and a 600mm hood suits your hob. Choose Rangemaster if you have a wider cooker and want a 900mm or 1100mm classic hood, budgeting from £309 to £549.
