Kitchen hoods phased out for pricier alternatives — regulations complicate the switch

Growing numbers of Polish homeowners are ditching traditional kitchen hoods in favour of alternatives priced between roughly 1,600 and 15,000 zloty. Regulations govern the ventilation duct rather than the appliance itself, which means some trendy alternatives may not be legally compliant depending on the building's ventilation setup. Buyers are advised to check their duct type before investing.
