Baffle Filter vs Filterless Chimneys - Which is better?

We are surprised by how many times we are asked this question - which chimney is better - Baffle Filter or Filterless Chimney? And we are also surprised by how very few people know the correct answer. So here you go. The absolutely correct answer to which chimney is better - Baffle Filter or Filterless?

Well, it depends. On what you ask? It depends on the kind of oil consumption in your kitchen. If your food consumes more oil, like non-veg or maybe you have a big family and cooking quantity is high or maybe if you like food with good amounts of oil and ghee and butter, you should choose BAFFLE FILTER! But if your kitchen consumes less oil, you can consider filterless chimney. To know why, read on!

For Standard Decorative Chimneys (image below):

Reason 1: For any Chimney where the filter is in a horizontal position (from 0°-45° approx, like the chimney above), Baffle Filter Chimneys are always better than Filterless Chimneys.
The job of the filter is to block the heavy oil particles from entering the chimney and getting stuck inside it. This function is performed most efficiently by baffle filters as in baffle filters, the oil gets trapped between the double layers (curved panels) of the filter.
Note that, if the filter is completely horizontal(flat) or at 0°, as soon as the filter gets filled, oil will drip on the kitchen counter. For this reason, Ventair has specially designed 11° inclined Baffle Filters so that the angle (towards the back) makes the trapped oils directly flow into the oil container at the backside of the kitchen chimney
This is better than Filterless(Net type Filters) Chimneys because they don't have any option to trap the oil as they don't have 2 layers. This makes the oil drip on the kitchen counter if it gets accumulated a lot even if the filter is at an angle. 

Reason 2: The job of a filter even in a chimney is to filter all the oil and dirt it's level best and not let it enter the chimney. For a Filterless Chimney, since there is no effective filter mechanism, all the oil and dirt get stuck inside the chimney(that is, the motor and the blower of the chimney). This stops them from working at their full potential resulting in lesser suction by the chimney in just a few month till it is cleaned. So, you have to clean the Filterless chimney more often if you want optimum performance.
But in case of a Baffle Filter Chimney, the Filter does it's job well and helps the chimney work at its best performance, higher Suction for a longer time.

So for both reasons mentioned above, Baffle Filter Chimneys are better than Filterless Chimneys if oil consumption is high. 

For Vertical Chimneys (image below):

In case of a Vertical Chimney ( filters at angles approx 75°-90°, like the image above), Filterless are a good option. In fact, in this case the type of filter doesn't matter because the angle of the filter makes the oil directly drip into the oil container.
