A 2 extractor is a kitchen ventilation appliance featuring two extraction motors or two fan units, designed to remove smoke, steam, odours and airborne grease from cooking areas more efficiently than a single‑motor rangehood. In simple terms, it’s a powerful dual‑fan kitchen extractor that helps maintain clean air, reduces lingering cooking smells, and protects your kitchen surfaces from grime buildup. The main reason Australians love a 2 extractor is its superior extraction power, making it ideal for large kitchens, busy households, or open-plan spaces where cooking vapours can spread quickly.
Here’s why it matters: a dual extractor not only keeps kitchens fresher but also improves air quality, prevents smoke alarms from triggering unnecessarily, and contributes to a cleaner, more hygienic home environment.
Australians have access to a wide variety of 2 extractor designs, ranging from sleek modern wall-mounted units to island‑style overhead hoods:
Fixed to the wall above the cooktop, these units combine style and functionality. They often feature dual fans for powerful airflow and modern LED lighting.
Suspended from the ceiling over an island cooktop, island 2 extractors allow for 360-degree airflow and add a premium, contemporary feel to open-plan kitchens.
Compact yet powerful, these fit beneath kitchen cabinets, delivering dual extraction without taking up extra space. Perfect for small to medium kitchens.
Integrated into the ceiling or behind the cooktop, these discreet systems provide dual extraction without cluttering the kitchen aesthetic, ideal for minimalist designs.
Ducted dual extractors expel air outside, offering maximum efficiency.
Recirculating dual extractors filter air through charcoal or HEPA filters and return it to the kitchen, suitable for apartments or kitchens where external venting isn’t possible.
Modern 2 extractors often feature touch panels, remote controls, and multiple fan speeds for precise airflow control.
Selecting the right 2 extractor depends on kitchen size, cooktop type, and extraction needs.
Ensure the extractor fits the width of your cooktop — typically 60cm, 90cm or 120cm — and that ceiling height or cabinet placement allows proper installation.
Frequent frying, wok cooking or BBQ indoors benefits from higher extraction rates and dual fans.
Look at airflow capacity (measured in m³/h) — a dual extractor usually offers up to 1,000 m³/h or more for heavy-duty kitchens.
Dual motors can be louder; check decibel ratings and features like silent mode or low-speed settings to suit household comfort.
Decide whether a ducted system (venting outside) or recirculating system (internal filtration) suits your kitchen layout and building regulations.
Stainless steel, brushed aluminium, or tempered glass provide both durability and visual appeal. Match finishes to kitchen appliances and cabinetry.
LED lighting, heat sensors, auto-shutoff, timer functions, and touch controls enhance usability and modernity.
Two fans remove smoke, steam and odours more effectively, keeping air fresh during heavy cooking sessions.
Reduces grease accumulation on walls, cabinetry and appliances, making cleaning easier.
Dual extraction is perfect for open-plan living spaces or large kitchens, where a single fan may not be sufficient.
Cooking smells, especially from fish, curries or fried foods, dissipate quickly.
Many 2 extractors serve as decorative centrepieces, blending seamlessly with modern interiors.
Some models use variable fan speeds and LED lighting to minimise electricity use while maintaining performance.
