00:00If your extractor hood filter looks like a grease brick, stick around, I found 5 options under 36 bucks that
00:05actually fix that, and one of them costs less than a coffee.
00:09This is the best extractor hood filter under 36 dollar list, no fluff.
00:14First up, this aluminium grease filter set, 2426.
00:19The point here is the sizing, you get the 516x166 and 516x186mm fit in one listing, so you're not guessing
00:28which one your hood takes.
00:30Aluminium means you pull it out, soak it, put it back, done.
00:34It's the priciest pick at 4.1 stars and nearly 5,000 sold, so read the size chart before you
00:40hit buy, but if it matches your hood, it's a straight replacement and you never buy another one.
00:45Then there's the disposable oil filter paper, $4.76 for 5 or 10 meters, and honestly this is the sleeper
00:52hit.
00:534.9 stars out of nearly 5,000 buyers, that's the best rating on this whole list.
00:58You cut it to size, lay it behind the existing mesh, and when it's filthy you peel it off and
01:03bin it.
01:05No scrubbing, no degreaser, no sink full of grey water.
01:09For under 5 bucks, it's the cheapest way to stop grease ever reaching your metal filter in the first place.
01:15Next, a two-pack of metal mesh filters, 320x260mm, 1693.
01:21You get two, so you swap one in while the other soaks, which sounds small until you're cooking dinner and
01:26realize your only filter is in a bucket.
01:29The rigid mesh holds its shape far better than the floppy stuff, it's dishwasher-friendly, and at 4.3 stars
01:35with over 4,000 sold, it's a solid, boring, buy-at-once kind of purchase.
01:40If your hood takes this size, this is the practical pick.
01:44Fourth is the universal non-woven oil absorption paper with the sticker backing, 773.
01:50This is for anyone who does not want to measure anything or take the hood apart, peel, stick, forget it.
01:56It traps the oil before it cakes onto your mesh, and the adhesive keeps it flat so it doesn't sag
02:01or flap about while the fan is running.
02:034.6 stars, over 4,000 sold, and it costs less than a takeaway.
02:09Genuinely the easiest install on this list.
02:12Last one, activated carbon foam, 60x50x3mm, $4.83
02:18This does a different job, it's the odor layer.
02:22Grease filters catch fat, carbon catches smells, and this is the bit most people forget to replace.
02:28You cut it to fit your hood with scissors, drop it in, and suddenly your kitchen stops smelling like last
02:33night's fish.
02:344.4 stars, over 4,000 sold, under $5.
02:39Sheep fix, big difference.
02:42Links for all five are in the description below, cheapest first.
02:46Grab one, save yourself the scrubbing, and if this helped, hit like and subscribe, I'll keep digging out the deals
02:52that are actually worth your money.
