Now, coming back to our list.
Ease of installation
In comparison to horizontal chimneys, vertical chimneys are more versatile in terms of installation.They require less height for installation as they are installed at 20 to 24 inches from the slab on which the gas stove is placed.
Also, unlike general autoclean chimneys the upper hood can also be removed, making more space. This results in ease of installation as duct pipe can also be easily attached..
Vertical chimneys can also be easily installed in traditional kitchens.
Suction efficiency
Almost all vertical chimneys are filterless in comparison to horizontal chimneys which come in both baffle filter and filter less.
Comparing filterless chimney in both cases.
Horizontal chimneys have greater suction area compared to vertical chimneys.
Vertical chimneys on the other hand have motor inclined at 45 degrees. This results in zero angular displacement between smoke produced and motor suction.
Motor suction area is open to directly act on smoke thus more efficiency is produced by the same suction pressure.
Thus both chimneys have their benefits considering this particular parameter.
Ease of cleaning
Vertical chimneys are at an angle of 45 degrees thus all oil and soot naturally falls to the bottom. That directly comes to the oil collector which can be easily removed and cleaned. Addition to this they have 5th gen heaters which melt the oil stuck on chimney surfaces and push it down to the oil collector.
Horizontal chimney with baffle filter - in these chimneys cleaning filters becomes difficult and many times oil drips down on the gas stove. These chimneys require regular filter cleaning.
Horizontal chimney with filterless technology- these chimneys don't require filter cleaning but oil dripping from the motor of chimneys creates a problem. This oil drips directly on the gas stove as there is no filter to stop it. They require frequent motor cleaning.
Price
Horizontal autoclean chimneys come in the price range of Rs9000/- to Rs 14000/- while vertical autoclean chimneys come in the price bracket of Rs14000/- and above.
Aesthetics (looks)
This is more of a personal choice as both the chimneys are elegant in their looks. Both chimneys have front glass options which adds to its beauty.
Filter type
Horizontal chimneys have both baffle filter and filterless options.
Vertical or angular or inclined chimneys are mostly filterless and autoclean.
Ease of use (operation)
Both the chimneys have options of touch and gesture control. Thus both are relatively easy to use.

Vertical chimney need very less cleaning in comparison to horizontal
Smoke is sucked away from the chef due to its design resulting in low sweating.
