What our Experts Think

• Powerful & Efficient Ventilation
  Built with a 600 CFM blower that delivers strong ducted extraction while the patented Magic Lung filter‑less design reduces resistance and boosts effective airflow — equivalent to ~900 CFM in traditional systems. Recommended for everyday to heavy cooking tasks.

• Quiet, Comfortable Operation
  Designed to operate at around 6.5 sones, this hood keeps noise reasonable even at higher speeds, balancing performance with comfort in living spaces.

• Smart Heat Sensitivity
  SensaSource heat sensor automatically increases blower power as cooking heat rises — giving responsive ventilation that adapts to cooking intensity without manual control.

• Stylish Contemporary Design
  The multi‑layered stainless steel aesthetic with galley rail fits modern kitchens and enhances visual appeal above cooktops.

• Functional Lighting & Installation
  Dual halogen lights provide bright cooking illumination with dimming capability. Recommended mounting height is ~27″–30″ above the cooktop for optimal capture.

• Low Maintenance & Safety
  Filter‑less ventilation simplifies cleaning, and the blower’s construction includes inherent fire protection features for added safety.

• Performance Positioning
  Not ENERGY STAR rated, but ideal for buyers who want powerful, responsive ventilation with a sleek contemporary presence and lower maintenance than traditional filter‑based hoods.
