What our Experts Think
-
High‑Capacity Venting for Serious Kitchens
With a 1200 CFM Magic Lung® blower, this liner handles heavy cooking and professional‑style ranges by pulling cooktop air efficiently through centrifugal filtration — eliminating traditional mesh or baffle filters for stronger performance.
-
Whispered Power & Smart Response
Engineered to be among the quietest at all speeds in its class, it reduces noise without sacrificing suction. SensaSource® heat sensing automatically increases airflow as cooking heat rises.
-
Durability & Safety Built‑In
The filter‑less, fire‑safe design simplifies maintenance and adds safety by preventing flame entry into ductwork — a plus for high‑heat cooking environments.
-
Lighting & User Friendliness
Comes pre‑assembled and pre‑wired with LED lighting to brighten the cooktop and smooth installation into a custom decorative hood.
-
Installation Flexibility
Recommended mounting heights (typically 24″–30″ above the cooktop) and standard 10″–12″ duct compatibility help ensure optimal capture and airflow.
-
Performance Positioning
While not ENERGY STAR rated, this model excels where powerful extraction, relatively quiet operation, and easy upkeep are priorities for dedicated cooks and custom kitchen designs.
