Vent-a-Hood Nouveau or Zephyr Tempest II
Comments (8)Just spent another weekend cooking at our lake house, where we have a 600 cfm VAH installed. It was the first hood I purchased, under circumstances similar to yours. The dealer we used for appliances just raved about them, told us how superior they were to all the others and "that's why they are the only hood we carry." What a load. Now that I'm totally spoiled by our Modern Aire hood with remote Fantech blower, cooking with the VAH is actually unpleasant. The incredibly loud din, as deafening at the lower settings as on High (it's NOT that VAH are quiet at high speeds, they are just equally noisy at low speeds, see the real scoop on noise), the markedly inferior performance, the ugly underside (compared to the beautiful baffle work in our MA), and the depressing realization that I will soon have to take down and hand wash the nasty "squirrel cages" all make the experience disappointing. I definitely am far on the negative end of the spectrum regarding VAH, but I also keep pointing out that I'm one of the few who have personal experience with the two hoods. If you search Vent a Hood, you'll get dozens of posts. One thing you'll see is that a lot of VAH defenders have only ever had a VAH. Many even say things like "of course, it's the only hood I've ever had, so I can't really compare..." Well, I can, and do on a regular basis. If you're mainly focused on the appearance of the hoods, rather than performance, that's OK, it's one approach, but it does lead to poor performance choices. If you search Vent a Hood and Zephyr on this forum, you'll get dozens of hits. I'd keep reading....See MoreKobe Hood or Zephyr Tempest II ?
Comments (3)I bought and installed a Kobe CH122 hood for my mom's kitchen and it's pretty damn impressive performance wise. The only downside is the buttons are quite small and hard to see. One warning, during installation, be careful with hidden metal edges on Kobe. They are super sharp and would cut your fingers with ease. Good Luck!...See MoreZephyr Tempest hood with Blower?
Comments (14)Hmm - Hompro01 has a really good idea. Zepher may have an accessory that solves your problem, already made to fit, etc for less cost. So, before you are out $500, call them and google search your product and see if they have any accesories....See MoreExhaust Hood Pro Canopy Zephyr Tempest II vs. Elica Calabria vs. ?
Comments (4)Mine is not exactly what you are looking for, but could possible have the same motor? I have a Zephyr Siena Pro 48" 1200 cfm, and absolutely love it! Plenty of power, no too loud, amazing LED lights, easy to clean baffles, 5 min delay shut off function, automatic reminder to clean the baffles. I haven't found a negative in the 7 months that I have been using it (daily). I wok etc...no problems. Be sure to have a 10" duct to keep the power and noise level appropriate....See MoreBoilermaker98
