I have a Zephyr Range Hood that I love that is a lower model as I needed one that also did recirculating as well as vented in case I get permission from my townhouse one day to vent the range hood to the outside. Mine has carbon filters that work amazingly well and a very good filter inside. The Zephyr is quiet, beautiful, takes odors out, my carbon monoxide detector never goes off anymore when I am cooking using my GE Cafe Gas Range. I just found my model which is not powerful enough for you but it is a Zephyr and the best range hood I ever owned. Zephyr Breeze II Series AK1200S. (S is for stainless) 30" Under Cabinet Range Hood with 400 CFM Internal Blower, 3 Speed Touch Controls, 2 Incandescent Lamps and Recirculating Option

I installed a Zephyr Typhoon when I re-did the kitchen in the old house. When we built the new house, I again had a Zephyr Typhoon installed. It is quiet and does an excellent job of venting odors out of the house. I cannot say enough about the excellent customer service Zephyr provides. In the first house, the guys installing the countertop beat the h*!! out of the front of my vent hood. Zephyr promptly sent the parts that were needed and helped me find an authorized repairman to install them. In the new house, the installers threw away about half of the parts (grease cups, cages that fit over the fans, and probably a couple more things that I've suppressed). Zephyr promptly sent replacement parts. One of the cages came in warped. They promptly sent another replacement. When you call Zephyr, you talk to a real person (I think in California). There are no language barriers. Can you tell I love Zephyr? You could not give me a GE product. I have a GE Cafe stove that is a nightmare. Customer Service has also been a nightmare. I won't recount it all here. It has been posted in other threads. I know you asked about particular models and I didn't address your question. But good customer service is important to me. Hopefully others will be able to address the models you inquired about.

I have a Bluestar 30" RCS v2 and a Zephyr Napoli 36" island hood (ZNA-M90CS). The stainless steel color match is very good. To my eye, they look as if they were made from the same batch of steel and brushed with the same tools and technique. I really love my Bluestar RCS but I have mixed feelings about the Napoli. It looks really nice but it is a lot noisier than I expected. Technically, the noise volume is relatively low and to spec -- ranging from about 40dB(a) to 66dB(a) depending upon the fan speed setting. The problem is not the noise volume, but rather, the quality/pitch of the noise. It is not the low frequency sound of air rushing through the baffles. It is a higher pitch whirring motor/fan sound right at ear level.. You can easily talk over it with normal conversation, but it is quite irritating to listen to. Also, as an island hood, its flat bottom capture area it is not very effective. If I place a steam kettle with its spout directly under the center of the hood (the baffles are 33" above the burner grates), a large portion of the rising steam hits the baffles and then just rolls around and up the sides of the hood to the ceiling. There is no effective storage volume below the baffles to capture and hold the effluent long enough for the air flow to completely exhaust it into the duct. In retrospect, I would rather have an island hood with an external blower and deep recessed, angled baffles.

I discounted a Ventahood because of the recommended distance from the cooktop...way too low for me. After cabs above my peninsula and an over the range microwave for 35 years, I ddetest anything in front of my head in the kitchen.
