Hood: power req'd for pro-style range
Comments (4)Kobe is a traditional baffle style hood - VAH uses their own baffleless design. Many fans of VAH on this forum but a number of people complain about how difficult it is to clean and peeling finish. Search on the forum for various opinions....See MorePro style range that can use microhood for venting
Comments (3)I have no idea why the salesman would tell you that except to sell you a Dacor :-). The issue is that a microhood generaaly has 300 CFMs or less and not a great capture area. Depending on what you cook you're generally better off with 600 CFMs for a 30" range. Can you live with a microhood over your Wolf - probably but you'd really be better off putting in a real hood regardless of what brand of range you buy....See Moreneed help finding a kitchen vent hood for pro range
Comments (5)We used a Tornado II by Zephyr. It's an insert that we built a hood around to fit my situation. I saved quite a bit of money by buying my insert directly from an ebay dealer that I bought almost all of my appliances from. (saving-u-money) is his eBay handle. I can provide more info if you want to compare prices. Here's a photo of my hood. Though not completed, you can see how a liner works. You can also download a PDF info from Zephyr that will give you a drawing, schematic, and other info that will show you exactly what you will need to do this. I love my hood. The photo online shows that they've redesigned it a bit. Mine actually looks like the Tornado III, but I know it was a II with 1,000 CFM. FWIW, I love my hood. It's a powerhouse and doesn't blow you out of the water. It's a solid whooshing sound, not whiney and tinney. My brother lives next door about 300' away. (We both have 1.5 acres.) He has called me before to ask, "When's dinner?" because he can smell what I'm cooking. My kitchen vent is away from his house, too. When I've told him that I'm not grilling and I'm cooking inside and not outside, he can't believe it. It has to be this powerful hood.

Comments (14)Whatever you vent is going to be where the vent lets out. Therefore, the moisture and smells are all going out that hole. My house was built without any duct at all (along with some other weirdnesses). I was lucky that I could vent onto a side yard where the services and meters are. It is also the only outdoors path into the back yard. When the hood is on, you walk through a miasma of housebreath. The vent points down, which is the right thing so that you're not hit in the face with it. Not something you want on a patio or other place you're trying to enjoy, nor by a window through which it's going to come right back into the house. I don't know if it can also leave fog or even particulates on the window glass. Hopefully the filters and gravity would take care of the latter, but Kas is the physics expert, not me. Keep in mind that architects often aren't concerned with function. Wright's roofs leak because of poor functional design in his high art design. Meier designed the Getty Center with way too few restrooms, and by the time they figured it out, it would have cost too much to fix, so they finished building then remodeled. Architects are artists first and foremost, and mostly want to do what looks good, which is why they often go for what will minimally work, but looks cool, rather than using maximal function as a constraint and working that into the design (which is what Deusenberg was famous for--engineering first and a gorgeous coach on top of it)....See More- PRO
