This blog explains why our range hoods are superior to most other kitchen hoods in the market:
1. We use the highest grade of stainless steel and other metals such as copper for all of our range hoods
1. Stainless steel comes in various grades - we use 304 which will not develop rust streaks over time - these are thin lines of rust that push through because there is a high percentage of iron in the stainless steel
2. A simple test to check if your range hood is premium stainless or has a high iron content is to place a magnet on the hood - if it sticks then it is not 304
2. Our copper range hoods for instance are made from solid copper - we do not use a thin sheet of copper applied over steel
3. Most of our range hoods are supplied with 304 series dishwasher safe baffle filters - these unlike typical aluminum mesh filters are near indestructible and will never require replacing 1. Baffle filters also do a far better job of capturing contaminants at higher speed
2. These filters are typically quieter than mesh filters and will not choke under excessive smoke and steam conditions.
4. We offer the option of mesh filters and even these are made from 304 stainless steel casing that covers the entire surface of the filter. 5. During the construction of the hood we use whats called double wall construction - this ensures that the hood body is rigid and will not flex or vibrate which contributes to a noisy hood fan
6. The lighting systems on the range hoods are 120v halogen floods as distinct from low voltage lighting - the use of low voltage lighting introduces a transformer into the electrics which typical stay connected 24/7 resulting in a high failure rate of these transformers 7. The blower and lighting controls are solid state rheostat which enables the user to have very precise control of the setting on both the blower and lights. This means that the lights and blower can be "dialed" up to the exact intensity required - there is no plastic or switching parts that can fail or become encrusted with grease. The knobs on these controls are also solid metal.
8. Every hood is made by hand - we do not use a robotic production line as we focus our attention on the finished product and the desired look of the hood
9. The blowers are top of the line and considered one of the quietest and most reliable in the world 10. We do not compromise quality - our focus is on making the best range hood from top of the line materials and we therefore do not attempt to compete on price
Hopefully the above provides a brief insight into why our hoods rank as one of the best manufactured range hoods in the world.
