Square One: Good Home Design Starts Here

An ultra-low-profile range hood

By Debra Silber

Talk about keeping low profile! When Zephyr’s new Pisa under-cabinet range hood is closed, it appears as a simple stainless bar above the cooktop. In use, a retractable visor captures cooking gases and removes them with a 290-CFM blower (a recirculation kit is also available). Noise level ranges from 1.3-3.2 sones. This thinner-than-air hood is 30-in. wide and retails for about $600 at appliance dealers.
