Zephyr® – The Next Generation of Kitchen Hoods
Kitchen hoods can be bulky, adding zero-style to your cooking abilities, and use up more energy than needed. Well, if you’re looking for a change, than we have the answer!
The Modena Island is part of Zephyr’s Next Generation Europa Collection and represents a floating island crafted from steel and glass. This innovative range hood, which houses the industry’s first DC brushless motor, inhabits several sustainable qualities, such as:
- Most advanced Bloom TM HD LED light bulbs (25,000–hour lifetime) and electronic LCD controls
- Consumes 77 percent less energy, but with 30 percent more power
- Exceeds ENERGY STAR requirements
- 80 percent more efficient than other hoods
Doesn’t seem like it can get much better than that! Zephyr not only offers the perfect blend of architecture and style, but also presents a modern way of sustainability.
