My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need hood insert recommendation with ext blower please

13 years ago

Hi all,
i have perused this site for recommendations for hood for my Blue Star 36inch 6 burner range. We will have an external blower out to rooftop and makeup air, etc.. We want 1200 cfm but ok with less.

Not quite sure I want to do Ventahood brand because i like baffles and easy cleanup with those styles.

Should i do Zephyr Tornado II ? 1000 cfm and good price
OR
BEST brand
OR any other worth considering?

thanks!
