Far from acceptable suction

8 years ago

We just had the 36” cattura installed behind a Viking cooktop on our cooking island. Pared the telescopic downdraft with 1100 CFM in-line blower from Best. Changed the ducting to 10” all the way as recommended by the manufacturer. We chose the rear venting option on the downdraft. After spending nearly $4000 for the downdraft, blower and installation I must say that as good as it looks, the performance is anything but. It doesn’t capture even half the smoke. My original Jenair style cooktop performed much better and it was fraction of the cost. Totally disappointed. What am I missing?
