Zephyr Pyramid ZPY-E30S Kitchen Hood

Pros: Gorgeous styling, good airflow, bright lighting

Cons: Mounting snafu (see text)

Cons: Installation, controls, no timer

The Bottom Line: If you like the looks and above average cfm rating for OK price, this is a hood for you.

Review: I bought this product as a replacement of some old builder's special hood. The exterior design is very attractive and fits right into the kitchen that is equipped with other stainless steel appliances. I have a kitchen aid gas cooktop with 4 ...

Pros: Looks good

Cons: Inadequate ventilation of large volumes of grease vapors

The Bottom Line: Not recommended for serious home cooks who have good to very good ranges with high output burners.
