Introduced in 1937, the patented Magic Lung® blower system sets Vent-A-Hood apart. Available in 300 – 1200 CFM (450-1800 CFM equivalent).
- Quietest – Ranging from 5.4 to 6.6 Sones (300-1200 cfm), check out the results generated by an independent industry testing lab comparing the Magic Lung to competing brands running at high speed.
- Most Efficient – Because it doesn’t pull air through a mesh/baffle filter, the sufficient air pressure and constant speed of the centrifugal filtration makes it the most efficient kitchen ventilation available.
- Easy-Cleaning – The patented E-Z Clean™ system collects grease in a tray that slides off and on the snap-apart housing that protects the motor from becoming grease-laden. Much easier than the mesh filters and hard-to-reach-behind baffle filters that leave the motor exposed and vulnerable to cooking contaminants.
- Fire-Safe – The only residential system that prevents fire from spreading to the rest of the home. Constant speed creates centrifugal pressure that prevents fire from entering the ductwork.
- Powerful – Simply put, do more with less CFM than alternative ventilation.
Introduced in 2004, the value kitchen series, V-Line, features an exclusive and compact Power Lung Blower, equipped with centrifugal technology, offering the maximum performance in its category.
