We chose the 900cfm Verona 30 to handle our dual fuel range output. The hood has an 8” vertical vent and needs an 8” exhaust pipe and cap. We installed by it under a cabinet.
This hood is solid, beautifully crafted of high quality materials. The proportions are pleasing and the 10” height looks substantial but not excessive. The light in our kitchen plays nicely on the curved corner surfaces, creating a sense of depth and refinement. The dimmable LED lights are plenty bright on full intensity, and dim down smoothly. The colour temp is just right - crisp enough for working, but not too cool. The controls are subtle,
Nice tactile analog knobs inside the front edge of the hood. No visible buttons or branding. The removable stainless grills are quite solid and look great.
You need to plan for the vertical duct install with 8” pipe. We did an elbow inside the 30Wx20H cabinet with a little sideways offset to get around a stud, and on out through the wall. A bit tricky but doable. Would not be hard in a new build. You need to keep 8” all the way - reducer is highly discouraged. We also purchased the Victory 8” cap, also a solid piece of kit.
The beauty of 2 fans and an 8” pipe is high capacity venting with surprising low noise. You can barely hear it on low, and it’s not bad at all on high, better than we could have hoped for. We like the versatility of the 4-speed control.
We think this locally made hood offers excellent value with great aesthetics, well thought functionality in all aspects….and it’s very quiet!
Highly recommended.
