Product Line Overview

The Vent-A-Hood product line consists of two series of ducted, and one line of duct-free ventilation. A quick review of the major differences, outlined below, should help to narrow your search for the Vent-A-Hood model that will best suit the type of appliance you have, as well as your unique cooking habits.

Ducted Ventilation: These two series of ventilators both involve the highly efficient principles of centrifugal ventilation but they differ distinctly in their CFM ratings and, therefore, ventilation capacity.

  1. The “Classic" Series. Our term at Shady Oak Distributing for the unique Magic Lung® ventilation system.
  2. The "K" Series. “K" Series products all have a “K" in the model number.

Duct-Free, Air Recovery System (ARS) Ventilation: It is always preferable to vent a range hood to the outside. When that isn't possible, the best method for removing cooking contaminants from the air is, hands-down, the Vent-A-Hood 4-Phase Air Recovery System. This patent-pending system removes virtually all grease, odors, steam and smoke. In short, it's the only duct-free ventilation system that actually does something!
