Sophisticated hood for the sophisticated you


Manufacturer Description

Zephyr Ventilation is known for the strict geometry of the under-cabinet range hood. First, they crafted a smooth, sophisticated curvature. Then, the volume was pumped up with a powerful, virtually noise-free 850-cfm blower. And dimmable  halogen lights invite you and your guests to a warm respite from the everyday.

The Zephyr Stainless Typhoon 30 is a newly designed range hood, a ventilation system for removing grease, dust, steam, and other forms of exhaust from your kitchen.  This model features an updated, attractive shape, near silent operation, easy cleaning, and dimmable halogen lighting for your kitchen.  It's an attractive way to keep your kitchen comfortable and pleasant even while cooking.

Our Review:

When you need to cap off your kitchen appliances with good looks and safety, the Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Steel Typhoon 30 Range Hood is the perfect choice. A vital piece of any stove top, the overhanging hood can make or break the look of the room. Of course, you want a hood to do what it is designed for, which is to cover the stovetop range and direct smoke or hot air into a ventilation system. But with the Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood, it’s also a design element of a good-looking kitchen. This stainless steel hood has been redesigned by Zephyr, a great brand name in kitchen units, to be functional and powerful as well as classy.

The Basics of the Hood

For starters, the Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30in Under Cabinet Range Hood is a utility for your kitchen. It keeps hot air and smoke moving away from the area above the stove. It helps remove dust, steam, grease and fumes from your kitchen. The unit contains a powerful 850-cfm blower that runs extremely powerfully yet quietly. It is also incredibly easy to clean, which is important considering it hangs directly above your food preparation area. The Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30in Under Cabinet Range Hood has buttons on the front for easy access, while curved lines keep the unit well-blended into the kitchen’s overall design. In this capacity, the Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30in Under Cabinet Range Hood does what it is supposed to do, keep you kitchen’s air clean. But a stove top hood actually does much more for the look and feel of your home.

The ambiance of the Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood

Kitchens are a hotbed of household activity. Day and night, someone always seems to be going into the kitchen. Some families even eat dinner in the kitchen, or have small gatherings. This is where a beautiful stove top hood can help wrap together the ambiance of your kitchen. First of all, the hood is often a primary source of light for both chef and house guests. The Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood includes a halogen light that gives off a bright shine for cooking times. But the Zephyr AK2100AB BlackS Stainless Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood also has a dimmer function that lowers the halogen light to a soft glow for those intimate kitchen moments. It’s also perfect for use as a night-light for those who need it.

Comments about Zephyr AK2100A Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood:

I bought this for my kitchen to replace my old microwave hood. It does good job to keep smell out of the house. With 6 speed you can easily select power/noise level for your need. The looking is very sleek and modern. It has some drawback and it's why I gave it a 4 star. First, the SS sheet is thin and edge is sharp. You need to be careful not get yourself hurt when handling it. Manual is kind of notuseful. It is obvious outdated because electric box connection was not needed(it's actually good)but it is still in the manual, this made it very confusing. Also Manual said no details of how to secure the hood with enclosed screws and those screws were useless. I bought my own screws to install it.
In summary, this is fine unit with nice power and good looking, Details need to be refined, and most importantly, manual needs to b erewritten.

Comments about Zephyr AK2100A Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood:

Had it installed for 2 weeks. Very powerful, Not much smell after the cooking to keep the family room clean. But in upstairs you can still smell lightly. So far so good for its function.

But it's painful to install it. You need at least 2 persons to hold it to put on the screws. The 2 screws on the back are very hard to fasten. very little room for you to do this job. A screw driver with long handle is a must.

Comments about Zephyr AK2100A Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood:

I haven't really had a chance to use this product yet, as my installers are having a problem getting duct tape on a duct when it is in the wall of the house! Two men who professionally install appliances took an entire day to work on installing this fan. I've read the reviews, and it sounds like it will be great once we get it running properly, but I feel very frustrated at this point and wish I had chosen a product with the remark "easy to install."

Comments about Zephyr AK2100A Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood:

excellent suction power. Made curry last night and did not smell up the whole house.
Very difficult to install. Took my dad and husband, both engineers, an hour to install it.
Very quiet and no rattling at all even with such great power.
Bought it from a recommendation from a friend. Excellent recommendation.

Comments about Zephyr AK2100A Typhoon 30 in Under Cabinet Range Hood:

Nice looking and powerful range hood. It is good to have 6 levels of power options, and at lower power level, it is pretty quiet.
There is a little inconsistency between the manual/install guide and the real product. The electric line part is much easier in the product.

One cons: one of the light bulbs went out after one week usage. The light bulb is real hot which should not have been like this.

I bought this product to replace my microwave oven (hood fan style), which I hated. This machine is powerful and relatively quiet. It has 6 speeds. The delay switch-off function is a great feature. The head light gives much convenience. Overall, it is one of the most usefual, enjoyable appliances that I have in my kitchen.
