36″ Balance Black Island Range Hood

The “Balance Island" range hood from Futuro Futuro is the ideal finishing touch for any high-end modern kitchen. It combines a sleek shape, advanced filtration technology, versatile installation, and quiet yet powerful operation - to deliver a kitchen appliance that looks as great as it<br /> performs.<br /> Available in 3 colors - Pure Black, Matte Charcoal, and Opaque White - to fit any kitchen design or color scheme. The 36" width accommodates the most popular cooktop sizes (24", 30", or 36"), and the versatile mounting system means it can be installed anywhere - over an island, next to a wall, or even in front of a window. It even fits angled ceilings!<br /> The Black version of this range hood is perfect for kitchens where black and dark-gray shades predominate. However, it can also be a dramatic counterpoint to an all-white kitchen with black appliances. Either way, it's a beautiful and modern addition, far from the looks of traditional bulky stainless steel range hoods.<br /> A powerful yet quiet blower offers 4 selectable speeds, from 150 to 940 CFM. Airflow is enhanced by the innovative “Perimeter Suction System", which draws air into collector slots around a deflector panel, creating an air-curtain effect. This improves capture performance and distributes suction more evenly, avoiding the suction loss on the sides that's common with traditional mesh or baffle filters. In addition, the deflector panel reduces noise, and conceals the mesh filters until you remove them for cleaning in the dishwasher. Better suction, lower noise, and cleaner looks - it's a win-win-win!<br /> Lighting is provided by an LED strip around the entire perimeter, for smooth and even illumination. The 3000K color balance replicates natural daylight, so you can see your cooking creations exactly as they are. LEDs are energy-efficient, providing the equivalent of 150 watts of light for only 26 watts, and they last 20+ years - no need to worry about replacing light bulbs.<br /> Odors are filtered by the patented “Air Loop" recirculating system, which uses specially-designed “Micro Carbon Infusion Filter" cartridges that last a whopping FIVE YEARS. Compared to the traditional charcoal filters which must be replaced every 2-3 months, this is a major reduction in ongoing expenses and hassle. The MCIF filter permanently captures odors in the microscopic pores of activated charcoal granules.<br /> Since this range hood is designed around high-performance recirculation, it does not need an expensive and bulky duct, or additional make-up air (MUA) machinery. This makes it an excellent choice for home designs seeking to accommodate the energy efficiency requirements such as LEED, Passivhaus, and others.<br /> Like all other Futuro Futuro range hoods, the “Balance" range hood is made in Italy from the highest-grade AISI 304 stainless steel and advanced composites. It's covered by a 3-year warranty, and our dedicated experts are ready to consult with your designer, architect, and installer, to ensure the best product selection and proper installation.<br /> Great looks. High tech. Long life filters. Beautiful lighting. Quiet operation. Energy efficiency. Peace of mind. All great reasons to choose a Futuro Futuro range hood for your kitchen! sku: IS36BALANCE-BLK
