The Zephyr ZTA-E30 30-Inch Tamburo is a perfect example of the innovation that Zephyr Ventilation is rapidly gaining a reputation for. These range hoods are creative, stylish and functional.

A unique Italian design, this hood is not only functional, but also an outstanding value in the increasingly crowded and overpriced luxury hood market. Designed for under the cabinet installation, this hood offers subtle, contemporary styling and stunning performance.

With a draw of 400 cfm, this hood is powerful enough to keep the kitchen cool and grease-free, yet not so strong that it disrupts the heating and cooling system of the home. Rated at 5 sones, the noise produced by this unit is kept to a minimum. Mechanical controls allow for easy toggling between the three individual speed settings. Two powerful halogen lamps provide bright lighting over the cooking surface.

Cooking utensils can be conveniently stored on the adjustable utility bar, located front and center. This versatile model offers three-way ducting and can be converted for ductless applications. Also available in a 36-inch version, the finish on this model is high-quality stainless steel. A clear leader in this category, the Tamburo stands out and proves that well-designed ventilation need not be boring.

Pro: excellent innovative design, powerful, offers utensil rack and bright lighting Con: more expensive than some, yet a good value
