WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

This is expensive, but its price maps to a genuine system architecture: a 120 cm capture body, external Isodrive SP1600 motor, five speeds and stainless baffles. An independent long review found the installed system barely audible in an optimal configuration, while also documenting imperfect small controls—useful counterweight to marketing.

MATERIALS

Undermount canopyStainless steel

Durable, cleanable recessed body without a shallow microwave-style underside.

FiltersStainless-steel baffles

Removable baffles manage grease and are dishwasher-cleanable.

Blower systemExternal weatherproof motor assembly

Moves the principal motor noise away from the cook's head and allows a large canopy volume.

CRITERIA

10/10

Capture geometry

120 cm undermount provides unusually broad coverage for a large cooktop.

9/10

Delivered airflow

SP1600 capacity is substantial, but duct size/length and cap must match it.

9/10

Usable quietness

Remote-motor layout materially removes motor noise from the kitchen.

9/10

Ducting compatibility

Requires an intentionally routed external-motor duct installation.

9/10

Grease management

Removable stainless baffle filters.

8/10

Durability/serviceability

Separate motor and long motor warranty; electronic control panel is a known watchpoint.

8/10

Light, controls, efficiency

Five speeds, LEDs and timer; reviewer found physical controls awkward.

IDEAL FOR

·Large 90–120 cm cooktops
·Open-plan homes where acoustic comfort matters
·New-build or renovation projects able to route an external motor

NOT FOR

·Budget remodels
·Recirculation
·Retrofits without roof/eave/wall motor space

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

A 120 cm flush undermount is elegant, providing a broad, unobtrusive capture plane. LED lighting, five speeds, and a timer are useful. Independent reviews note the small, side-mounted controls can be awkward; specify the remote and test it before cabinetry is finalized.

LONGEVITY

The remote Isodrive motor carries a ten-year warranty, while the canopy warranty is shorter. Filters are serviceable, but test the control panel early: independent use reporting records panel replacement/support experience. Use professional installation and accessible motor mounting.
