What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Zephyr Monsoon II for its exceptional performance and sophisticated design.

Know before you buy
Because this is an insert hood designed for custom cabinetry, professional installation is highly recommended. You will need to ensure your custom enclosure is built to the exact dimensions of 34.375" x 22.5" and that your ductwork is properly routed for a 10-inch round connection.
At its maximum speed, the blower operates at 7.0 sones. While this is powerful enough to handle heavy-duty cooking, it will be audible in the kitchen, so you may want to use lower speeds for everyday meal preparation.
No, these baffle filters are not dishwasher safe. To keep them in good condition, we recommend cleaning them by hand using a degreaser and warm water.
Yes, this unit requires a 10-inch round duct for proper ventilation. It is designed for vertical discharge, so ensure your kitchen layout can accommodate this duct size to maintain the hood's performance.
Airflow Control Technology allows you to limit the maximum blower CFM to meet local building codes or specific makeup air requirements. This ensures the hood operates efficiently without exceeding the ventilation limits of your home.
The included wireless remote uses radio frequency, so it does not require a direct line of sight to operate the hood. This makes it convenient to adjust settings from anywhere in the kitchen while you are cooking.
