You have an extremely professional video with great graphics and so on. Your demeanor is extremely professional, serious and earnest, and yet you have some incredibly hilarious lines!!
We don't like upper cabinets. Our last house had a pop up down draft for this very reason. It was great although it was loud. Our kitchen didn't smell. We are planning the same thing in our new house I am currently renovating. This place will have induction so no gas to deal with. Hoping to get an exterior blower this time. We did not hate it .)
@@YaleAppliance1 I hear you loud and clear. Maybe it is the way we cook. I am just saying we never had an issue with our setup. Would an overhead be better ? Absolutely. Did I ever think there was too much smoke in my kitchen or it smelled ? No That didn’t happen. It could come down to what and how we cook though.
Which would be better? We have a 12' cathedral ceiling above our electric range. Should we use a pop-up 4, range w/built in downdraft, or put a fan in the ceiling near the peak (12')?
@@YaleAppliance1 they are flawed, but they're really the only choices I have. The range is not on an outside wall and a hood hanging from a 12' ceiling would be super ugly.
the ceiling is open vaulted and very high but definitely cooking of a 48'induction range on the island is in the design. what ventilation suggested if not down draft traditional hood can't reach the ceiling
We typically don't recommend downdrafts at all. Really it should be a last resort when venting as they are not effective. Having it exhaust through a 4" duct is not ideal either. To put that in perspective thats the same as an over the range microwave requires.
@@YaleAppliance1 Going to be using kitchen to film cooking videos as well- hence why design of stovetop in island makes sense. That being said, I'll opt for a good overhead vent w high CFM.
Definitely. You're venting from above so it would give you the capture area required to vent a space properly. Most of those units are good up to 12-feet high so you are well within range of effectiveness.
If you install a kit you're fine. They all work the same way. As soon as the hood gets to 400 CFM the damper will open allowing the same amount air in that leaves.
@@YaleAppliance1 Chef Eric Ripert and Chef Katie Button have downdrafts in their home kitchens. If it's good enough for world class chefs--it's good enough for me! : )
i get it, but, what if a downdraft is literally the only choice given budget and kitchen logistics? Not everyone has the luxury of just designing it out. I normally love your videos, and your no BS opinions, but this is unhelpful. If you had in here somewhere something like if you have to do it then these are the ones to pick. What about Best, Faber, Zephyr, Bosch, GE - are they all really equally bad? Do they all just not work at all? I doubt it, but I wouldn't know from your video.
Point taken...in other videos, I do say its better than totally renovating a bad design. Its better than nothing which should not be the standard in a new kitchen. I like the Thermador or any higher CFM downdraft
Is this a re-upload?
We had to remove a photo and re-upload this one.
You guys are awesome! I love your no BS take, even at the cost of business you carry. That's integrity and I'm buying from y'all, if you ship to NYC!
Many thanks

Your information just saved from making a HUGE mistake with my remodel. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
@@YaleAppliance1 Too bad you guys aren't in the DC area. Would love to visit your showroom.

Except downdrafts do not vent well

The downdraft hate is palpable.
😂

Do I have to choose. All seem flawed.

The original was funny but this one is still good. Love this guy lol
Thank you.....One of the manufacturers took issue with what was said
We had to take down and edit out an image unfortunately.
get in line

If this is a new kitchen, redesign it.....
@YaleAppliance do downdrafts work if there's a very small area for vent to go to the outside? Say 4' to exit?
I'm big on proper ventilation for cooking but the eyesore of overhead range hood vent is not nothing.

Would an integrated ceiling vent be better than a downdraft? I want a clean look, but understand downdrafts aren’t as good. 8’ ceiling height.
Definitely. You're venting from above so it would give you the capture area required to vent a space properly. Most of those units are good up to 12-feet high so you are well within range of effectiveness.
@@YaleAppliance1 thanks so much
How can I purchase it? I need asap

What happens if you don’t have enough make up air?
If you install a kit you're fine. They all work the same way. As soon as the hood gets to 400 CFM the damper will open allowing the same amount air in that leaves.
And yet some of the top chefs in the world have downdrafts on their kitchens…
Not by design, I assure you...
