Vent-A-Hood ® Magic Lung® Whisper Quiet Technology

Top 5 Reasons to Purchase a Magic Lung Hood

Quiet

Turn on a Vent-A-Hood® and you’ll hear only a whisper of air movement, because the Magic Lung® system provides the quietest kitchen ventilation available. Vent-A-Hood®s with the Magic Lung® range hood technology also feature SensaSource®. SensaSource® raises the blower speed from low to high based on temperature for optimal grease control, fire safety, and even quieter operation.

Efficient

The powerful Magic Lung® blower traps all cooking contaminants, liquefies grease vapor, and removes heat-polluted air. The Magic Lung® blower combines sufficient air pressure and constant speed with centrifugal filtration. Because it doesn’t pull air through a filter it is the most efficient kitchen ventilation available today.

Easy-Cleaning

The Magic Lung® housing snaps apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or with warm, soapy water. Moreover, the Magic Lung® is the only ventilation system that collects the grease in an easily cleaned housing rather than in hard-to-reach areas behind a mesh or baffle filter.

Fire-Safety

The Magic Lung® is the only residential kitchen ventilation system on the market today that prevents fire from spreading to the rest of the home. Constant speed creates centrifugal pressure that prevents fire from entering the ductwork. As needed, SensaSource® increases blower speed to its normal level to maintain this safety feature.

Powerful

Magic Lung® blowers can be configured to provide the power you need for even the most demanding residential cooking surfaces. Each highly efficient Magic Lung® blower supplies 300 - 900 CFM of air movement. Multiple blowers can be combined in a single Vent-A-Hood® to create the perfect kitchen ventilation for your cooking surface.

Cons

• Moderate CFM Level: At 300 CFM, it’s solid for everyday cooking but may not be enough for heavy frying, wok cooking, or large commercial-style use.
• Higher Upfront Price: Compared with basic under-cabinet hoods, the filterless design and premium build mean a higher initial investment.
• Required Ducting & Installation: Being a ducted model, proper external venting and ductwork installation are necessary, which can add cost and complexity.
• Ongoing Grease Maintenance: While filters aren’t required, the centrifugal grease basin still fills and needs regular cleaning with frequent heavy use.

Conclusion

The PRH9136SS is a well-built under-cabinet range hood ideal for everyday and moderate cooking needs, offering quiet operation, a filterless design for improved airflow, and enhanced safety features. Its professional look, easy cleaning, and quiet Magic Lung® blower make it a strong choice for low-maintenance, effective ventilation. However, it comes at a higher price point and provides moderate 300 CFM, so for frequent heavy or high-heat cooking, a higher-CFM alternative may be preferable.
