Whirlpool launches this season’s latest cooker hood styles

Whirlpool launches this season’s latest cooker hood styles to make a great feature in your kitchen.

Whirlpool has launched its latest cooker hoods with a range to suit all tastes and budgets. From traditional stainless steel to ultra modern, Whirlpool has combined cutting edge technology with the latest designs to create three distinct new products: Glamour White, Vertical and Fusion 6th Sense Adaptive.

Designed with modern lifestyles and homes in mind Whirlpool’s new range of hoods offers outstanding airflow performance as well as reduced noise levels, creating a stylish and relaxed atmosphere in your kitchen in which you can cook, eat and entertain in your kitchen.  

The Glamour White
 
Almost futuristic in design the Glamour White decorative hood is the ultimate statement piece for your kitchen. The stylish “floating” design features an 85cm 'Flat Screen' with touch controls and LED lighting.


The Fusion 6th Sense Adaptive

Equipped with Whirlpool’s patented 6th Sense technology, the Fusion 6th Sense Adaptive hood features an intelligent self-regulating system which adapts the hood’s extraction rate depending on how it is installed in the kitchen. For example, if the extraction pipe releasing the air outside is bendy or lengthy, the system will automatically increase the extraction power to guarantee the very best performance. This also helps to reduce energy consumption by up to 50%*.

The hood also features a sleek display panel which makes it easy to choose from the five different cooking modes in order to guarantee optimum performance.


The Vertical

The Vertical is the final new hood in the range; similar to the Glamour White in its vertical formation but in keeping with the traditional style it features a stainless steel finish and halogen lamps.
