Summit HRTX24W 24" Wide Under Cabinet Ductless Retractable Range Hood in White, Hardwired

Summit HRTX24W 24" Ductless Retractable Range Hood in White with Cross-Flow Fan, 2-Speed Rocker Controls, Two LED Lights, Aluminum and Carbon Filters, 4" Low Profile and Hardwired Installation

Per Summit, this is the industry's first retractable range hood designed and engineered for recirculating use, and it is made in the USA.

Model HRTX24W is a 24" wide range hood in a glossy white powder-coated finish. The retractable design and 4" height create a low profile, minimalist look that blends into the kitchen when not in use. For maximum surface coverage, the retractable hood slides out as needed. Two oversized aluminum mesh filters with a carbon layer absorb grease, smoke, and cooking odors. Two pre-installed LED light bulbs provide convenient illumination over the cooking surface.

Unlike a converted ducted hood, this retractable hood is not convertible: per Summit, it is designed, constructed, and tested exclusively for ductless applications where there is no access to outside venting. Instead of blocking airflow with a simple baffle, it uses a cross-flow fan that rotates horizontally and redirects air smoothly out of front louvers set at a slight upwards angle, so smoke and odors are not directed toward the user. This maintains laminar airflow, avoiding back pressure and reducing the noise found in converted range hoods that use axial fans. Per Summit, although it operates at a lower CFM, its effective airflow outperforms traditional axial fans with a more efficient, quiet performance.

This range hood ships without a power cord and is designed to be hardwired by a licensed professional. A version with a pre-installed cord and plug is available as model HRTX24WPTC, and an ADA compliant version with separate controls is available as model HRTX24WADA.

Replacement filters are sold separately as the Summit HRTXFILTERSET.
