SensaSource®
Vent-A-Hood equips halogen-light range hood models with SensaSource®, an integrated motor and heat sensor that perfectly balances extra-quiet operation with full-power performance. During light cooking, the motor operates at low speed. When the temperature inside the Vent-A-Hood® rises to unacceptable levels - or before a range fire occurs - the heat sensor switches the motor to high speed. The motor returns to quiet operation when the temperature is safely lowered. SensaSource® is not available on fluorescent-light models.
The “Magic Lung® Today”
Our patented technology keeps your kitchen running smoothly.
The Magic Lung® blower system sets Vent-A-Hood® apart. You shouldn't settle for anything less than the Magic Lung® because it is:
Quiet. Turn on a Vent-A-Hood® range hood, and you'll hear only a whisper of air movement, because the Magic Lung® blower system provides the quietest ventilation available. Unbiased tests show (see below) that the Vent-A-Hood® Magic Lung® blower has one of the lowest sound ratings in the industry-especially at high speed-where it counts.
How quiet is a Vent-A-Hood®? The test results shown below were generated at a certified independent industry testing lab.* All tests were measured at full speed to demonstrate the most accurate sound rating (other manufacturers may use lower speeds for testing which don't reflect accurate operating sound levels.)
300 CFM Magic Lung® Blower- 5.4 Sones (At High Speed)
600 CFM Magic Lung® Blower- 6.5 Sones (At High Speed)
900 CFM Magic Lung® Blower- 6.3 Sones (At High Speed)
1200 CFM Magic Lung® Blower- 6.6 Sones (At High Speed)
Vent-A-Hood's® Magic Lung® "multi-blower technology" allows CFM to double, triple, or quadruple with very little effect on sound levels.

Efficient. The powerful Magic Lung® blower traps cooking contaminants, liquefies grease vapor and removes heat-polluted air. It combines sufficient air pressure and constant speed with centrifugal filtration-and because it doesn't pull air through a filter-it provides the most efficient kitchen ventilation available today. This filtration system, along with the open canopy design of a Vent-A-Hood®, delivers performance far more efficiently than other filtration systems.
Easy-cleaning. The Magic Lung® housing snaps apart for easy cleaning in the dishwasher or with warm, soapy water. The Magic Lung® blower housing snaps apart for easly cleaning in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water. The Magic Lung® motor is also enclosed in a specially designed housing to keep it out of the grease flow, thereby maximizing its operational performance. Easy to snap-apart housings and fully enclosed motors mean no hidden grease in hard to reach areas behind a mesh or baffle filter.
Fire-safety. The Magic Lung® constant speed centrifugal blower is designed to liquefy grease in the sealed blower housing and to create a pressure barrier, lowering the risk of an attic or wall fire. In 70+ years of manufacturing this system, Vent-A-Hood® has never received a report of an attic or wall fire when the Magic Lung® blower has been in use.
Powerful. Magic Lung® blowers can be configured to provide the power you need for even the most demanding cooking surface. Each highly efficient Magic Lung® blower supplies 300 CFM of air movement; you can combine multiple blowers in a single Vent-A-Hood® to create the perfect ventilation for your cooking surface.
