New Whirlpool Classic Chimney Hoods Create A Focal Point In Your Kitchen

Classic chimney-style hoods remain the most popular models on the market, and Whirlpool’s new AKR 945/IX and AKR 672/IX extractors provide an attractive fashion statement in the kitchen as well as offering excellent functionality.

Cooker hoods, thankfully, aren’t what they used to be. Long gone are the staid designs, lack of imagination and ear-nagging sound levels.

The new cooker hoods from Whirlpool are versatile and stylish finished in high quality stainless steel, these contemporary models can be either ducted or fitted to recirculate, therefore making them fully flexible for any home. Halogen lighting give the models excellent luminosity, while their aluminium dishwashable grease filters ensure that the hoods continue to work smoothly and make for easy maintenance.

Juliana Sado, Senior Brand Marketing Manager, Whirlpool says: “Whirlpool offers a generous and varied range of cooker hoods for our consumers, but the classic chimney style remains the choice of most. Our new models create a great visual impact in the kitchen and operate with excellent efficiency without making the noise that many new and even returning customers to the market might be expecting.”
