UP27 Professional- Style Range Hood

Accented by seamless welded construction of brushed 304 stainless steel, the UP27 provides a unique and lasting statement in any kitchen, says Wellnitz.

There are several blower options for the UP27, all of which are certified by the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) to perform at the stated CFM level. The UP27I features a powerful 700 CFM internal blower. Flexible design allows the blower to exhaust through the top or back of the hood for either horizontal or vertical duct applications. For customers who want the ultimate in quiet and power, the UP27E allows the choice of four in-line and four external blower options up to 1500 CFM.

The UP27 series includes superior Evolution™ baffle filters, which combine the performance of baffle filters with the efficiency of mesh for the ultimate in filtration. As with all Best by Broan range hoods, this series offers the exclusive Heat Sentry™ system, which automatically detects excessive heat and turns the blower to a higher speed. The UP27 also features concealed, adjustable speed and lighting controls that remember the last setting used, making operation simple and easy.

The UP27 is available in 30-inch, 36-inch, 42-inch and 48-inch widths and is 22 inches deep. A non-duct recirculation kit is available for use with internal blower models.
