ZEPHYR LUX CONNECT ISLAND
DISCREETLY MOUNTS INTO CEILING,
CONTROLLED BY ZEPHYR CONNECT APP
Sleek, minimal design with groundbreaking app
technology
The connected kitchen continues to change the way consumers
cook, entertain and interact with their appliances. Zephyr, the
company that leads the industry in smart design and clean air, has
transformed the range hood with Zephyr Connect – an app that lets
users remotely control the hood from a smartphone. Zephyr
introduces Lux Connect Island, a minimalist kitchen range hood
with the groundbreaking new app technology and an integrated
design that discreetly mounts into the ceiling above the cooktop.
Lux Connect won't block sightlines in the kitchen, nor does it
compromise on power or performance.
Lux Connect seamlessly integrates with Amazon Alexa and
Google Home devices for voice activation to control the hood
functions. The app provides notifications when it's time to clean/
replace the filters and alerts users if the range hood has been left
on for more than three hours. It includes quick access to warranty
information, how-to videos, and intuitive support with high-level
product diagnostics for easy access to Zephyr Product Support. A
convenient delay-off feature is controlled via the app, which will
automatically keep the hood running for up to 10 minutes after
cooking to remove excess smoke and unwanted odors.
In a category of its own, Lux Connect is equipped with Perimeter
Aspiration, a technique that moves airflow away from the central
area of the hood and evenly distributes it through narrow openings
around the perimeter. This ventilation method increases air velocity
and improves the capture of cooking contaminates. Perimeter
Aspiration ensures the hood will keep the kitchen free of smoke and
debris and can handle the most powerful cooking jobs.
"Lux Connect Island attracts a market segment that gravitates
toward an open kitchen layout and those that entertain often around
built-in islands, yet do not want a traditional island hood," says Luke
Siow, Zephyr president. "And its compatibility with Zephyr Connect
elevates the hood's technology with an easy-to-use interface, smart
