Sorry, attempting to keep them clean, as I think about a spillage and that nice shiny ring at the base. A No from me as well. They also remind me less of the monoliths and more of the Jawas' Sandcrawler.Chookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230973711859964063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-59809032428373563082011-03-01T08:33:00.842-05:002011-03-01T08:33:00.842-05:00Ooops, typo correction 'sacr i ficing' -B...Ooops, typo correction 'sacr i ficing' -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-92156759936440377462011-03-01T07:18:43.651-05:002011-03-01T07:18:43.651-05:00Honestly, if it means sacraficing an inch of count...Honestly, if it means sacraficing an inch of counter space I'm afraid I would have to have to vote 'thumbs down'. -Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-58057161107436287732011-02-27T12:07:14.181-05:002011-02-27T12:07:14.181-05:00My God!My God!Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-83883355692568655712011-02-27T11:59:45.744-05:002011-02-27T11:59:45.744-05:00Paul ... they're full of stars!Paul ... they're full of stars!ArneSalvesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744521317242948882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-9198619530847863232011-02-27T11:54:37.754-05:002011-02-27T11:54:37.754-05:00I was thinking of the Monolith in 2001: A Space Od...I was thinking of the Monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-11070380266502267922011-02-27T11:45:23.187-05:002011-02-27T11:45:23.187-05:00Comprehending what they're trying to do but mu...Comprehending what they're trying to do but must admit I'm not fond of them either -- at least until Arne brought up The Lord of the Rings reference.

I ...I won't hide behind the anonymous tag Paul. I don't like them either, but not quite as much as our friend. I'm a function guy when it comes to the kitchen, and these things lack anything to capture the fumes. I like that they are adjustable which could help out.<br /><br />But what I find surprising is how on the one hand you talk about not ruining the site lines with a canopy fan, but on the other you'd install the twin (triplet) towers from Lord of the Rings. I'd file these under "an answer for a question nobody asked".ArneSalvesenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14744521317242948882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-38000506714293877132011-02-27T11:05:55.377-05:002011-02-27T11:05:55.377-05:00I love it when people hide behind an anonymous reg...I love it when people hide behind an anonymous registration to be critical. <br /><br />These towers fit in the gap behind a cooktop, space that's unusable anyhow. The Gaggenau telescope suffers from the same problem pop ups and downdrafts do, it doesn't work very well. These towers are tall enough to actually work. In an open, modern kitchen design, these towers would work when the designer doesn't want to ruin a sight line by dropping a hood from the ceiling.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-7785832915973472922011-02-27T08:31:50.655-05:002011-02-27T08:31:50.655-05:00You're surely kidding thinking this is a good ...You're surely kidding thinking this is a good idea? What client would want to sacrifice the counter space for this lame idea? At least the Gaggenau telescopic vent that's been around for 20 years retracts.Furthermore who would want these 3 towers on their counters?????<br /><br />http://www.gaggenau.com/US_en/products/ventilators-overview/product-detail.do?contentId=0fe5d9d2-2d1b-4d17-901e-4db4bea9cad2&family=HoodsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
