Zephyr Introduces Industry-First Range Hood with Built-In Bluetooth Speakers

Zephyr, the company that continues to lead the specialty appliance category with thoughtful product design and innovative new technology, has introduced the industry’s first range hood with built-in Bluetooth stereo speakers. Roma Groove helps home chefs find their rhythm in the kitchen with the ability to stream playlists from various Bluetooth devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

With its quality sound, powerful performance, and striking contemporary design, Roma Groove turns the kitchen into the ultimate listening lounge. A $200 upgrade from the standard Roma Wall model, Roma Groove delivers high-tech kitchen technology without the high price tag of a complete sound system overhaul.

“Incorporating Bluetooth technology into specialty appliances, such as the range hood, redefines how these products are perceived in kitchen design,” said Luke Siow, Zephyr president. “Roma Groove takes center stage in the kitchen and contributes to an upbeat environment that is inviting for family and friends. It transforms the space from a utilitarian kitchen to the ultimate listening lounge.”

Roma Groove kitchen range hood offers key functionality such as playing/pausing music, skipping tracks, or changing the volume directly from the hood itself using the built-in Bluetooth controls. Available in 30- and 36-inch widths, Roma Groove frees up counterspace and eliminates the need for a separate Bluetooth speaker. Equipped with ICON Touch controls, Roma Groove includes Zephyr BriteStrip LED and dual level LED lighting, which illuminates the cooking surface and gives an intimate glow to the kitchen at night.
