ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Nov. 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- LG Electronics USA today announced the addition of range hoods to the LG STUDIO pro-style, premium line of kitchen appliances designed in partnership with renowned interior designer and LG STUDIO Artistic Advisor Nate Berkus. The four new hoods offer powerful performance and whisper-quiet ventilation*, along with a distinct and sophisticated styling package that has become the hallmark of the LG STUDIO portfolio.

New Range Hoods Expand Nate Berkus-Inspired LG STUDIO Kitchen Appliance Portfolio

The LG STUDIO wall-mounted hoods offer a streamlined, low-profile look paired with a professional-grade 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM) blower that delivers ultimate air movement, helping to quickly eliminate smoke, grease and food odors. The theme of powerful performance and refined style continues with dual level LED lighting that brilliantly illuminates the cooktop surface and sophisticated, SmoothTouch™ controls for easy cleaning and operation.

The sleek new range hoods will be available in two finishes (black stainless steel and traditional stainless steel) and in two sizes (30- and 36- inch), giving homeowners options to meet their kitchen specifications and style. LG STUDIO's popular black stainless steel finish offers a stainless steel look with a satin-smooth, warm and sophisticated finish unlike any other for a both modern and timeless aesthetic. It is also fingerprint- and smudge-resistant making it ideal for families and a welcomed addition to any kitchen.

The new range hoods complement the broad lineup of LG STUDIO appliances, further diversifying the range of kitchen appliances best known for its premium built-in and freestanding refrigerators, slide-in electric and gas ranges, wall ovens, cooktops, dishwashers and microwave ovens that offers a pro-style and inspired aesthetic.

"We shouldn't have to sacrifice the design or style of our kitchen for function, and this hood is the perfect blend of both," said Berkus. "LG STUDIO has always been about innovative pro-style features and this new offering is no exception, marrying sophisticated design with technological ingenuity. It will elevate the look and performance of any kitchen."

David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing for LG Electronics USA, added, "LG STUDIO appliances represent cutting-edge innovations paired with expert styling inspired by Nate Berkus himself. With the addition of built-in range hoods in our premium LG STUDIO line, we're offering today's home chefs the complete package for their premium kitchens with the highest level of form and function."
