 The WP29, for use indoors, features a seamless, welded design providing a flawless appearance; a 304 stainless steel finish gives the WP29 lasting quality. A deep hood enclosure ensures excellent capture of smoke and odors, while the specially coated silver ion stainless steel makes cleaning effortless. Unique to the WP29 are Evolution™ baffle filters, which combine the performance of baffle filters with the efficiency of mesh for the ultimate in filtration.

Marine-grade controls resist the effects of extreme heat and moisture, while an optional hood cover (recommended in saltwater coastal areas) protects the finish in harsh environments.
