What is the weight of the hood?
The Zephyr AK2100A weighs approximately 45 lbs.

Sophisticated curves have become the hallmark of Zephyr range hoods, and the AK2100A under cabinet hood from the Typhoon Series is no exception to this rule. Gorgeous stainless steel houses a powerful 850 CFM blower capable of handling anything your kitchen throws at it. Six speed electronic touch controls with three-stage timed delay puts full control at your fingertips, where the innovative self cleaning function allows you to be hands off where it counts. Featuring a fully concealed underside with non-stick interior coating and dual 35W halogen lighting that will leave your cook top bathed in warm, soft light, the AK2100A is as much a practice in modern convenience as it is an opportunity to extend your personal expression into the kitchen. Zephyr believes that function and form should never have to compete with one another, and with the AK2100A you get a range hood that flawlessly incorporates both.

The Zephyr AK2100A weighs approximately 45 lbs.
The Zephyr AK2100A has an even scaling on the CFM to each power level: (1) 142cfm / (2) 282cfm / (3) 425cfm / (4) 564cfm / (5) 709cfm / (6) 850cfm
The Zephyr AK2100A comes with everything you need except for the actual duct work. Your installer will provide you with the ducting for your ventilation system.
The Zephyr AK2100A can be vented from the top or the rear. The rear vent utilizes a 3-1/4" x 10" duct. As long as venting through the rear of the hood with this type of ducting is possible, then yes, a microwave can be installed above this unit.
Self cleaning ovens work very well. The oven is heated up to 950 degrees F. and that burns off the dirt and turns it to a gray ash that you wipe off with a damp cloth. The self clean cycle is usually a four hour process that slowly heats the oven taking almost an hour for it to get up to cleaning temperatures and the door latch locks so you cannot open the door once it reaches 550 degrees F. and it will remain locked until it cools to below that temperature at the end of the cycle or you abort the clean cycle for any reason. It can take a while for the latch to unlock so if you attempt to unlatch the door and the lever will not move do not force it just wait longer. Many newer ranges do not have door latch handles and latch and unlatch on their own.
Unfortunately, the Zephyr AK2100A cannot be converted to ductless.
Like other Zephyr products, the Zephyr AK2100A lights can stay on without the blower.
When venting these products, the direction is irrelevant to the sone level for your applications.

Like many retailers, Build.com can choose to set its own prices independently. And even though manufacturers require Build.com and other retailers to display a product's "minimum advertised price" (or MAP), the retailer can choose to sell for less than that. But the price must be conveyed in other ways, and each individual manufacturer's MAP policy determines where the price can be seen.
To see the price for this product at Build.com, you'll need to place it in your shopping cart, and maybe even proceed to final checkout. If you're not ready to buy the product, simply remove it from the cart.
Build.com apologizes for any inconvenience. We'd just like to offer you the chance to save extra money while we adhere to manufacturers' MAP policies. Build.com is also working to educate manufacturers on how their policies impact customers and their buying behavior.
