Downdraft Cooktops Benefits
Downdraft cooktops are revolutionizing modern kitchen design with their innovative features and sleek aesthetics. Unlike traditional cooktops, downdraft models feature built-in ventilation systems. This unique design eliminates the need for overhead hoods, freeing up space and creating a more open, streamlined look in the kitchen. Their versatility makes them an ideal choice for kitchens of all sizes, especially where space-saving solutions are paramount.
Another significant advantage of downdraft cooktops lies in their diverse range of styles and configurations. Whether you prefer gas, electric, or induction, there’s a downdraft cooktop that meets your cooking style and preferences. These cooktops are designed for convenience and efficiency, featuring easy-to-clean surfaces and intuitive controls. Their modern, minimalist appeal complements any kitchen décor, while the high-quality materials used in their construction promise durability and longevity.

Downdraft cooktops can be effective at venting smoke, steam and odors from the cooking surface. They can be installed in high-ceilinged kitchens or in places with limited cabinet space with no overhead hood. Since they’re at cooktop level they’re easier to clean than overhead vent hoods.
Not every manufacturer makes downdraft cooktops. At Coast Appliances, we are proud to carry several models from two brands consumers have trusted for years: KitchenAid and Jennair.
Most downdraft vents pull air into ductwork below the countertop (and sometimes below the floor) and vent it outside. Some downdraft vents recirculate the air, filter it, and vent it back into the kitchen.
A downdraft cooktop contains cooking elements - gas or electric - and a flat vent that either runs up the middle of the cooktop or raises and lowers from the cooktop surface. The vent uses a powerful fan to pull smoke, steam and hot air from the cooktop through filters and ductwork.
