The Elica Glide under-cabinet hood keeps your cabinet's clear of both smelly foods and excess stainless steel. With its chrome-plated, low, dynamic profile, it'll surely be a hit with New Yorkers' tiny kitchens.

The Elica Glide is available in 30" and 36" widths. It's advertised as a high-performance hood, despite its small profile, and is constructed of tempered glass and steel. The curvy, telescopic visor actually slides out when ventilating and effortlessly tucks away for a discreet appearance. All it takes is a slight touch to control the 4-speed 450 CFM internal blower and 2 adjustable 20 watt halogen bulbs.

Other features include:

• 5-minute booster setting for a maximum ventilating power, then returning to previous blower setting
  
• Long lasting, dishwasher safe stainless steel mesh filter
  
• Ducted or recirculating installation

Unfortunately, this kind of futuristic, "to die for" kitchen gizmo doesn't come cheap. The Elica Glide hood sells for $1240 (for the 30" version) and $1340 (for the 36" version).
