Unlike Viking’s overhead wall and chimney hoods, the VDD5360 pulls cooking exhaust downward through a motorized panel that rises up from behind the cooktop and retracts flush when not in use. A lift mechanism that won’t raise or lower fully is a problem specific to this downdraft format, distinct from the fan and duct issues shared with overhead hoods.
Key Features
- 36" retractable downdraft ventilation system
