Blandon, PA, February 8 – BlueStar®, manufacturer of handcrafted, high-performance appliances for the home, announced that ABBAKA premium, custom range kitchen hoods and the well-known HY-EX remote blowers are now available for direct purchase through BlueStar® dealers. ABBAKA kitchen ventilation hoods are renowned for combining cutting edge designs with highly sought-after remote blower technology. Each hood is hand-built by master craftsmen with decades of experience.

ABBAKA offers a completely seamless design for both wall and island kitchen range hoods. The lower canopy and duct cover can be joined without a trace, free of joints, screwed connections, break lines or rivets found in custom range hoods of lesser quality. ABBAKA can craft any custom range hood to the customer’s precise specification with luxury metals and finishes, including stainless steel, copper or brass, and can be matched seamlessly with BlueStar® cooking and refrigeration appliances. In addition to premium hoods, ABBAKA also offers a complete line of hood inserts, liners, and blower options.

The signature ABBAKA HY-EX Remote Blower System is designed for maximum air movement, even with the most powerful range under it, and at the same time offers the ultra-quiet performance that homeowners demand. The variable speed control offers the ultimate in flexibility based on what the home chef is cooking. Plus the low profile design makes a minimal impart on the home’s exterior. “ABBAKA hoods perfectly complement BlueStar’s suite of commercial-style appliances, from cooking to refrigeration. These bespoke hood designs enrich the BlueStar offering at retail, and also offer consumers yet another option to truly customize their kitchens to their individual style,” said Eliza Sheffield, President, BlueStar®. “We believe that a hood should be an integral part of the kitchen design. Aesthetics and performance are of equal value and importance.”
