The Range Hood Industry: Time to Pump the Cesspool II

Get Ready for the Perp Walk ..............cause we love 'da perp walk
The Home Ventilating Institute ( HVI.org ) has accepted the ApplianceAdvisor's challenge to clean up the ly'in and cheat'in ways of the kitchen ventilation industry (see our July 2005 plea below) by testing rangehoods from brands which are not members of HVI.  In fact as of September 29, the program was well underway with many suspect products having already been acquired and "tested in accordance with HVI testing procedures as described on the HVI website".

Once tested, non-member brands will receive one of two letters from HVI.

• The Honest:  an invitation to join HVI.  
• The Seemingly Corrupt:  an invitation to send another rangehood to the HVI certified lab at Texas A&M for a re-confirmation test.

And what of these brands which are proved to be corrupt, where engineers, marketers and executives conspired purposely, to steal from their customers and their competitors, and to damage the very foundation of civilization, kicking out the pillars of civil society, all for selfish financial gain?  

Oh yahh, we'll be fair.....but we soooo love 'da perp walk.
We'll be nam'in 'da names and brand'in 'da brands, and do'in the General William Tecumseh Sherman dance all over their bodies.
