The Lipstick range hood is a member of the new BEST® Sorpresaâ„¢ line of revolutionary range hood designs that challenge perceptions of what a range hood can look like. The Italian designed Lipstick is sure to be a stand out in any kitchen, with its sleek cylindrical design and pop of bright red color with a contrasting stainless steel wedge. Elevating the everyday kitchen appliance into a work of art, Lipstick is an instant conversation starter. Like the bright red lipstick tube that inspired this hood’s design and name, Lipstick adds an air of glamour and drama to any room it calls home. The new Lipstick range hood delivers the world-class features expected from a BEST® range hood with its’ unique four-speed joystick control and LED display that allows the user to easily determine which speed has been selected.

In the midst of the Great Depression, two aggressive young men emerged with two new products that would make major contributions to the housing industry. In 1932, Henry Broan developed and manufactured a kitchen fan called the Motordor® Fan that provided quiet and efficient kitchen ventilation. His creation launched what is today known as Broan-NuTone LLC. Four years later, in 1936, J. Ralph Corbett developed a melodious door chime replacing the obnoxious door buzzer of the time. His development launched what is today known as NuTone, Inc. Both men, headquartered in the Midwest, started their companies with a simple product and a few employees. Each expanded their companies, creating revolutionary new products that provided unmatched conveniences for homeowners nationwide. Both companies quickly became global competitors and continued to provide innovative, superior products to meet the needs of consumers. In 1981, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. was acquired by Nortek, Inc. and became the lead company of Nortek's Residential Building Products Group, which was named the Broan Group. During this same time period, NuTone was sold to Scovill Manufacturing in 1967 and was then acquired by Williams plc in 1991. In 1998, Nortek acquired NuTone, adding it to the Broan Group and renaming the group the Broan-NuTone Group. Then, in January 2000, Broan Mfg. Co., Inc. became Broan-NuTone LLC. Today, Broan-NuTone LLC leads the industry with forward-thinking residential ventilation products, customized climate, communications and storage solutions and superior customer service. Broan-NuTone is proud to acknowledge that over 80% of homeowners in the United States rely on one or more BROAN®, NuTone®, or BEST® products every day to provide them with superior indoor air quality and lifestyle conveniences. Headquartered in Hartford, Wisconsin, Broan-NuTone employs 2,600 people in eight countries on five continents.
