Thermador PH60GS
Sixty inches across is a statement kitchen: a pro range plus a side element, or a long cooktop run. The PH60GS spans all of it with three speeds and a boost setting, and it is closer to the cooktop than some of its siblings because Thermador lists 30 inches of required distance. A closer canopy captures well but also collects grease faster.
Because there is no clean filter reminder and no damper, we depend on inspection. We look at the baffles, the lower lip of the canopy, the duct transition and the cap outside. A 60-inch hood moves a lot of air, and any restriction shows up as noise before it shows up as smoke.
Thermador lists PH60GWS as the manufacturer successor. Controls on this unit are push-button, so the switch and harness are the typical control items. We check each speed at the blower, boost included, since a weak boost often points to the motor rather than the panel.
More baffle area means more places for grease to sit, but frequency depends on how you cook. Check them regularly, because this model has no reminder.
Whistling at high speed often points to restricted airflow or a loose duct joint. We inspect both, along with the blower wheel. A sound that appears only on boost usually tells us where in the airflow path the restriction sits.
It is a large piece, so we plan for support and extra hands. Most work on filters, lights and switches can be done without lowering it.
