Westin accessories are mostly remote motors for Westin cooker hoods, plus a replacement carbon filter. A remote motor moves the fan away from the hood itself, into a ceiling void, a loft, a kitchen plinth or onto an outside wall. That takes much of the motor noise out of the room you cook in. These motors are for hoods built to run with one, so check your hood's compatibility before ordering.
The main choice is where the motor will go. Inline motors fit along the duct run, usually in a ceiling void or loft, and extract between 800 and 1,300 m³/h depending on the model and duct size. External wall-mounted motors fit on the outside of the house and are designed to be weatherproof. Their extraction rates run from 900 m³/h on a 150mm duct up to 1,700 m³/h on a 200mm duct, for large kitchens or heavy cooking. The inline plinth motor is designed for downdraft extractors. It sits in the plinth space under the units, uses a 220 x 90mm flat-channel duct and moves 500 m³/h. Most of the motors take a 200mm duct, or 150mm with a duct reducer, but one wall-mounted model takes 150mm only. Westin notes that a remote motor's energy efficiency depends on the hood it is paired with.
The carbon filter is for hoods that recirculate air rather than ducting it outside, so check that it matches your hood model. To narrow the choice, decide first where the motor can go, then match its duct size and extraction rate to your hood from the Westin cooker hoods range. You can also browse all Westin products.
