The Hauslane WM-530B and WM-530P: Which Range Hood is Right for You?
At Hauslane, all of our range hoods are designed to help you maintain a clean, smoke-free, and odor-free kitchen. Our WM-530 series is a homeowner favorite, due its blend of top-notch performance, aesthetics, and reliability.
Today, we’re turning the spotlight on the WM-530B and WM-530P models to compare their features, design, and capabilities. The 'B' in WM-530B stands for 'basic'. The 'P' in WM-530P stands for Pro. So, you might be able to guess some key difference about the two.
Here’s a closer look at the key differences between the two to help you decide which is the best fit for your kitchen.

Fan Power and Performance
Both range hoods have powerful dual motors designed to handle heavy-duty cooking. They’re ideal for frying, grilling, and other smoke-heavy cooking methods.

Other similarities:
-
6-speed fan settings for customizable airflow control.
-
Quiet operation despite robust performance.
-
High suction power to efficiently remove smoke, grease, and odors
The WM 530-P has a slightly higher airflow capacity. If you have a large kitchen or open floor plan, this model is likely the best option for you.
Ease of Cleaning
Both the WM-530B and WM-530P are designed with convenience in mind. They feature Hauslane’s innovative dishwasher-safe baffle filters, which trap grease effectively and can be easily removed for cleaning. The key difference between these two models is that the WM-530P has a fingerprint-resistant surface, which makes cleanup a bit easier.
Lighting Features
Both models include bright LED lights for energy-efficient illumination of your stovetop. However, the WM-530P provides adjustable brightness settings. So if you want more control over your kitchen's ambiance, go with the WM-530P.
Price Point
The WM-530B is more affordable, making it a great option for budget-conscious buyers who don’t want to compromise on quality or performance. The WM-530P, with its added features and premium finish, comes at a slightly higher price point.
Final Thoughts
Both the WM-530B and WM-530P deliver the high performance and reliability that Hauslane is known for, but their differences cater to distinct preferences:
-
Choose the WM-530B for a timeless design, solid performance, and budget-friendly pricing.
-
Opt for the WM-530P if you’re looking for a polished finish, extra power, and upgraded features.
No matter which model you choose, you can trust Hauslane to deliver a brand new cooking experience!
