Range Hood Insert 30 inch, Ducted/Ductless Range Hood with Gesture Sensing & Touch Control, Built-in Kitchen Hood 600CFM, 2 Pcs Stainless Steel Baffle Filters

After spending way too much time reading reviews and comparing products.I bought this vent hood fan. With so many out there it was really hard to choose. I'm really happy that I chose the one I did. The vent hood arrived in very good condition.No scratches or dents. It works great and moves a lot of air. It has 2 lights on the underside, which are wonderful at getting just that little extra light while you're cooking or using as a night light. I also like that it has five little buttons that let you turn on the light and the intensity of the air suction. My old one, you just had to keep clicking 1 button until you got to the setting you wanted. Also, even knowing it has very strong suction, the noise level is not nearly as bad as many.I have heard. My husband was able to install this himself with no difficulty. I feel like that.It was a very good value for the amount of money that was spent. Because of the nature of my cabinets and the hood vent, this item cannot be seen by other people.But I feel like that.It has a very sleek design and that it does look very nice inside of its spot. I would recommend this product to others.

I bought this insert to install in the hood my husband built for our kitchen remodel. It works great, is very quiet, and the lights are bright. It was easy to install.

Works great! But DON’T TRUST THE MEASUREMENTS IN INSTRUCTIONS! Just removing a star because the measurements for the cut out in instructions was wrong! But enough that I had to redo it all and waste quite a bit of material. So make sure you measure the actually vent and not trust the instructions. I took a picture to show where the measurements were off!

Not installed yet but looks great and appears as described.

Works as expected. No concerns.

We just installed this 36-inch range hood insert, and so far it’s working great. It looks great. We’re loving it already!

This hood fit my new cabs perfectly. Vibrations are kind of loud compared to my microwave/vent. I like this has a variety of settings and instead of just on off, and I really appreciate the light as well.

Out of the box, I was initially happy with this exhaust fan. I set it on my counter and plugged it in, and cycled through the buttons. A little loud on 3, but that is fine. As I was just starting my kitchen remodel, it went back in the box for when I was ready to install it. Fast forward to installation times, and upon reviewing the instructions, I realized that there were things that didn’t match up in the manual. First, there is a clear plastic piece that is not mentioned anywhere in the manual. After toiling over reviews, videos, etc. I came to the conclusion that it is probably a grease catch. There is a spot on the bottom of the motor that it fits onto. The ONLY reason I figured that out is by watching installation videos for OTHER brands of range hoods. I posted a picture of it, looking up from underneath. Second, I had lots of difficulty taking the outer panel off. Specifically, the plugs for the lights and switches were almost impossible to unplug. I busted my knuckles getting the lights unplugged, and I never got the switch plug apart. Using pliers to get a better grip just started to mangle the plastic plug, so instead I unscrewed the actual switches from the panel. Third, and most importantly, DO NOT use the template to cut your opening!! I made the mistake of believing that it would actually fit perfectly if I used the template, but it made the hole too big! Like, a good 3/4” too big. Luckily, I am building the enclosure from scratch, and was able to modify it, but. I used that template to save time (against my better judgment), and ended up wasting time having to start over. Trust me, throw that template away the minute you unpack the unit, and measure the opening yourself. Also, once you get that panel off, the edges are SHARP! Like, it should be mentioned in the safety section of the manual kind of sharp. Remember how I said I busted my knuckles trying to get the light plugs apart? Yeah, my hands are all cut up now. Onward to actual installation, now that the opening is the correct size: They give you 12 screws. And mention 12 spots to secure the range hood. But there are only 4. Not twelve.. FOUR. Trust me, I looked all over for other areas to screw this thing in. Nope. Four. Getting this thing installed was easy once I had everything the correct size (I’m still fuming about that), but do yourself a favor and add gloves and long sleeves to the list of tools you will need. I’ve come to the conclusion that you have to possess a fair amount of problem solving skills to install this thing yourself. The instructions are obviously printed for every single model of exhaust hoods in their line, and you cannot rely on them for some models. I guess they just didn’t want to go to the expense of printing an instruction manual for each style..? Regardless, after all of that… a bunch of sweating, bleeding, and swearing- and lots of reading/watching videos, I’m happy to finally have an exhaust fan for my kitchen. Lawd help me if a bulb goes out, though.
