Overview
A 28 inch ducted range hood insert built to mount inside custom cabinetry rather than stand as its own visible hood, made from brushed 430 stainless steel with a 4-speed fan.
Because it is an insert, the finished look comes from the surrounding cabinet rather than the unit itself, which several buyers said let it fit dimensions that off-the-shelf hoods did not match. Fan speed tops out at 400 CFM across four settings, and installation brackets were the most common friction point reviewers described.
- 4-speed fan, up to 400 CFM
- Brushed 430 stainless steel construction
- Dishwasher-safe baffle filters
- 3-year parts warranty, lifetime motor warranty
Who it's for
Suited to a kitchen remodel or custom cabinet build where a hood needs to disappear behind millwork rather than show a stainless exterior. Not the right pick for anyone wanting a simple surface-mount hood with straightforward bracket installation.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who fit it into custom cabinet openings said it looked seamless and cleared cooking odor quickly, with dishwasher-safe filters making upkeep easy. The main complaints were noise at higher speeds and confusing mounting brackets that one buyer solved by improvising screw placement; one unit had its buttons fail and stick after about two months of use.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Clears cooking odor quickly at higher speeds per reviewers
- Dishwasher-safe baffle filters simplify cleaning
- Fits custom cabinet openings other hoods do not match
- LED lighting covers the cooktop below
- Mounting brackets were confusing to install for some buyers
- Gets noticeably loud at higher fan speeds
- Push-button controls failed for one buyer after 2 months
Performance notes
The 4-speed fan runs from 120 up to 400 CFM, moving air through dishwasher-safe stainless baffle filters and out a 6 inch duct connection at the top. Push-button controls handle both fan speed and the built-in LED lighting from one panel.
