Overview
Mounted under a cabinet rather than on the wall, this 36 inch range hood is rated at 900 CFM, with dual motors, a 4-speed fan, and voice, gesture, and touch controls built into a stainless steel and glass panel. It includes a 3-minute delayed shutoff to clear residual fumes after cooking.
This model mounts under a cabinet, with three vent options, rectangular or round top exhaust, or rear rectangular exhaust, to match different duct layouts. The voice control listens for a wake word, and at least one owner found that convenient enough to keep on while another disabled the microphone entirely because they did not want it listening. Dishwasher-safe baffle filters keep the maintenance side simple.
- Under-cabinet mounting
- 4-speed exhaust fan
- 3-minute delayed shutoff
- Tempered glass and stainless steel panel
Who it's for
Works for a cook installing under existing upper cabinets rather than a bare wall, who wants strong suction and does not mind a smart hood with a microphone listening for its wake word, or the option to turn that off.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers report strong suction, straightforward installation with usable vent-direction options, and appreciate the voice control for hands-free operation while cooking. One reviewer found the voice activation more annoying than useful and disabled the microphone, while still rating the hood positively overall for lighting and smoke and steam clearing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 900 CFM suction from dual motors
- Three vent configurations for different duct setups
- Dishwasher-safe baffle filters
- 5-year warranty backing the stainless build
- Voice activation can feel unnecessary or trigger by accident for some owners
Performance notes
Dual motors and a 4-speed fan deliver the 900 CFM rating, with a 3-minute delayed shutoff meant to clear lingering fumes after the burner is off. The three vent configurations, top round, top rectangular, rear rectangular, are meant to fit varied existing ductwork without new construction.
