Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had to buy thos model as it's the only one i could find that matched my appliances. Slate. The price was right so i bit. Installation was a breeze. The brackets fit onto the cabinets and the unit lined up perfectly. At 19 lbs, you may want a second set of hands. The wiring was simple, and had plenty of room to do the work. Baffle is included as is mounting hardware. Adapter for verticle vent is also included, i needed rear exhaust so i cannot say how well that works but it's definitely sturdy. The plastic block plate that you need to swap in to make it exhaust instead of recirculate is a weird fit when unit is already hung, so either do the swap prior to installation or just drop the shroud surrounding the fan and put it in then. It has tabs that it must be locked in or it is going to wobble and bleed air. The grease screens fit securely, and they supposedly can be machine washed, I'm not sure how confident i would be with the plastic tabs not breaking. The unit itself isn't exactly flimsy, but is subject to the vibrations caused by the fan. The lights definitely wiggle on the boost setting. Hopefully this won't affect bulb life. The lighting is halogen bulbs, so it gives a warm lighting effect. The bulbs have high and low setting. Both get darned hot. I would prefer a white LED both for light output and heat diminishing, but have not researched into what that would take at this point. The fan itself has 4 settings. Low, medium, high, and boost. I measured the noise with a phone app from about 2 feet away, basically where i stand to cook and they are as follows: Low-38 decibels. Medium-45 decibels. High-56 decibels. Boost-59 decibels. The suction power of the fan is superior to the 20 year old broan unit it's replacing. It definitely reduces smoke and cooking smells, so it is working well in that regard. As others have mentioned, the fan is positioned to the left side, so suction is focused there. Pros: •simple assembly •inexpensive •it works well Cons. •pretty loud •hot halogen lights In conclusion, I'm happy with the unit itself, but if i ever redo the kitchen, i will be upgrading to a different type of hood fan.

I’m extremely disappointed with this range hood. Right out of the box, the unit had visible scratches on the stainless steel, which made it look used or poorly handled. On top of that, the mesh filter was damaged—it was bent and even had a hole in it, which is completely unacceptable for a new product. To make matters worse, the remote control was missing entirely from the package, even though it’s supposed to be included. This just shows a serious lack of quality control. Another big issue is the return policy. The return window is only 15 days from the order date—not even the delivery date—which is very inconvenient and unfair, especially if you don’t install it immediately. Overall, this product feels cheaply handled and incomplete. Between the damage, missing parts, and restrictive return policy, I would not recommend it. Best but customer service is not at all helpful.

Spot welds along the top edges result in shallow but large indentations in the steel. That's only really noticeable when the light reflects off it, but it seems like a problem that shouldn't be there at all. See photo. The whole thing came with the standard plastic film to protect the metal. What was unexpected was the marks it left on the metal (see photo). That took a lot of cleaner and elbow grease to get rid of. Fan on left side works OK. I'm have it installed about 23" over the cook top, so it vents well from all the burners. I can see if you have it mounted a lot closer to the cooktop, you might have problems venting from the right side burners. As others mentioned, the halogen lights get hot. Not sure why anyone still uses those instead of LEDs these days. But that is what is in the description, so can't fault it for that. However, they don't light the cook top evenly - back burners are where I need more light, but they have much less than the front ones. Overall seems a little over priced considering welding and cleanup issues, plus it doesn't include charcoal filters

Not you top of the line or special in any kind. The only reason I went with this one is because I wanted to match my other appliances and get rid of the microwave. The fan on this unit works, however like many other consumers reported issues with light not working, well I am one of them too. I attempted changing the light bulbs from one to another and still didn’t work, so it’s the wiring inside. Another knock down is that the metal trim that goes around the light came rusted. Unit was delivered on 12/30/2019

We have it installed as a ventless over a range. Even when it’s on high it doesn’t suction any air into the filters. As a matter of fact, it feels like the fan is blowing down not drawing air up. See the flame being blown when held up to the fan and the smoke not going up just staying around the napkin when held down by the cooktop. All recommendations for distance were followed. It’s worse when you put in the charcoal filter. Don’t waste your money, we’ll be buying a different one. The lights work well.

Love it looks great, very quite nice look over my new stove bring out my kitchen

It came in with a scratch, and one light was not working.

I chose no microwave above the stove and I just love the 2 lights on either side of this range hood. It was hard-wired in by my contractor and the install was easy

Tommy is a great service. He is a hard working man and details with customer. Thank you for your hard. My kitchen is very nice.

I bought this hood vent to exhaust the air outside the house, not to recirculate the air inside the house with filters. This hood vent has both options. Here are the reasons why I hate this hood vent: 1) They include a flimsy little plastic to cover the air opening for the inside-the-house recirculation. By covering this opening, it directs the air towards the exhaust. They include a cheap flimsy plastic piece of junk that doesn't even attach on properly. After one month it snapped off. This is a design problem, and trust me, I'm an engineer. But even if you aren't, it is obvious to any person that this part doesn't fit the opening well. I remedied this by sealing the opening with duct tape and it works much better than plastic junk. But I shouldn't have to do this. How difficult is it to manufacture an accessory that fits snug?! This is a major appliance made by GE, not some 50 cent toy that breaks after a month. Refer to the picture. 2) When using the fan on full blast, the lights vibrate too much which gets really annoying. When you're trying to cook food, you see the lights wobbling back and forth on the range and fry pan, which makes it really distracting. 3) The fan is placed on the left side of the hood, not the center. Since I'm right handed, I cook most of my food on the right burner of my cooktop. This prevents all of the food smoke and grease from getting 100% exhausted. The whole point of spending hundreds of dollars for ductwork was so that I could exhaust all of the smoke. This product is so bad that it can't even do the sole function that it was made to do properly. Refer to the picture and see how the grease marks are only on the left side. 4) The fan is too noisy. BestBuy says it's 7 decibels. No it's not! Maybe 70? But regardless, I knew it couldn't be 7, but still, it's just too noisy. 5) They use halogen lights which gets hot and heats up your face while you cook. I wouldn't mind if it's hot and could be used as a food warmer, but its too far away from the cooktop, and too close to your head/face. Why couldn't they just use LED lights to save electricity and not have heat?

Light stopped working 6 weeks after installing. Shoddy manufacturing.

It's a nice price point, but had some issues initially. the light fixtures were loose upon receipt. Nowhere did the description explain there's only a single big fan on the left. There are 2 screens just like our previous GE hood which had 2 flans. I was annoyed at first but it does work well enough. I even put an air quality monitor next to it to verify. It's more quiet than our previous 13 yo model. I did buy a charcoal filter even though it vents outside which requires screws (not provided). The manual that it comes with so laughably vague about how to change the bulbs because it covers like 10 models which are all different. I would suggest replacing the bulbs with LEDs because the ones it comes with get VERY hot and the hue is an unpleasant yellow. The bulbs are GU22 which are probably the most annoying to install. They also are a bit harder to find. I know because my house is filled with them as they're supposed to be more energy efficient.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I ordered this, but wow — I’m impressed! From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell it was made with quality in mind. Installation was simple, the design is sleek, and it performs exactly as promised (if not better). It’s one of those rare purchases that actually makes everyday life easier. I find myself recommending it to friends and family because it’s that good. If you’re on the fence, just go for it — you’ll be glad you did!

Great upgrade from our previous black builder grade spec vent system. Easy to instal. Looks smart. Love the halogen lights.

This did not come with a cord. Called parts and they said they didn't make the cord anymore. Called GE appliances and they had the cord we could purchase. How do you sell a product that you don't make the cord for anymore? We didn't have the option to hard wire. The item itself is quite nice. Its a nice size, quiet and easy to use. The lights are bright but get hot. Once we got the cord we were happy with the purchase.

This replaced a microwave oven/hood. Install was easy for me, and everything I needed was shipped with the unit, except for the cord to plug it in. Looks nice, lights and fan works so much better than the the two microwaves we previously had.

I recently upgraded my kitchen with the GE 30" Convertible Range Hood in Stainless Steel, and let me tell you, it's become my kitchen's new superhero! Firstly, the stainless steel finish gives my kitchen a fresh and modern vibe, making it feel like a whole new cooking haven. Cleaning up after those messy family dinners is a breeze – just a quick wipe, and it sparkles like new. Now, let's talk performance. This range hood is a true champion when it comes to clearing out all those cooking scents and steam. It's like having a breath of fresh air in the heart of my home. The fan has different speeds, so I can adjust it based on what's cooking, and the bright lights underneath are like a spotlight for my culinary adventures. Installation was surprisingly mom-friendly – no complicated steps that required a science degree! Plus, it operates quietly, so I can keep an ear out for the kids while preparing our family meals. In a nutshell, the GE 30" Convertible Range Hood is not just an appliance; it's become my trusty kitchen sidekick. It adds that extra touch of style and functionality, making every meal prep a delight. Highly recommended for all the kitchen-loving moms out there! Cheers,

Range Hood. We replaced the one in our kitchen (that was 30 years old). Love this new one, it's so quiet yet powerful and very nice looking.

Works great and easy install. Only 3 wires to rehook. Quite and efficient.

This hood vent is convertible. I have a ductless system and this vent is certainly doing its job. It offers multi speeds and runs quiet. Installation was a bit tricky but came along nicely. The lighting is good too. It has two options of light. It looks very nice. I am pleased with this purchase.
