KitchenAid - 30 inches - Convertible - Wall Range Hood - Stainless Steel

We’re huge KitchenAid fans so when we remodeled our kitchen we went with them again. We changed from a 30” KitchenAid microwave above the stove to this vent hood. Oddly, this Vent Hood did not fit between the old cabinets we refaced. Whereas microwaves are 29-7/8” in width, this hood was a fat 30” that lead to some unexpected challenges. Also, the LED lights are located at the front of the unit as opposed to the rear on our previous microwave, which is resulting in a shadow on our featured mosaic backsplash. Also, these LED lights are very blue in nature…perhaps 5-6000K and do not match our 3000K color under cabinet lighting. These are 2 details we were not aware of, and I have gone so far as to contact KitchenAid to see if there are options to correct this. Finally, we bought an expensive extension kit so we could intersect our vaulted ceiling. It is a 2-piece construction like the original, so you get stuck with a seam anyway. For what we spent, we would have preferred a more aesthetically pleasing 1-piece extension. Outside of those issues, we do believe it is a well built product. The fan is reasonably quiet (about just what we expected) and does not need additional make-up air for proper function. In the end if I’m being honest, we’re probably a little disappointed given what it cost us to purchase and have a qualified installer install it (Best Buy does not offer installation for these), along with the aesthetics. I might look at other models or brands to get these details correct…gets a mild recommendation.

I have been impressed with the KitchenAid line for some time so when I remolded my kitchen this was the first thing I bought to go with my new KitchenAid range. Vented to the outside it will move cooking odors out quickly. Simple and easy to use, filters are easy to replace or take out to clean. One of the best on the market.

Great range hood..does the job..my wife cooks alot so that 600cfm comes in handy..some people complain about it being noisy but i think its normal obviously the higher the speed is the noisier it will get..has 3 different speeds..been having for a week now & wife is happy..me too since she is lol. Has 3 filters

The first unit arrived and the latch for the filter cover was broken and it took another 2 weeks to get a replacement. The fan looks good and has a fine amount of suction but not as strong as I would like.

This isn't a great product as we expected a lot from Kitchen Aid. The functionality is good, but sometimes the fan produces weird noise and then going normal automatically. Timer doesn't work! It don't turn off automatically after the time is done.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Kitchenaid really came through with this one. It's definitely one of the top exhaust systems that actually works. We are very satisfied with this.
