GE - Profile Series 30" Built-In Electric Cooktop - Black on Black And the GE - Universal 30" Telescopic Downdraft System - Stainless steel are awesome. I love the look and the functionality of both. I recommend the combination of cooktop and down draft system. Perfect !

We’ve had some trouble with the downdraft as it sticks going up and stops halfway up. If we give it a little tug while it’s moving, it will go all the way up. Also, the fan wasn’t working for a little while but seems to be now. Could be a connection issue. Our installer is coming back out to see it it can be tweaked before we contact GE. Cannot say if would recommend yet as we don’t know what the problem is.

It's ok compared to other high end appliance brands. The suction power is not that great due to motor power. It gets the job done but also noisy.

THIS UNIT WAS PURCHASED FOR AN ISLAND APPLICATION, AND IS YOUR ONLY OPTION FOR AN EXHAUST IF YOU DO NOT WANT A HOOD FAN HANGING DOWN FROM THE CEILING. THE ONLY DRAW BACK IS TO THIS UNIT IS THAT IT FREQUENTLY COSTS MORE THAN THE COOKTOP UNIT,

Fit into slot for a Thermador vent that burned out. The installer was able to install the control panel without the manufacturer recommended cutting of the granite counter. Very strong draft.

This is the third exhaust system. The first 2 had the same dimensions and specifications. Installing was a breeze, This new version, the dimensions were changed. Best buy installed the equipment but I had to call in another installer to connect the vent. Nonetheless, it is a great kitchen exhaust system.

  Answer this question
QuestionIs this Compatible with the GE 590827 36” Element Smooth Surface Cooktop? Can it be vented under a raised house? Can the vent unit be installed under the floor under the house? How soon is it available for pick up in Houma, LA 70360? Thx!
Asked 3 years ago by Peetie.
- Answer Hello Peetie - Thank you for reaching out about this excellent downdraft vent. All of our telescopic downdrafts can be used with any of our cooktops. We only recommend looking over the installation dimensions of both appliances to make sure enough room is available in your countertop. The vent can exhaust downward and the ducting can be run under the floor to exit the house. For availability in your area, please reach out to your local Best Buy. Thanks! - John@GEA

QuestionWhat’s difference between UVB30SK vs UVB30DK telescopic downdraft system?
Asked 3 years ago by Downdraft.
- Answer Hello Downdraft, Thanks for reaching out. Great question! The major difference besides the color is in the CFM/sones rating on high speed. On working speed they are the same at 140/2.5. The UVB30SKSS model on high speed is 390/9.0 while the UVB30DKBB model is 370/9.0. We hope this information is helpful. Best wishes. Mike@GEA
