Q: QuestionWe have an existing 30" KitchenAid downdraft system that has broke and we need to replace. The model we currently have is KIRD801HSS-0. It appears that it is no longer manufactured. Would this model be the newer model that we would want to replace with?

Q: QuestionIs this the strongest CFM for the ventilation fan ? Does it get rid of strong aromas like garlic ?

Asked 8 years ago by TK.

• A:Answer It is strong ventilation. It has control vent levels . It does get rid of the cooking Smell. The best part of the range hood is that it doesn’t let food Aromas or frying smell to go In The Air, the vent grabs it as it cook as long as you turn the vent on before you start cooking. We do use lot of spices in our food but my wife always have candle on too while She cook.
