Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the 30" Convertible Range Hood, particularly its overall performance and appealing appearance. The lighting options, ease of use, and quiet operation on low settings are also well-received. However, some customers have experienced difficulties with the installation process, and the range hood does not include a charcoal filter.

    Bad design. Sharp corners that you can bump your head on. Outdated Halogen lamps. Old hood better design, wish you would have just copied it.

    We love our new vent hood!

    The vent hood works great and fit perfectly in our installation. We replaced a 30 year old vert hood and had no issues. He have not yet tried to clean the filter, but it is going to be easy to remove and run it thru the dishwasher.

    Poor Design

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Doesn't really deserve a one even. Fairly flimsy for the price ... light is very poor and got really hot ... fan does just ok. The worst is the design of the vent ... the location of it is just totally wrong!! It's only about 1/2 in from the back of the unit .... whereas the old hood vent was 1 1/2 inches from the back. Installed exactly as shown and stated in the instructions on a recessed bottom cabinet, so I had to use the brackets. It would not line up with the screws from the old hood. Put the brackets on, hung the unit only to find out the rectangular vent was snugly flush with the back of the cabinet, making it physically impossible to connect the adapter on the vent duct from the roof. So I had to take it down, move the brackets as far forward as I could ... which made them too long, sticking out from under the cabinet, which then had to be trimmed off. Even the screws provided were just barely long enough to hold (so far!)Also, the cutouts were very poor ... had to bend the hood up in several places just to get it out, and only one screw hole for the rectangle vent. The thing is, by the time you get to where you see the results of the poor vent placement ... it's too late to take it back or do anything about it!

    Piece of plastic junk

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Got the whole thing mounted, turned it on and the fan rubs horribly against the plastic housing. So I take the thing down again. Have to remove all the plastic housing and adjust it. Of course if you take it down then the screws tend to strip because they also are cheap junk. Had to find new screws, now stupid thing is lopsided because metal mounting plate holes are also mangled and won't hold firm, also mounting plates were bent from the start. Now going to have to run holes through the metal to firmly secure it. Still could not replace every screw back in the cheap plastic housing or the fan hits it which isn't very helpful considering I'm externally venting the stupid thing. Only positive thing I can say it is realtivly quiet once the fan isn't hitting the plastic housing, and it does look nice once actually in place. Hope it dies soon so I can get something better, probably can't return it at this point since I had to disassemble the whole entire thing and put it back together and have destroyed the metal housing having to mount and dismount it. Don't waster your money on this.

    Looks nice. Fingerprints clean off easily. Bright light. Only good things about this! Like others have said, fan is on left side not centered. Doesn’t make any sense why they’d do that. Whenever I cook on right side of stove it doesn’t suck the air out properly. Have had less than 2 years and the motor stopped working. My last fan lasted 16 years! Not even 2 for this. Buy another brand!

    Installation

    Rated 1 out of 5 stars

    Defective. Poor assembly.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’d like to write you with a recent terrible experience with the JVX 5300. We just tried to install it. My husband does mechanical installations on yachts for a living, so it should have been straightforward. The fan was crooked — rubbing on the housing - attached with a stripped out screw. He fixes that - seemed easier than a return - and an hour later - the hood is screwed in. Won’t work. Turns out a black power wire wasn’t attached to anything inside the hood. Without a wire diagram, not included, there’s no way to try to correctly attach it. It left the factory without even being correctly assembled for installation. So, while the parts were all included - technically - it was assembled at the factory in such a haphazard and zero quality control way - its impossible to install and is defective. Very disappointed with the product. It is unbelievable that the GE name is on it.

    Avoid this range hood

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The first unit was damaged, the second unit was missing the grease filters. The last unit, the blower housing was missing several screws and I had to find screws for it. The carbon filter was to be mounted to blower housing with two screws, both were missing. I had to drill housing to mount filter with my own screws. GE Mexico has some serious quality control issues. I do not recommend this product.

    Disappointing Start

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This was the last piece of our kitchen to be converted over to Stainless Steel. I needed a recirculating range hood since our existing range hood is unvented. The hood comes configured by default in recirculating mode. In reading the manual it states that if you are going to use in recirculating mode you "MUST" use the charcoal filter. The issue is that the product does not ship with the filter. This is not a filter that you can find in any retail store you must order from GE. I contacted GE to order a filter which will take a week to get here. I have a nice looking new range hood that that I can not use for a week now.

    Purchased two years ago. Sounds like a jet when the fans are running. Lights are hard to change. One light keeps falling out. Yesterday I noticed the fan is rattling.

    The lights went out. The plastic frames that hold the light bulbs are very flimsy. I deserve my money back.
