I really wanted a hood with a chimney for the appearance in our new kitchen. This hood looks fantastic. It was easy to install and vent. Read the instructions carefully, buy the required additional parts and pay close attention to the template. Extremely happy with the lights and fan functionality.

Honestly purchased this item because it was the only hood range available at the time of my kitchen remodel. Every item was sold out due to the pandemic remodeling craze. But now I’m glad I purchased. It has the same look, feel and accomplishes exactly what I need. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles but is all that you need; light and fan (low and high). Good value for the money.
My other appliances are LG stainless steel and this Whirlpool stainless steel is very similar if not exact to my other appliances.
I had it professionally installed with my other remodel items so I can’t speak to the ease of the installation. FYI - I had the contractors fix the placement of the hood range. It is
Contactless delivery was perfect. I was kept updated and reminded several times of the delivery. Love Best Buy!

Lights are super bright and light up cooking area very well. Fan easily clears smoke steam and odors very well while also being surprisingly quiet. Installation was pretty straight forward and easy enough if you have mechanical knowledge. Does not include the tubing that goes through the wall to the outside but the damper it comes with seems to work pretty well. Looks great, definitely a nice upgrade to the cabinet/over the range microwave we had before.

This is a really nice hood but the packaging left a little to be desired. Unfortunately the filter screen and chimney came damaged. My contractor installed it for us in our new home and we didn’t have a good opportunity to take a look at it before installation. Now that it is up, we are happy to have it but disappointed to see the damage that it has on it. Again, we like the hood and it functions really well, but it’s going to now cost us more money to get the chimney replaced

A quality product that works well and looks nice. Build quality is right in line with what you would expect. The dedicated buttons give you enough flexibility to get the job done. A knob or dial instead of buttons might have been a more appropriate choice to dial in settings.

This is simply the quietest hood out there and it turns over an unbelievable amount of air even on the lowest setting (which you really have to listen for to hear. On top of function, it looks awesome as well. If you are going to vent through the roof or out a wall, installation is quite straight forward. The template for drilling the mounting holes makes life easy - no measuring or guess work. Mounting through tile or granite, use hardware store 1/4" anchors with the right size sheet metal screws. Mounting to plasterboard, the 10mm provided anchors will be more than secure. If you are replacing an under cabinet hood (you have to remove the cabinet, obviously), you may have a bit of an engineering nightmare, as most of those have 7x4" rectangular vents in the wall, then going up from there through the roof. You will have to cut out (a die grinder is needed) the old vent (and plasterboard covering) all the way up to where the new soffit will be. Broan Nutone makes an adapter that goes from the rectangular vent to the 6" circular vent which this hood has (Part number 411 Transition). Flexible 6" vent line from the transition part to the hood makes this a bit easier, but you will still have to cut away a lot of plasterboard to angle the flexible vent tubing all the way out of the wall interior to where the hood will be. Then, you will have to fill in the cut out space (I used foam) and then install pieces of new plaster board. This whole process is not for the timid and we even had a few professionals refuse to take it on. Fortunately, I am the Rube Goldberg type and actually did a pretty good job considering the difficulty factor. Of course, you can always choose a non-venting configuration (which as you may surmise isn't great getting rid of exhaust fumes). Of course, if the hood is mostly for decoration rather than function (your wife makes reservations, rather than actually cooks), that will work. Anyway, overall this hood looks and works every bit as good, or better, as the ones costing 3x as much and from manufacturers that you do not know. Just my .02.

Has been very surprising.. I admit we were skeptical at first due to the price. However it has lived up to our expectations. Not only does it not leave fingerprints but is so elegant to look at. The lighting is more than adequate and you can barely here the vent when it is on. It has a very sleek but not bulky design and does compete with the high end companies out there. Don’t be afraid of the low end price ...it will definitely surprise you with its performance.

Purchased this whirlpool convertible range hood, awesome quality and easy installation. Just a heads up if you choose to install it without an external vent pipe (the pipe that goes through your ceiling, attic and out the roof) you will need to purchase the recirculation kit, the kit itself works great also and easy to install. Strong bright LED lights and strong fan on medium.

Installed in my kitchen. It works great, but I wish it would have fit my 10 foot ceilings better. Had to by the extended kit and it was expensive! Fan and lights are great though

Great price for this product - purchased it after reading the reviews
Have yet to install it - remodeling kitchen - Can be used with or without an existing vent - Wanted that option in case it wasn't able to be installed because of the location and placement of the beams in the ceiling.

WOW, this works so good that you can smell the food outside when I'm cooking. We had it on high and lit a candle and you could see the smoke being pulled thru the hood. It has 3 different speeds and its not very loud. Highly recommend this item.

Bought the hood. Picked it up at the store. Got home and opened the box. All of the stainless steel was missing the protective coating they ship it with. It also had scratches on it. It was obvious that this one was purchased and opened up before me. Took it back to the store and they ordered a new one. Picked that one up when it came in. This was packaged like it was supposed to be from the factory. Installed it. Lights are very bright and it sucks really hard. It’s pretty quiet on low and medium. High is a little noisy but come on it’s a hood and it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. It’s better than paying double the money for other brands that do the same thing. It looks great too!

Has an industrial strength high fan, but most of the time the lower speeds work very well so the high speeds aren't in use very often. Very stylish in our newly remodeled kitchen. The LED lights add a nice high tech touch.

Love the look of the hood, but the buttons feel cheep. I vented it outside and that is the way to go.

It was relatively easy to install by ourselves, and looks terrific! It is quiet and efficient and 10,000 times better than my old hood.
