Why Kitchens Need Ventilation.Fresh salmon fillets are reason enough. But that's really just a start. Because cooking smoke and greasy build-up are more than unpleasant. They're unhealthy.

Great Module
Posted: 10/29/09
Pros: great air flow suction looks good, easy access to filters for cleaning Cons: none
"Great unit! We wanted a seamless line on our upper cabinet units. We pulled out our old vent hood and installed this module inside the upper cabinet to flush mount to the bottom exterior of the cabinet. It looks great and works great! The filters are easy to access and clean."

This thing Sucks!
Posted: 5/1/09
Pros: great performance with expected noise level., filter removal is quick & easy! Cons: just not crazy about switch placement.
"Sorry to be so obviously "tongue in cheek", but this blower is fantastic! It has so much suction, it quickly clears the room. While installing it, I was outside and had my wife turn it on, it nearly blew my hat off!
Also during construction, they were cutting the granite for the cooktop. I pulled the filter off and the blower quickly cleared the air of the dust the shopvac was not collecting. Not sure how Broan feels about this, but it worked great just the same.
I am not crazy about the placement of the switches, but this is a preference gripe. The unit is not overly loud, especially when you consider the amount of air it is moving. With our last Over the Range exhaust fan, you had to be sure to shut it off prior to dining, it was annoying.
I cannot say enough good things about this unit. Believe me guys, my friends were impressed. It is like a great tool out in the garage, you want to show your friends how well it performs.
These reviews tend to always be negative in nature, but trust me, you will not be disappointed in this unit. Hope my title caught your attention. The only reason I gave it 4 stars on appearance is the switches, but again, it is a personal preference. The switches work just fine.
If you are installing this yourself, like me, be sure to measure before hand. I had to do some adjusting to get it to fit. Talk with your cabinet guy before you rough it in or work on the ducting. Good luck."

Excellent vent
Posted: 2/9/09
Pros: air movement Cons: has a little bit of noise.
"I am well pleased with the vent. It really moves the air and the noise isn't that loud on low. Which is enough for most cooking. I have fried shrimp twice with very little smell inside the house. I would recommend this event to anyone.
Great Product"

Awsome Value
Posted: 10/13/08
Pros: price, sound level is resonable, easy install Cons: silver not stainless, controls are tough to find if not looking at them
"I purchased this hood insert when I remodeled my kitchen. I shopped for several weeks on line and could not find a better deal than this. Others that I looked at were at least twice the price. The finish is silver and not stainless, so that was probably part of the price difference. However, once it is tucked up under the hood, you never see it unless you make a point to. It cleans up real well with a sponge. The lighting is adequate and the fan works real well. I have not needed it on high even when pan frying fish. The controls are a little tough to access, but for half the price and the amount of time you actually use the hood, it is worth having to look up to find them. It also installed super easy, just slide it into the liner, plug it in, and connect the duct..and your cooking!"

It's small but does the job
Posted: 3/2/08
"I chose this Broan because it was the only vent small enough to fit into my space above the cooktop. It works better than the downdraft Jenn-air that I had previously. Given that I have induction and not gas, the pull is sufficient and I am pleased with the purchase."

Broan Range Hood Fan
Posted: 8/24/07
"This is a great compact and quite powerful range hood fan and light combo. Has a temperature sensor that will automatically turn on the fan should something on the stove get too hot. Only small complaint is that the light has only one setting, which is not a big issue. [...]"

Inexpensive...
Posted: 8/20/07
"I like the face removal, dual light feature and the 390 CFM capacity. However the face finish (grey/silver) is cheap looking and the fan is loud. The filter screen is also poorly fit. This product is inexpensive, so don't expect too much."
