FIREGAS Range Hood Insert 30 inch, Built-in Kitchen Hood with 600 CFM, Ducted/Ductless Convertible Kitchen Vent Hood, Stainless Steel Stove Hood with Push Button, Baffle Filters and Charcoal Filters

* * 4 month update - - sorry to say that the baffles have already started to rust! This was installed in July, used lightly until mid August, then we went out of town for 3 months. It's December now and I just noticed lots of rust spots on 2 of the 3 baffles. I've probably cooked less than a dozen times since this hood was installed so there's no way the rust is something that could be considered "normal". I emailed Firegas, asked to purchase replacement baffles, but was told they do not sell just the baffle replacements. Initially, I was offered a small refund and was told that the rust would not affect performance at all. My issue with this was that if this rust showed up after only 4 months, then as it spreads, it soon will affect functionality. On top of that, this is a brand new hood in my newly renovated kitchen and it already looks old. That's not something that a small refund can assuage. After several pleasant back-and-forths, they agreed to send me out replacement baffles. * * * Unbelievable, unexpected and thrilled with the level of customer service this company has provided. Still love the hood. Disappointed in the rust. Hoping it's just a one-off defect and the new baffles will have better durability. Impressed & pleased with their customer service that always responded within a day - - - sometimes within hours - - - with a pleasant tone and attitude that showed their desire to stand by their product. * * Our contractor had to stress his creative side to fit this into our 36x12x15 cabinet. Though the specs say this is the minimum sized cabinet it will fit in, it took some work and creativity to make it happen. That being said, it's beautiful and works great too. Form and function in one. Notes: - although many insert hoods allow for the lip of the frame to show (much like an upside down drop in/self-rimming sink), this one has screws on the front of the plate that would be visible unless the entire hood is recessed into the cabinet. Our contractor installed the insert with the lip showing, then fashioned a thin 1/2" strip to cover the face and blend with the cabinet. It shows if the cabinet doors are open, but is not noticeable at all with the cabinet doors closed. - realize that the hood takes up 90% of the cabinet so there is no room for storage in there at all. - the 6" duct needs at least 8" height for 90degree installation, so vertical ducting works best if you're limited in vertical clearance within your cabinet. We had to first go vertical up into attic space, then 90degree bend in the attic out thru the exterior wall. - quiet enough on low & med power to still even have a comfortable conversation, yet venting power is still awesome. We cook seafood a lot, and even with our old hood on high (super loud) power, we could still smell fish in the house the next morning. With this hood on medium power, there is no odor even later on that same evening. - love the inset design with nothing jutting out into head space. I can't tell you how many times I'd banged my head on our old, undercabinet hood that jutted out at just the perfect height to line up with my forehead. - bonus lights that are way sufficient enough to cook by and sometimes all I need without having to turn on the rest of the kitchen overhead lights - clean and modern design without led display panels. This is just personal preference, but I really wanted buttons instead of a display panel. The look is minimal and clean and easy to manipulate without looking. I wish it had : - it would be awesome if the lights were either dimmable or at least had dim/med/bright settings b/c it would be great to leave the lights on dim for as a night light. Very happy.

We installed this as part of a kitchen remodel. It fit nicely into the cabinet above the stove after we’d cut away a part of the wood to properly seat the fan. Easily attached to existing ductwork. It works so much better than the previous fan with push button controls, double fans at double the size and double the speed selection. Lamps are well placed and give plenty of light. It was shipped on time in a sturdy reinforced box to protect the fan. This is an excellent product at a very good price. I’m very happy with this fan and its performance.

Works great in my custom built hood. Nice bright lights, and sounds great. Not too loud! Easy to install!

Easy to install. However, the clear blue tape they use to protect it, is very hard to take off. The two lights put out plenty of lights. The fan sound is about average.

I recently upgraded my kitchen with this new range hood insert, and I couldn't be happier! The airflow capacity is absolutely amazing, even when I'm using my pressure cooker. It efficiently removes steam, smoke, and odors, leaving my kitchen fresh and comfortable. Installation was straightforward, and the sleek design fits perfectly with my kitchen aesthetics. The variable speed settings are a fantastic feature, allowing me to adjust the airflow based on my cooking needs. I love how quiet it operates at lower speeds, making it easy to have a conversation while cooking. Overall, this range hood insert has exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for a powerful and stylish solution for your kitchen, I highly recommend giving this a try! It truly makes a difference in maintaining a clean and pleasant cooking environment.

UPDATE: GETTING READY TO INSTALL AND CONTACT THE SELLER ABOUT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. THEY ADVISED THAT INSTRUCTIONS WERE INSIDE THE BAFFLE. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS, TEMPLATE, USER'S MANUAL AND INSTALLATION MATERIALS WERE INCLUDED. I was amazed at the weight of this item for its size. It's definitely made of durable materials and looks sleek and professional quality. Great for a build-in the size is perfect and I like the location and functionality of the push button switches for easy touch control while cooking. It's a perfect size and fit for a 30" stove and easy to clean. There were no installation instructions, but the protection levels taken for shipping were great. A box within a box and structural supports as well as scratch resistant plastic to be removed before installing.

I built a custom range hood vent and used this system, the lights were a bit too white but I found some yellow lights on amazon for $20 that were a quick swap. Overall very happy with the power and quality, keep in mind the inside edges are the vent are extremely sharp so be careful during installation, wear gloves

Had a contractor use this hood for a custom build. Have been using it for about 2 months now with zero issues. It’s well built. Lights are bright and it’s nice to have 3 different vent speeds. We use the lowest level most of the time and it works well while also being quite enough to have a conversation without shouting over the vent noise. It’s also very easy to remove the vents for cleaning.

Excelente producto, se instala fácil y además no interfiere con el estilo de tu cocina.

Great quality. Really sucked taking off the plastic. And the lights are a bit too blue but other than that is great.

Buena calidad, hay que analizar bien como instalarla, tiene buena apariencia y buen funcionamiento.
