Broan Elite EW5830SS 30" Wide Traditional Wall Mount Canopy Hood with 500 CFM Internal Blower Electronic Control and 3-Speed Control in Stainless

I bought this about 2 years ago and ever since have had issues with it switching itself on and off whenever it feels like it, always on the highest and loudest setting. Even with the weakest burner on its lowest setting, the hood freaks out. For these past 2 years, I've been in a little dance with support, who for some reason don't feel they need to send anyone out. First, they claimed it was the remote control receiver being interfered with by other 2.5 Ghz devices. I didn't buy a remote control (because why? I'm right there cooking) so had no idea it had a receiver. They sent a remote. Didn't do anything.Then they said it must be a bad heat sensor. Changing it didn't work. Then they said replace the entire circuit board. That didn't work.Then they blamed the installer, saying that it is "standard practice" to have two feet of conduit before making a turn. This is not included in the installation manual. I brought the HVAC guy back out. He's never heard of such a practice. You can't find reference to it anywhere online either but you can find plenty of videos of professional contractors installing theirs exactly as mine is installed -- about 10 inches up, two 45 degree bends, and out the wall. Fits inside a standard kitchen cabinet. I have never seen one shoot out the top of the cabinet before going through the wall.This is by design and it is a bad one. This is what they refer to as "heat sentry." Well I have measured the temperature up inside the hood with the lowest burner on and it is not even 100 F. This is pretty clearly a poorly designed "feature" but I have discovered that the hood will still work if you completely disconnect the heat sensor so that is what I did. Now it turns on and off only when I tell it to, which is how it should be.Frankly, they've got a lot of gall peddling something this for so much money.

I will start by saying I purchased this fan for my summer home. I have a Kitchenaid "whisper quiet" fan in my main home and LOVE it. There was a big price difference between the two fans. So I went with the Broan. Big mistake. Number 1 fan speed on the Broan is comparable to number 3 on the Kitchenaid. Fan speed 3 is like a tornado!! I should have spent the extra on Kitchenaid. I love to cook so a quiet fan is important. The fan is beautiful and makes quite a statement in my kitchen, I just expected more for performance.

It’s perfect for the kitchen. We use a lot of spices in the kitchen which can cause fumes or us coughing. This works like a charm! It is a little loud, but the efficiency far outweighs the noise. Highly recommend!

Love this hood. We get a lot of positive comments from guest in our home how nice it looks instead of the microwave the builder wanted to put over our stainless steel stove. Not very noisy on the 2 lower speeds and you don't need speeds above that. If you use the higher speed you wouldn't need it on for more than a minute.

There are three light settings, which is great. There are three fan settings, which is great. Works perfectly in our new kitchen.

Performs as advertised. Easy cleaning. Not commercial grade, but good quality for home use. Good value for the price. Great service thru Amazon. Recommend!

I have used it for four days now and truly love it, it lights up my whole kitchen and keeps it smelling good and odor free. Plus it makes my kitchen look beautiful.

Depth on the chimney of 7" wasn't enough to allow for much slop considering the 6" diameter ventilation duct. I'm having a heck of a time installing it cleanly. Otherwise, good fan.Feature request: ultra quiet (and of course low volume) mode in addition to the powerful ones.
