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.

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

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.

Building my house. This insert has a strong fan. My daughter was standing under the outside wall vent and her hair was blowing from the force which was 8’ above her head. I’m sure it will work perfectly when we get the kitchen finished. Very happy with it. You can plug it in however I hard wired it. Looks great!

I love this kitchen hood! It looks nice, has easily removed grates for cleaning, and works well. I like that is has real buttons for the fan/light control. Only thing I would change, is I would like the option to dim the lights, as they are very bright!

Great lights, works great, fits great inside the wood frame I built. Easy to clean the filters. So much better not having a microwave over our range

We had been looking for a hood for a long time, but they were all too big for our space. Finally found this one that fits into the soffit. 3 speed settings and some much needed light for the cooktop. Easy install with 2 exhaust options. Great value for the price. Recommend.

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.
