Great product
on February 21, 2016

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were ready to purchase our entire kitchen (Thermador) when we realized that they do not make a 30" low profile island hood ( but we installed it on a wall ). Our alternative was the Bosch.
This hood has a very modern and sleek design.
It is light in weight and easy to install. I installed it myself by the time my husband came home from work.
It came very well protective packaged and also had that protective foil which is best to remove after installation to prevent any scratches. The appliance came with very explicit instructions and also a template that is very handy when you do an one person install.
It has very good suction, which is what this product is supposed to do; it gets louder with the highest level, but not annoyingly loud. I did install it directly to an external wall which I understand can help with the noise. After the install I still had a towel in the air duct to prevent any creatures to get inside the house, I knew it but I still turned the hood on to test and the towel flew about 18 feet across the driveway.
I am only giving 4 Stars on the Design because the Timer feature has no influence on the functions of the exhaust hood. After you select the desired duration for the hood the Timer feature only makes an audible sound once and End appears on the display. It would have been Excellent if the Timer feature would have turned off automatically the hood.
Overall, great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy that we purchased all Bosch appliances for our new home. The Bosch range hood is very handsome - I love the European look and feel. We have a very open floor plan and this hood takes care of any smells.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never have to worry about smoke again! I do a lot of sous vide cooking and the sear creates a significant amount of smoke. This hood has such power it carries the smoke outside with no trouble at all. No moreworries about smoke alarms!

Love my hood!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After decades of putting up with a pop-up vent, we finally replaced our dated kitchen appliances -- with Bosch, of course, including the box chimney hood. I love its fan with variable speeds and the light that is bright and adds brilliance to an otherwise dim corner. Its features make everyday and special-day cooking so much easier. Love, love, love it!

Not recommended for recirculation set up
on May 29, 2015
Posted by: PeterV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an attractive unit, which I have set up in re-circulation mode. It performs relatively well at low speeds (setting 1 or 2 out of 4). At high speeds (settings 3 and 4), there are several major performance problems. First, the noise is unreasonably loud; you can't carry on a conversation. The installer indicated that it would be a little quieter if the unit is exhausted to the outside. Second, at high speeds, the exhaust at the top of the chimney creates a back draft that causes the cooking smoke to be pulled away from the hood and directed into the kitchen. The installer said this might also be solved with venting to the outside. For these two reasons, the hood has limited functionality in the re-circulation mode; it works okay at low speeds, but not at high speed settings.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Quality Control issues
on December 4, 2020
Posted by: Tikidad
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Brand new out of the box and the fan motor is rubbing on the housing. It took over 2 weeks for warranty service. Shane the technician was great, as he brought a new motor with him. Once he opened the box we noticed that it was also rubbing on the housing. He said he would order 2 just to be safe. Now we wait for parts to travel from North Carolina to California. We still have not used our hood........
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
