Works great for about a year. Then touch button board dies. I've had mine break twice. Outside warranty and it costs half the cost of a new unit to replace just the button board. Looking for an alternative that matches my other GE Profile products. Very frustrating.

We would like to help with your hood. An agent will be reaching out to you via email, please respond at your earliest convenience.
The stovetop hood is attractive. It draws exhaust from the left side of the stovetop nicely but draws very little from the right side. I confirmed this by putting a small piece of paper towel next to the right grease filter and then under the left grease filter. I can NOT understand why GE would design, build and distribute a stovetop hood that does not exhaust evenly from both sides!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We hate to hear that your new vent hood isn’t drawing evenly on both sides. We want to help. We suggest taking a look at the article below for more information.
If you have checked your installation and are still having the same issue, we recommend having your unit diagnosed by a qualified technician. You can schedule service by calling 1-800-432-2737 or by going to https://www.geappliances.com/ge/service-and-support/service.htm.
This vent hood looks very good. The performance is very lacking. First, there is a metal flap that opens and closes when the vent is turned on. This makes a very loud racket when flapping open and closed. Second, the vent motor is on the left side so that is where all the suction is. No suction at all for the right side. Third, the construction of parts around the motor is plastic for the housing and ducting. The ducting is only held on with a few screws. I had my vent hood to vent outside. There is a cover to be installed so air is directed outside instead of out the vents on top of the unit. The problem is that those plastic pieces are not very well fitting that air still get pushed out the top. Lastly, the most annoying point of all.... When cooking the grease is on the fan and the circular housing. The grease will drip back down onto the stove and whatever pot/food that you happen to have under the fan.

Functions well, nice light, powerful fans. Stainless finish is not the best version, once I had it installed we realized the stainless steel panels were warped.
