What a change
on May 14, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
from Minneapolis, MN
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took out a useless microwave with a recycling exhaust fan and installed the new kitchen aid fan. Normally I do not read instructions, but I found these very helpful. The hardest part was cutting out the the bottom of the existing cabinet and the hole in the top for the vent pipe. Even so I had the unit in and through the ceiling in about an hour and a half. I put in the pipe and insulated it to the roof. I chickened out about cutting a hole in my roof and spent a week trying to find a roofer to put on the roof vent. I can now cook bacon inside and even use the wok without stinking up the house. It was definitely worth the effort.

Great range hood quite, but tricky to install.

I would have given this a five start except for the poor install instructions. My cabinet depth is 14" versus the standard 12". A templet would have been very helpful alining the hood and the instructions better explained. After removing the old range hood I had a gap on the back wall. I first had to add tile up the back splash so that after the install the new hood would fit tight against it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the LED light — so bright. The ease of cleaning the filters and the different settings of the fan are really good features. Fan is so quiet compared to what I had before.

Tricky install, performs great

Kitchen Aid Range Hood
Glad to have bought all Kitchen Aid appliances finally. The Range Hood, as with the others I’d well designed with common sense features, with a few improvements the Range Hood would be easier to install. Firstly the power cord would be best connected at the side of the unit, current position at top was inconvenient for install & location. Secondly the installation bracket segment of the installation instructions is incorrect, position 3 did not work for my 5/8 cabinet so I used position 4 as if it were 3/4 & still needed the washers. The description for step 3 on page 11 is brief but not wrong, the illustration unfortunately confounds everything. Contrary to the illustration I had to notch the bottom of the back of the cabinet so the bracket could be installed higher with the flat section at the base of the lower bracket just beneath the cabinet side panel edges as in pic after install as in pic. I had to remove & redo bracket location 4 times dry fitting everything with the cabinet off the wall to ensure a snug fit. The 4 hooks to suspend the unit until final positioning completed is ingenious but of course complicated the equipment & therefore this part of the installation. Hope this helps!

quiet, sleek, nice task lights

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted an undercounter hood and I had existing cabinets and traditional hoods were too low. This one fill the need but required significant installation modifications for me. I like the 3 speed fans and its quiet on high compared to my previous microwave vent hood. The task lights are nice with two settings. Wish there was a even a lower settings. Generally I am very pleased and one downgraded one star because it was not easy to install. I wish I could give a 4.5 rating because I like the look and function after installed.

Could be better product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] During the installation I discovered that the flap was installed the wrong way, namely opposite and upon air flow it blocked the pipe. Had to reverse it manually.
Second and most irritating is that after few month the motor started creating screeching and whining noise when it was put to Medium speed. I'm a loyal client to Kitchenaid and this is second product that made me think properly before I buy Kitchaid product

Quiet, effective, very sleek and minimalist

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Must install hood BEFORE tiling backsplash - lower portion of hood will not align with portion in the cabinet if lower portion is not fully back to the sheet rock of the wall. Installation requires patience to follow directions carefully as it is not as simple as attaching a few screws. The bottom panel of the cabinet is cut out. The end result is quiet and sleek and very effective. Lighting is excellent but the manual does state the bulbs have to be changed by a technician. My review would be five stars if installation was easier.
