This is a great product with great features.

This product work great with the heat and odors being removed. There is only one thing wrong and that is that it resonates. With a little extra padding this stops the resonating. The fan speed is variable which works great if you only need it on low. There are two light features and with both on they put out a lot of light. The filters are easy to remove for cleaning and they go back in just as easy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Excellent hood for large range

This hood draws well even when using a Wolf range with a grill. The hood is very loud at the highest setting, but a variable speed control allows you to set the draw at the lowest effective level. The two level lights illuminate the range top well. Simple clean design esthetic.

Well built, good value

All exposed surfaces are nicely finished. No sharp edges, and I appreciate the rounded profile that spreads the force when I bump my head on it. The blower very effectively captures the smoke and odor from stir-frying at 22,000 BTUs. As expected, there is a lot of air noise at 600 cfm as the air rushes through the baffles and into the internal blower. At low speed, the predominant noise is a hum (almost a buzz) from the variable-frequency motor and controller. Much quieter than at high speed, but still annoying over time, say when simmering a soup.
The controls are the weakest point. A three-position rocker switch for the lights would make a lot more sense than a three position knob that I often twist the wrong direction. Also, the low setting is pretty much useless with LED lights because they flicker very perceptibly. Something more sophisticated than a diode to chop out half of the AC cycle would be appreciated. Both the light and fan knobs feel a little cheap.
Customer service was very responsive when I had questions.

Thank you for your review on the model E6436SS range hood. We appreciate your feedback. Please note that this hood uses two MR16 or PAR16, GU10 base, 120 volt, 50 watt halogen bulbs. You can use LED's but as you have found out, they do not always operate correctly and we cannot guarantee the life of the bulb. Should you have any questions or need assistance with your hood, please feel free to contact Technical Support at 800-637-1453. We are always here to help with any questions or concerns you may have. Thanks for your time and we hope you will enjoy your new range hood!

Motor lasted only 4 years, too noisy, NOT RECOMMNDED

The motor life is extremely poor - Lasted only 4 years ! .Replacement motor costs almost half the price of the whole unit . In my old house I have a much very inexpensive model, in which the motor is almost 2 decades old !!! Too noisy
Baffle filters are a mess to clean up kitchen grease. Does not easily go away - poor design in my opinion.
Look for some thing else - Absolutely NOT recommended
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We appreciate your review on the model E6436SS range hood. We are saddened to learn of your dissatisfaction with this model. The E6436SS range does come with the blower right inside of the hood. We do offer models that use an external or in-line blower if noise is an issue. The E64E36SS would be the same model with the exterior or in-line blower option sold separately. We are sorry that your motor failed and if we can be of any assistance to you with your hood, please contact Technical Support directly at 800-637-1453.
