The vent is much more powerful than our previous vent. The telescopic feature is nice too.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Look no further for a downdraft!
on February 23, 2025
Posted by: Black galaxy

Love the sleek disappearing vent. I had a downdraft that was directly in the center of the cooktop it was the GE modular top (horrible) design. I hated it for multiple reasons! That’s all gone now with this new exhaust system that I actually enjoy so much!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Seems like just what I need.

Pretty straightforward installation. Moves quite a bit of air but is kind of loud. I’ve only tested it so far. Haven’t really had a chance to use in less than 24 hours.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Telescopes and Vents!
on November 14, 2024
Posted by: jlgrock
I mean, they suck, but if you don't have a vent, this is about the best you can expect. This is my third one over the years. The button is a sticker, and if that gets too much grease on it, you have to replace the electronics. Wish there was a better system for that. Anyways, it has a slightly different footprint than previous models due to the fan being a bit of a different shape, but generally fit the same.

Thank you for your review. We see what you did there. This model will efficiently remove/suck smoke, grease, odors and moisture from the air thanks to a downdraft kitchen exhaust vent with a 500-CFM venting system. The aluminum filters help to cut down on clean up thanks to mesh material that is quick and easy to remove and are completely dishwasher safe. We recommend keeping them clean.

Perfect match for Kenmore downdraft!
on July 21, 2024
Posted by: Sarah D
from Oregon
We replaced a Kenmore downdraft that no longer worked. This unit was easy to install in the same location. Instruction manual was easy to follow, including information on how to rotate exhaust fan to meet up with existing ductwork from previous unit.

It makes a lot of noise and you have to press the button extremely hard to get it to raise up
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
