[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vent hood has a nice appearance, but unfortunately, it is not practical for taller individuals. I am 5'10" and my husband is 6'1", and we have both hit our heads on it multiple times while cooking because it protrudes too far out over the cooking area. In fact, to comfortably use our stove, we have to stand at an angle and lean backward to avoid hitting our heads on the hood. This makes cooking uncomfortable and inconvenient.
While I appreciate the appearance of the hood, functionality and safety are just as important. I would much prefer a smaller, more streamlined design that sits closer to the wall and flush with the cabinets, without extending so far out. Ideally, it would have a more compact profile, similar to an over-the-stove microwave. A better-designed, less bulky hood would make cooking much more comfortable and practical, especially for taller homeowners.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does what it is meant to do, move airflow quickly over our gas stove. Pairs perfectly with out 36 inch gas cooktop
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The range hood looks so good in my kitchen, the fam is powerful, it removes smoke and grease.It has 3 settings and not so noisy.Just love the look !!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great airflow and extraction. Controls easy to use, really like the illumination on selected function.The stainless looks great too. Rating a four because of how loud the highest two settings are. Not sure there is anything that could be done about that though. For the force it is, 600cfm, it’s not too bad. I have a 900 cfm outdoors from another manufacturer and they seem like they are similar at high speed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item matched with the rest of our kitchen aid appliances perfectly . Wonderful to cook under great lighting and the ventilation is outstanding. Noise is definitely minimal unless it's on high which is understandably loud and it needs to pull out any of the smoke that is there . But would definitely purchase this item again in the future
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The most irritating thing about this hood is the very loud noise it makes when I am cooking and the fan automatically turns on and you cannot turn it off. This is because the largest burner is right underneath the heat sensory. This is very annoying. Further the black labels for high medium low etc on the stove by the dials have worn off after only 1 year of having the stove. The stovetop scratches easily and has to be cleaned very carefully to remove water spots.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This hood very efficiently clears away cooking odors and steam/smoke. Provides great illumination to the Range Top, and has multiple settings to get the right light/ventilation.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Kitchenaid under cabinet range hood for my kitchen from Custom Distributors in Columbus OH. I am quite happy with the range hood. It replaces an older model same design that failed because the switch became permanently damaged. 5 stars for Kitchenaid and 25 stars for Custom Distributors for making this happen. Replacing with a similar updated model range hood with same exact dimensions prevented tearing up the custom cabinets and designer wall tile.... yooo hooo thank you kitchenaid and Custom Distributors. :)
