[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i have purchased the kitchenaid 1170 CFM hood which was recommended by a friend. he absolutely is true to his word. the fan is amazingly powerful except that the noise is a bit loud,probably that's why it is so powerful. one time i had burnt something, the smell is gone shortly after i turned on the fan. The control options are neat. i would highly recommend it as well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this range hood for several years and it has not had any issues. We like the look of the hood and the ability to clean it is easy. It is relatively quiet on the highest setting. There are 3 stove facing lights that provide ample light for cooking. We did not give this the 5th star because it does not extract the odors as quickly as we would like. If I cook bacon for instance, I have to leave the hood on for at least an hour before the odor is gone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been very happy with this KitchenAid range hood. It looks great in our kitchen, feels well built, and does a good job removing smoke and cooking odors. The controls are easy to use, the lighting is helpful, and the fan provides good ventilation without being overly complicated. Overall, it works exactly as expected and has been a great addition to our kitchen. Would recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Aesthetically looks great. The motherboard burnt on the first try. After nearly four months of frustrated rounds of phone calls to customer service, had to escalate it to corporate via the BBB complaint. Took corporate only two weeks to correct it with a replacement vent hood. It was clearly a defective motherboard, which I hope is an aberration. Adam at corporate was totally awesome! New vent hood works well. The only thing I wish I should have done is to buy a bigger fan motor. The recommended 585 CFM fan motor is not adequate as the smart heat sensor on the vent hood automatically kicks in whenever the front area near the control switches heats up while cooking with lowest fan setting.
I have a new home, with a new Kitchenaid Hood. This “feature” is a nightmare because once it goes on by itself, I can’t turn it off. This hood goes on by itself with full force when I am heating my teapot. Nothing else is cooking on the stove but a teapot. I turn off the stove and the fan keeps blasting for 5 minutes. Steam triggers it, not a smokey pan frying bacon. You’d never know this was a “feature or a good thing”. Now I can’t use my teapot. I called KitchenAid tech service today and they are denying there is something wrong with it, nor want to service the sensor. This automatic feature didn’t go on when I was frying tortillas with a high flame, it only went on this morning full “boost” blast with my little teapot on medium heat. I do not recommend this hood. I’m asking my builder Toll Brothers to take it out and give me a different brand. This is a newly installed hood in 2022. Model KVWC906KSS
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using this hood for more than a month now and have really found this piece of equipment worth the money. The hoods motor really pulls out the smell’s while cooking.
