We have our stove in an island so we had to get a downdraft. This one is pretty and it works great, but I thinks it goes way too high when you turn it on, what makes it look a little weird, because usually I have people seating on the other side of the island, and when I cook this thing goes really high so I can hardly see my guests on the other side. I works great and that´s what matters, but I wish it wasn´t that high. Also, I though the sound level was going to be better since it is a new appliance with better technology, I guessed, but the noise is just as bad as the old one we had.
I would recommend this to a friend!

30" Dpwndraft System usually needs repair

Verified Purchase:No
We bought this system several years ago and it usually is inoperative. Sticks in the up position and the fan does not work. Had several visits by repair people but usually fails several months after visit. Will replace shortly with system that works.

Retractable downdraft clears kitchen odors and smoke quickly and efficiently. Three fan settings low, medium and high. Retracts out of sight on granite countertop. Matching Kitchenaid induction cooktop boils water in less than 30-60 seconds! Very happy we bought both Kitchenaid products. Customer service is great!
Pros: Performance, easy to use, Innovative, Design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] In our newly remodeled kitchen we wanted an efficient way to remove cooking odors and steam from our cooking surface but didn’t wanted overhead hood. This appliance accomplishes that very efficiently & good looking too.

Great Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This downdraft fan is excellent and so easy to use. It stores out of site when not needed and comes up easily when needed. It has great amount of power to suck the steam into it instead of the air. Then is hidden when not needed.

After repair works great
on February 4, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I installed this downdraft unit myself, Fairly straight forward until I powered unit befor final installation. Back would pop up but fan would not come on. After waithing 6 days to get a tech out to look at it he found out that at the factory the switch to the fan motor was not connected. Quality control could be better. It was very frustrating to have to wait another week to get our kitchen back to being able to use it.

Very happy with it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vents raise high enough to pull in the smell but not affect the flames of the burners (an issue we had with previous downdraft). A bit noisy but looks nice and is easy to clean.
