[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.
[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.
(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.
Instruction manual tells the blower can be on the exterior of the fan While reading twice , i saw that the manual was the same for 3 differents products
Mine wasnt officially compatible with sais fonction
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We bought this retractable downdraft to accommodate our kitchen design. We have had this about a month and we could not be more pleased. The operation is both efficient at removing vapour and easy to clean. Sleek design allows this unit to “disappear” with the counter top. The fan will also retract while running and resumed that same fan speed when returning to operation. We have all KitchenAid small appliances and tools and love them also . The phrase “KitchenAid- for the way it’s made” is always on the tip of my tongue when I use this fan !!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The unit does not set level, see picture. It is very loud and doesn’t pull the exhaust unless the pot/skillet is on the back, nearest burner. Highly overpriced for results.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Installed this for a kitchen reno and since we got rif of our Over The Range microwave that didnt vent outside, wanted something that actually vented and worked well. The run for this is straight out the side of the house, so any cooking smells and moisture are drawn out faster than anything we have ever used before
