A suitable downdraft solution with some caveats
on September 25, 2024
Posted by: Devern
from NB, Canada
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product has been in service for over 1 year now, and it has done its job with few exceptions. The downdraft system is roughly as loud as any other range, so that is within expectations. There are three (3) issues which prevent a 5 star rating:
1. The cover piece does not overhang over the back of the unit at all. This results in a potentially unsightly gap depending on the installation location and execution
2. The multi-position switch for fan speed is very cheap, and may be arcing in my unit. Regardless of defect, it takes more effort than is necessary to achieve the desired outcome
3. When extended at full height, the unit leans forward toward the stovetop slightly. While no function is impaired, I would have expected better/sturdier for the price point and from this brand.

Great Vent.
on February 27, 2025

from Minnesota.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was installed in my kitchen remodel and it is a great product. I had an older model KitchenAid vent but the new one is much taller and has 3 speeds.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works as it should - but noisy
on April 25, 2025
Posted by: dbreff
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a replacement for the initial downdraft vent we bought in 2010. This model is much more noisy than the original one and takes up slightly more space in the underneath cabinet. Old model had variable speeds, and this one has 4 set speeds. It does seem to move the air well. According to the technician, this model is a better design as far as the motor assembly. This was the only model available from KitchenAid to fit the same space.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Fan, but a bit nosey
on June 15, 2025
Posted by: JP30024
from Atlanta, GA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After the first month of real use, the fan is great but a bit noisy. Seems to do it's job very well. Have read reviews about the up and down issues, we have not had any as of yet. Great fan, but just a bit noisy. HIghly recommend that under cabinet space and placement is researched before buying. We had to make modifications to the placemen our gas line to fit the unit in... And it's heavy!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Downdraft
on September 16, 2025
Posted by: rolyn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks really good and works well, although it does sit fairly high when operating. It is a fairly loud unit if operated at high speed. It takes up a lot of room. We were told we could reverse the motor and it would only take up 4 inches of drawer space. This is not accurate. You can reverse the motor but not the fan. It takes up 4 inches plus 5 1/4 inches for the fan which cannot be reversed. It stole 5 additional inches off my pot drawers which I am not happy about
