Zephyr Power Series AK2500S 30 Hurricane Under Cabinet Range Hood, 695 CFM Internal Blower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased this after reading reviews on other sites about range hoods. The installation was straight forward, I would have given it 5 stars but they do not give you a template to layout the exhaust hole and attachment bolts so it took me awhile to measure and mark it out. The unit really has powerfull motors and the lighting is pretty good. I would recommend this hood to anyone that does alot of cooking and needs a powerful hood; this baby does the job.

The damper can be a little noisy when it's windy, but otherwise works great. More importantly, the actual label on the item says it fits more models than were listed in the description:

Broan LB30 30-Inch Hood Liner Review

Broan LB30 30-Inch Hood Liner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this to go with the Broan PM390 Power Pack Range Hood Insert, Silver. I bought an older home that had an empty-inside wood hood (no over stove cabinet) and thought this liner would slip right in there, we pop the fan in, and that's it. I downloaded all the instructions, spec sheets, etc., I could find online ahead of time.
The instructions (both from the web and from the box) are confusing. We weren't even sure which end was up (looks different in different drawings). My contractor had to call the 800# for advice and that person told him that the insert is not designed to hold up the fan. He said you have to either have a cabinet or build a box. In effect, this liner is just to cover up the wood, protect it, and give a stream-lined look.
After some discussion we decided to just use the liner to hold up the fan and it seems very solid. The liner installs with the opening pointing down (concave), so the bottom of the fan unit ends up 4" above the bottom of the hood and is hidden. I posted some photos.
It's slightly awkward reaching under and/or looking under to locate and move the switches which are on the bottom of the fan unit. I'm sure it will become automatic with use. It seems that the fan and therefore the lights sit further back (nearer to the wall) than when I had a standard under-counter fan unit.
For my situation, this liner combined with the fan were perfect. The finished project looks very professional and was way less costly than a custom hood. It was not possible to find a matching cabinet in order to install a ready-made fan unit off the shelf. The cost for this liner, the very nice fan unit, and labor was less than or equal to what it would have cost for an off-the-shelf fan unit, non-matching over-stove cabinet, and labor.

This baby has a nice 2 speed fan and a built-in light. Just make sure you measure correctly for your intended spot. If you ask me, buying a pricier hood is a total WASTE OF CASH. This gets the job done and looks great doing it, like Maria Sharapova.

I love this range hood. It looks great and is well constructed. On low setting you can barely hear it running. On high it is a little noisey. The light in the range hood is perfect for task lighting over the stove.

Kikkerland Tape Timer Aluminum Review

Kikkerland Tape Timer Aluminum
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have only owned this product for a week, however it appears to work nicely. The best part of this timer is its design. Everyone who has seen it loves it.
One note about functionality: To operate this timer, you have to pull the "tape" all the way out (60 mins) then you use an adjustment wheel on the bottom to retract it to the time you want. The unit will only work if operated this way. I did not find this to be a negative, but it is a bit more work than you would expect just from looking at it.

This unique Kitchen Tape Timer by Kikkerland is a modern way to keep time while cooking and baking. Shaped like a tape measure, this timer can be set up to 60 minutes. Simply lift the pull ring to go from 0 to 60 minutes and watch time pass as the tape decreases. This handy timer measure minutes, not inches, but you'll have fun with it nonetheless. An easy dial on the bottom allows you to bring tape measure down.Design by Jospeh Forakis.

Excellent for the price. The only downside would be that the fan on has two speeds and the light only has one setting. My old fan had three setings for the light and fan speed. Other than that, the stainless steel matches my fridge and dishwasher, it looks great!! Compared to other prices, it's excellent!!

Broan QS130BL 30-Inch Allure Range Hood, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product because I wanted to match my stainless steel appliances. I notice this hood was larger than my 1980's era hood that I inherited from the previous owner of my home. So, it was time for an update. The installation was not too hard for a DIY type person, such as myself. I purchased the hood in a chain home improvement store and didn't look for the reviews on Amazon like I normally do to see how others view the quality of a product. I was shocked to learn that Amazon sells the hood that I purchased for $100 less than I purchased it at the store. Wow! That is a big difference. If my cheapness weren't out-weighed by my laziness, I'd take the hood back for a refund and purchase it again on Amazon. Oh well, lesson learned.

Broan QT230SS 30-Inch Convertible Range Hood, Stainless Steel
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Personally, if i had to do it again I would have gone for a different range. The only reason I picked this one was due to size contraints...It looks kind of cheap, the metal is thin and flimsy and even with dual dampers the cold air still rushes in. The unit arrived with a piece loose in the box, which broke due to being jostled around. And the sheet metal used to fabricate it wasnt completely tight and when the unit is on, the metal flaps back and forth making ALOT of noise. I think its 40% louder because of it! I just dont feel like dealing with sending it back and getting another one, and then have the same issue repeat...we just jerry rigged it to fix SOME of the issues....over all I am disappointed. If I had to do over I would get a Zephyr.

The hood has integral punched stainless steel discharge grille, which is much better than a typical plastic grille, since it is easy to clean and it will not detach like my old one.
The light is very simply made and will accept fluorescent light bulb which will add a lot of light to the kitchen without using much energy.

Air King DS1303 Designer Series Under Cabinet Range Hood, 30 Inch Wide, White Review

Air King DS1303 Designer Series Under Cabinet Range Hood, 30 Inch Wide, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This hood has the combination of features we were looking for. It ships as ductless, with punch-outs on the top and back that will allow you to convert to ducted installation. It has two light levels and a variable rotary speed control. To get all of this, including shipping, for under $100 in stainless steel is quite a good deal. It is made in USA, and the quality is very good. Even at its highest speed, it is not overly loud. Its noise rating at 200cfm is lower than any other fan I researched between 160 and 190cfm.
The product description says you need to install the RF-34 charcoal filter to "convert" it to ductless operation. I went ahead and paid the $10 (including shipping) for the filter. It rests between the metal grease filter and the fan. It has no other function than to remove odors, so you could probably do without it.
Installation was straightforward. It operates very well and looks very good. It shipped quickly and was packaged adequately. I would have paid close to $200 for something similar at my local home improvement store, and even then it would have been manufactured in China. I definitely recommend this product, and recommend purchasing it from Amazon.
