Stop shopping, and buy this range hood RIGHT NOW.

If you are reading this, and have a need for an under cabinet, 30" wide, 6" round ducted range hood, pause now, click on the "Add to Cart" button and then come back and read the rest. When you're done, you're going to buy this. Seriously. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. I cook a lot. We have a 900 square foot kitchen, and my family has muddled through the last 10 years with a 250 CFM Kenmore range hood. I am overwhelmingly impressed with the BV Range Hood. This sucker (see what I did there?) far outperforms my previous range hood, and probably any other that I have ever experienced at anyone's house, in my entire over-four-decades life. PROS: It's powerful! The smell of cooking bacon used to linger in our house for 3 to 4 days. We'd be opening the windows, using fans, our prior range hood, etc. The first day after we bought it, I made bacon. I kept the windows closed in our kitchen, and ran the range hood. I was prepared to run the stopwatch on my phone to see how long it would take to suck the smell out. I didn't do that. Because I there was NO BACON SMELL IN THE ROOM. Since then, I have made Chinese stirfry, fried cod, my wife has baked cookies, we've burnt pizza, and none of those smells have lingered at all. My children used to joke that "Dinner's ready when the smoke alarm goes off". They have not made that joke a single time, with this range hood. It's pretty quiet! There are three settings. On the lowest setting, I can have a normal conversation with someone sitting next to me. On the highest setting, I do have to raise my voice, but it's comparable to my prior range hood. It's super easy to use! Five buttons. One button for a light. Three buttons, one for each level of fan speed. And a fifth button to turn it off. Tapping the off button also runs the fan for another minute, and then automatically shuts off. It's easy to clean! I am baffled (see what I did there?) why anyone would want a range hood that has those cottony-insulation looking filters, or aluminum filters that you have to replace. These stainless steel baffles are dishwasher safe, and the best part, is that they are the entire cooking-facing surface of the hood. So underneath, it's not like there is a section of hood that you have to reach under and wash with a sponge. No need. The entire bottom is occupied by the removable baffles, and a trough that runs the entire 30" length of the hood, which is mis-named as the "oil drain cup". It's a trough, and it's awesome. Easily removable, easily cleaned. CONS: The two built in LED lights are more blue than I prefer. I generally like warmer color hues. And that's it. There is no reason to shop around. Buy this. Now.

How to remove the sticky residue from the front sticker ...

This fan came carefully packaged free from dents and blemishes. It installed easily but you need two people the unit is heavy. It has great suction and is quiet. I'd like if the bulbs were brighter but they still are good. Now the secret for removing the sticky goo left from the sticker on the front of the hood: WD-40. It easily removes the residue and is what I use to clean my stainless steel. Works like a charm!

Quiet and efficient

We are very pleased with this range hood. Its easy to use and does a fantastic job of moving smoke and odors to the outside. Even when we run it on high, it doesn't interfere with conversations.. I'm adding a picture in response to a question about covering this with a custom hood cover.

B E S T Kitchen Exhaust Hood I've Found----

A substantially solid design of near commercial grade, this range hood features two linearly mounted high power fans allowing even and thorough suction of steam and cooking odors from your range or cooking surface. I found the heavy gauge stainless steel is remarkably strong and resilient to impact and scratches, and the modular design is well thought-out for easy cleaning and maintenance. A good example are the three removable vent panels which are angled towards the rear, to permit any oil or grease to flow towards a removable collection tray that is easily un-clipped. This is by far, better than my earlier range hoods which were more difficult to clean. The LED lights, in my estimation, offer greater advantages over other alternatives, such as Quartz Halogen lights. They offer even illumination and will virtually last forever without needing replaced. If you pay close attention to mounting instructions and matching diameter of the exhaust port to this range hood, you will be rewarded with excellent suction and air-handling capabilities. Lastly, I cannot provide enough praise for BV STAINLESS' customer service. I contacted them about the operation of my unit, and they were quick to respond and to work with me in trying to rectify the concerns. It still required some adaptation on my part, but the quality of their customer service is among the best I have received from any company in the past 20 years! As a result, I could not recommend the BV Stainless Steel 30" Under Cabinet range hood, any more highly. Buy it... you won't be disappointed!

Strong Fan, good lights, great buy.

Arrived quickly and in perfect condition. I immediately took it out and set it on top of shipping box and plugged it in to test all it's functions, everything worked. This fan is incredibly powerful at 950 CFM at max setting. Four push button fan settings, including one "Quiet" push button provides all the fan levels needed. The lowest setting is called "Quiet" and is pretty much silent while still providing exhaust airflow similar to what our microwave fan used to. Now we can cook steaks, seafood and Asian dishes without the offending odors lingering throughout our home. Very nice! The two lights are very bright and a great improvement over our previously installed microwave lights (dim at best). Installation is standard for a fan shroud so it is advisable to purchase a long screwdriver bit as well as a long drill bit for your electric screwdriver. I viewed a couple DIY installation videos and they are about the same. I used a car screw jack to lift the fan into place and then drilled the holes with a long bit and purchased larger screws for the top, into the overhead cabinet. Painted the wall area that the microwave previously covered so it looks like a professional installation. The stove is much more open now without the huge microwave in your face when cooking. Wife really likes it so I am happy too.

Love the Hood!!

The hood came without any dents or dings and looks great. It was really easy to install. I installed underneath a cabinet with the provided hardware. It also comes with hardware to attach it to the wall behind the unit. I cut through the cabinet and outside wall. FYI. This unit does not have a recirculate option and you need to vent it outside. It pulls a lot of air. I don't have any return air specifically for this unit but it still works great. I am able to stir fry at high temps or deep fry without smoking out the house!

Finally clean fresh living room

The wife is finally happay and No more stinky living room. After reading all the reviews I decided to give this BV a try and was happy of the outcome. Installation was easy took about 2 hrs by myself. The unit is very quiet even at the highest setting. I am able to listen to the tv. We have an open concept kitchen dinning room and the unit is able to keep the dinning room smell clean and fresh even when deep fried meat and fish. Worth every pennies.

a headache to install, but worth it

We bought this to replace an OTR microwave that didn't suck up anything. Seriously, if we did anything more than boil water, our smoke alarms would go off. So we bought this to keep ourselves, and our two dogs, from going insane each time we so much as looked at the stove. This took me and my husband all weekend to install, including 4 trips to Lowe's. We took down our microwave and realized it had a rectangle output, so we had to get some ducting from the main vent to this. Part of the reason it took so damn long was because of the way the builders installed the vent stack to begin with, so not the fault of this hood. However, there are a couple things to note as I found the instructions less than stellar. Some of these might only apply if you're doing an under-cabinet mount. 1. There are two small screws on the top vent. Remove these before installing. No mention of this in the instructions, but it can be difficult to maneuver the extraction once the hood is installed. Trust me. The duct should slip between the two cylinders on top and then you screw them all together. Yeah that didn't happen. We just used shiny ducting tape to keep it all in place. 2. You might want some nuts for the screws that go in the top. We actually installed it with the screws coming down from the cabinet and added nuts to keep them all in place. That was easier than trying to go the other way. 3. Make a template of the screw holes in the back and another for the holes on top from the cardboard box the hood is shipped in. Ideally templates would have been provided, but we were able to make do. 4. As others have mentioned, the sticker on the front left some lovely residue. Even after using goo gone, I could still see the outline. The way I got rid of it was by cleaning the hood with vinegar and then wiping it down with a thin coat of olive oil. No trace of the sticker now! Tonight we put this fan to the ultimate test. I seared chicken thighs for about 10 minutes before transferring to the oven, made a glaze from the leftover juices plus some other ingredients, and stir fried snap peas. I don't think I could have done even one of those things before without setting off the smoke alarm, but this hood allowed me to do all three with no worries. One day I hope my dogs will get over their trauma and not run and hide every time we turn on the stove. Overall, I'm super happy with this hood as the memories of installing it quickly fade.

Quick response

Within minutes of complaining about the lights, I received this reply from the manufacturer: "We actually have brighter lights for you to replace. The new light that we are sending you is twice bright as the existing one."

Awesome product, but read this before you buy.

I had read all of the feedback before buying this. Most of it seemed shipping related or installer related. One needs to set their expectations appropriately when purchasing something like this. It's not a toaster or a countertop microwave where you should just expect to unbox it, not read anything, and go with no hassles. It is more like buying tile or wallpaper. It is a part of a project and requires some knowledge and skills to properly install it and get the best experience. Do not expect you will just be able to slap it in and go. On the note of the bent fans... Mine were VERY slightly bent, or better put, out of true. Sort of like if you hit a rock or curb and it throws your bike wheel off a bit. It is pretty easy to get them near perfect and "close enough" works for a quiet fan without vibration. Some of the vibration is also due to mounting. You should have a nice solid mounting for this and that brings me to that point... The mounting holes are very near the edges of this unit. My cabinets that I mounted them to have particle board bottoms that are MAYBE 1/4 inch thick. There was no way I was going to just screw into that even with smallish washers, no way... Also, the slots / holes in the unit, do not allow for decent sized screws (that said this comes with ZERO mounting hardware so expect a trip to the hardware store). If you wanted to just get hardware and go, you would be putting a good deal of faith in thin sheet metal and particle board. You may have nicer cabinets.. That said... I used a vibrating multi tool to deepen the slots my cabinet floors slid into so I could sneak 1.25" fender washers into, thus allowing the fan to grip the body of the cabinet (1/2 particle board). I used a slightly larger drill bit to make the slots in the hood for the screws a little wider so I didn't have to use very small screws. I also added plastic spacers between the unit and the floor of the cabinet so the bolt tension was not pulling on the sheet metal at all, but instead squeezing it firmly against the spacers and cabinet, forming a very solid connection. This made install a serious PAIN, but it was one I more or less expected. Again, expectations... On the lighting issue, their customer service was AWESOME. I emailed about the lights being very dim, really only good as "night lights" and they mailed me a new set quickly. Ask and ye shall receive. The bad news is the replacements are maybe twice as bright, still not very bright, and still something a smidge bluer than daylight white. Oh well. They help fill out the light blocked by the hood and I'm not going to whine. I would DIY but the circuit that controls them only supports 2w, so this is really the best you can do without really getting in there and doing some modifications. On the fan vibration issue, I found out the fix for that when I answered the follow up email they sent after helping me with the lights. Again, their customer service, for me anyway, was awesome. Thanks guys for that! It only took me about 15 minute to fix it by removing the filters, the oil cup, and the fan shroud come off with three little quick releases you twist 90 degrees then the shrouds pull down, rubber tubes come out of the housing, and they pull out. Hold you finger against the body of the fan blower assemble and fingertip very close to the rim of the fan blade (the smooth part) and turn the blade slowly until it contacts your finger. That is the high spot. Gently push inwards on that part and turn some more.. keep repeating this process until there is no, or nearly no, high spots... Spin it up on low speed and keep your fingers away while you quality check. Thing is, these blade are very thing. If they made them thicker it would mean more rotating mass which means bigger motors or slower fan speed up, and likely more wattage draw. So they can get a little wonky during shipping. I imagine these came from China, likely assembled, so all things considered it arrived in awesome shape... What is 15 minutes of work right? It's a $300 hood that rivals $1500 ones! The next thing, and what I really love, is the power of this unit. Someone commented they are Indian and make stinky food... Love that! I am not Indian but I cook a lot, grill on my cast iron which always set off the smoke alarm (no longer!!!) and do make some aromatic foods. My house no longer smells like bacon all day Sunday (and hey if that's awesome just don't run it right??). While all this fantastic ventilation is happening, you CAN HOLD A CONVERSATION over by it, and I can have it on low sucking up the smells while I go sit down and watch a movie on the other side of my open concept kitchen / living room and it isn't bothersome! To put that in perspective, my crappy GE over the range microwave this replaced, was from 2007 and is that unit that like everyone and their mom and every apartment and hotel room has, only did 200 cfm on low and I think maybe 400 on high (but that is totally bogus!) and you couldn't talk anywhere near it because of how loud it was... I also love the timed shut off feature, just hit the button and walk away and it runs for like a minute or so then shuts itself down. So all in all, I think this unit is a GREAT value for the money. I'm very pleased with its performance, nice modern unobtrusive appearance, BV's customer service, and I would highly recommend to anyone willing to spend a little time doing a good installation. Take some care, pay attention to the details, plan on this taking a few hours to really do right, and have a helper hold it while you get it mounted. Or, you know, buy a 1500 hood and pay someone a few hundred bucks to do it for you. PS: I added some stainless sheet using epoxy to the inside parts of the cabinet prior to mounting and while I put up the backsplash in the picture. This not only really makes it look that much more pro but it will be way easier to clean. Just a project idea for you there... got the piece here on amazon for like $15 a side and only had to trim one inch off either one for a perfect fit.
