EKON Wall Mount Range Hood 36in,Ducted/Ductless Convertible Range Hoods Stainless Steel 900CFM with 4 Speeds Touch Control LCD Display,Delay Shut Off Function,Dishwasher Baffle Filters (NAP02-R-36")

I was initially very skeptical of purchasing an off-brand 36" stainless range hood for our kitchen upgrade, but VERY satisfied with the overall outcome, overall price and overall quality compared to our intended KitchenAid or VentaHood brands at 10X the price. We'll see if we still like it after we install the 36" pro stove/range beneath it, but with the 900CFM blower, we'll see if it holds up to its future tasking for use with propane burner temperatures.This unit is pretty well made with thick stainless steel throughout (it's heavy). The stainless is covered with a herculean stick-on protective plastic that took some doin' to get off. The protective plastic left behind some remnants and traces of adhesive that we are still trying to remove.Installation instructions were 'at best' general directions for reference only. The entire installation should not be performed by someone without skill (general skill) to accomplish anything mechanical or otherwise less than a decent household handyman. Perhaps a general contractor would be best for any of the faint at heart. It wasn't hard for one person (me), but tricky and a bit of head scratching went on. It would be best to raise this thing with some help (another helping hand, wife to hand another beer). I did the whole thing myself.The illumination provided by the 4 bulbs is more than adequate to the cooking surface; and with a bit of skill, can be selectively lowered to provide a dimmed night light for midnight raids in the kitchen area. The suction is yet to be fully determined (cooking the big Italian dinner) but the 4 fan speeds are relatively quiet when operating, but has a low frequency vibration caused by a fluttering of the chimney covers on the high setting. This can be remedied by stuffing the lower chimney cover area inside with a bit of the product packing foam.I initially claimed that it would probably look like a cheap "Chinese made" product that would be perfect for a home-reselling remodel and not expected to be used by anyone with culinary prowess. Well, I'm here to tell you that I am excited for the opportunity to cook beneath this hood for many years in the future. Oh yeah, I'm also a Chef.Dicks

Amazing, looks great!!

My install was a bit of a pain because it was different mounting than my previous but once up, it's great. Fan and light work great. Easy to clean the filter/slates. Solid parts all around.

The range hood looks great and is a good deal. I purchased the NAP02-R-30 in April 2022. The lights started flickering after the warranty expired. The manufacturer still helped me, though. They asked me to send a short video to show what was happening and then they sent both lights and an electronics board at no cost. The problem ended up being the board. It only took me about 15 minutes to swap it and the lights are working great again. The manufacturer didn't have to provide free parts and shipping. That was unexpected since I was just contacting them to find out how to order the parts. Great support!

I recently purchased thi kitchen vent hood, and it has exceeded my expectations! The installation was straightforward, and it operates quietly while efficiently removing smoke and odors. The sleek design complements my kitchen beautifully, and the lighting feature is a fantastic bonus. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enhance their cooking space!

The exhaust fan and lights work great and the unit looks nice. There are dents in both the front and back of unit due to the insufficient packaging. The instruction is BAD, i.e. for the chimney instructions the manual tells you to "install chimney and tighten screws" which screws do you use from the bag of mixed hardware? Do you install top half first or? It doesn't tell you. Doesn't give you a good feel of support when you need it.

Had this exhaust fan for a few months and waited to put it to good use before reviewing it. I would recommend it! Works as described with good odor/smoke removal.

This fan is awesome. It was a bit tricky to install because our ceilings are low. The lights are great, and the suction is comparable to industrial fume hoods (I am a retired chef) It is a bit loud - not horrible & no problem for me, but if you are likely to watch TV in the same room or something like that, it might be a little annoying. Still - the value for money is excellent - I paid over $1,000 10 years ago for a hood that didn't work as well but it was quiet.
