Awoco RH-R06 Rectangle Vent 6" High Stainless Steel Under Cabinet 4 Speeds 900CFM Range Hood with LED Lights (30"W Rectangle Vent)

It was easy to install this hood after we purchased it. It is important to remember to use a drill bit or even a screwdriver that is long enough to reach every space between the pieces. There was no need to cut two pieces of wood other than one strip. In order for my husband to screw the hood in, I helped hold the fan. Although we had better screws than the ones we were originally given, that was the only thing we changed from original set up. As we have a lot of cooking to do in the house, we had a hood installed by our builders, but it wasn't strong enough since I cook all the time and dislike the smell of food. Having said that, the duct you can see in the pictures is the one we originally had and nothing else was done to it. I have never worn anything like this before. In the end, I decided to use this one after studying several other models and ordering a Kobe that is very similar to it but rated at The duct I have is long and I think I needed something stronger. The company did not have the option of having one without the logo any longer, so I called them to see if they had any. As far as I can tell, the logo isn't noticeable at a distance and a lot smaller than it is If it could be removed easily, then it could be removed. I can't hear anyone nearby when the fan is loud but not too loud that I can't hear the fan. That old Whirlpool I replaced was as loud and inefficient as the one I replaced. As of now, I'm pleased with the quality and I will update you if I feel differently in the future.

Having found that expert information on range hoods is somewhat limited on the web, I felt compelled to leave a review. It took me a while to settle on this model of hood after going back and forth on several others. In addition to its high CFM rating, I appreciate the way it looks and I like the feel of the real buttons rather than the It has to be able to pass through the cabinet above it. So I needed something for under the cabinet with the vent on top. The duct I installed for a hybrid rangehood/microwave was previously installed under the house. In my case, I had to run a duct from the stove to the outside. As the stove is on an interior wall, this was the most challenging aspect of the installation. The duct ran through the soffit above our cabinets, but the wall was not interior, and I could route it through the exterior wall. From the range hood up through the cabinet, I run galvanized steel round duct, and then run aluminum flexible duct inside the soffit (it is rated for range hood use) to the exterior wall cap, both Imperial brand found at Lowe's. My duct ran the length of the soffit for approximately five feet, and I had to turn three times to pass through it. I used a Speedi-vent cap for the vent cap The following items were exempt from tax On Amazon, you can find WCHD 06 . Getting the duct through the soffit was pretty challenging, I had to cut an extra hole in the dry wall on the soffit to get my hand into it so I could navigate the duct through the labyrinth of plumbing from our bathroom My next task was to drill holes through the cabinet after I had the ducts run. After I cut all the holes, I reviewed the fit between the hood, rigid duct, and cabinet and attempted to put them back together. When I made a slight inward bend in the vent outlet on the hood, it was easier to slip it through the seam between the vent and duct. Then I installed the duct with a 6" hose clamp onto the flexible duct, slipped the cabinet up onto it, and screwed it in place. The new hood was ready to be hung as soon as the cabinet and duct were installed. In this case, I used an old TV tray table and cut the legs at just the right height so it would hold the cabinet a couple of inches below the installation height when the table is sitting on the stove. The room I had left was just enough for me to wire and As for the wiring, it was simple because I tested it with the supplied plug before cutting and hardwiring it to the electrical that already existed. Note that the wires come out of the top of the unit this was not a problem for me since there was a hollow gap under the cabinet, but it could be problematic for cabinets without this gap. I did my own drilling to mount the hood directly to studs. They do include some plastic drywall anchors, but I have used them on lighter duty applications and they are terrible, I've had them tear the walls around them and I wouldn't trust them for something this heavy. With my own holes drilled into the studs, I was able to mount the grill hood to the cabinet above it, with the top attached to the cabinet. There is one small issue, which is the actual width of the hood is 29-32 inches. A gap of 1/4" is left on either side of the hood because one side is cut off by the It's hard to notice, but I thought it was strange since the old cheap hood was exactly 30" in length and perfectly fit the space.
Which of the following statements is true?
How After a successful meal of steak on cast iron the next day, I decided to test it out. When I cook with cast iron, I tend to make a lot of smoke, and the little vent we had before (which just circulated through a filter) didn't help much my house would be filled with smoke every time I cooked, the smoke detector blaring. After that, I would open all the windows and let the house air out. Now with the hood, it handled 3 steaks without any issues. Some smoke did escape into the rest of the house, but it was very reasonable because the unit was running In the evening the next day I turned on the unit and cooked burgers and bacon on cast iron, adding more smoke to the house, but overall the unit performed amazing, you could smell some cooking had taken place, but I found the amount of smoke too extreme for my tastes. Other things like eggs I've cooked several times and still it's hard to tell from a distance that anything was cooked, while before, no matter what room of our house you were in, you would definitely notice that eggs had just been cooked. While the unit is relatively noisy on high mode, I do not think this is a major con, as it's mostly the sound of rushing air, and for me, the most important part is not having to smoke in the house while cooking. While I was cooking, I also looked out the window, and there was plenty of smoke kicking around from the external vent, which I took as a positive There is a lot more light on the cooking surface and on the hood because the LED lights are much better than the generic appliance bulbs found on my other hoods. They are white LEDs and nicely illuminate My experience with this purchase has been excellent, and I highly recommend it. This is a huge upgrade for me. Because I did not know how well the unit would work until it was installed and was not satisfied with the information I found on the majority of the options available to me, I was very nervous about buying a unit. It is our hope that the information provided here helps you decide.

The reviews suggested that it was a good product. When I cooked, I had to replace a 200CFM range hood that didn't vent outside, and it would smoke the whole house up. So I decided to replace it with a new one and cut the vent through the wall, so we wouldn't be able to smoke out of the house every time we This was the opposite of what I expected I expected the 900CFM to absorb every last particle of smoke. It wasn't anything special -- I just cooked a burger. The food wasn't that much. The single burger patty was all that was available. As the range hood was set to high during the entire cooking process, my whole house smells like grease and is smokey. There are only two 90 degree angles on the 6" vent, but it goes directly outside with only 12-degree angle It is not as difficult as it might seem for the smoke to exit due to the 16 inches of duct. All of its components have been tested before they were installed. I just spent 6 hours installing this, and I'm still no better off than I was before with my piece of junk range hood, which was no more than 1/4 the power and did not have a vent. I didn't know what I was going to buy. What a complete waste.
