Broan-NuTone F403011 30 Inch 4 Way Convertible Under Cabinet Kitchen Stove Range Hood, White on White

I love this new hood. I had a 10 year old hood over my stove - black no less. We recently did renovations to our home, so we are updating all appliances. We want everything to be stainless, so this hood caught our attention given the low price. Honestly, given the price, we were doubtful about the quality of the hood. Also, I read several reviews regarding units being received with dents, etc. My hood was received in perfect condition. It only took 2 days for the hood to arrive. Installation was very easy. I was able to install it myself, and Im a 58 year old man with very little experience with such things. Now its easier with 2 people but you can do it yourself if you're of a mind. Once installed, the hood looks great. I was very pleased. Its amazing how much it spruces up the kitchen. The stainless steel is just the best way to go. It looks great and its durable. And easy to clean. As far as performance goes, the hood seems to work great. It has two power settings, lo and high. On high, it sucks up alot of air. If you put your hand up close to it, you can feel the suction. Also, this hood will take a 60 watt light bulb, so plenty of lighting capacity. I would say do not hesitate to buy this hood at this price. It looks great (see photos) is easy to install, and it performs great.

Installed this new hood in my Mothers house. I replaced her old hood from the 1980's. exact fit! Works Well

We purchased our 1980’s ranch style home almost ten years ago and when we bought the house all of the appliances were 1990’s white, including the Broan range hood. Slowly but surely we have finally managed to switch our kitchen appliances over to stainless steel and believe it or not, we waited over two years to finally purchase a replacement range hood in stainless steel to match all of the kitchen appliances. Enter this Broan stainless steel hood vent. It’s almost an exact replica of the 1990s white one we were replacing (which was utterly filthy with grease, rust, etc. no matter what amount of cleaning you tried). Now I realize this is more of an entry level range hood, but we have a pretty basic kitchen and obviously this hood vent fit the space just fine as the previous white model did. We are very happy with this hood vent, but then again, we’ve essentially been using the same model in white for ten years. There are two exhaust speeds, high and low. And an overhead light. The exhaust fan when in operation is most likely much noisier than much more expensive models. But again, it’s what we’re used to. Once we finally have the $ to replace the kitchen cabinets, countertops, backsplash and flooring, we may look at higher end options. But in the meantime, this hood vent does the job, looks nice and is easy to operate. I could definitely see it being a great option for contractors when flipping a home, someone looking to do a minor kitchen remodel on a tight budget, or just someone looking for a reliable hood vent to match their appliances. I would recommend this hood vent to anyone looking for a decent looking, affordable stainless option. You certainly get more bang for your buck with this Broan hood vent! The vent arrived in pristine condition...no dents in the range hood/vent, no rips or tears in the shipping packaging either. Very satisfied with the condition of the vent upon arrival and Amazon’s packing materials.

I replaced a (working) 60-year-old GE range hood with this one. It was easy to install and works as advertised. It has one standard light socket (led bulbs recommended) and a two-speed fan. Both are controlled by plastic rocker switches. On high speed, the fan is pretty loud, but I don't think that can be avoided. I'd rather have a good fan that's a bit loud than a lousy fan that's quiet. Please note that if your old range hoid uses a power cord that plugs into a wall outlet, you will need to order a cord, this does not include a wall cord. If yours hooks up to your household wiring, you don't need a cord. This hood works either vented (hooked up to an exhaust pipe through your roof) or unvented (blows filtered exhaust back into the room). The instructions are very clear, but please read them carefully, perhaps twice, and follow the ones that apply to your installation. If you have a non-vented install, you are supposed to install a second filter which is not included. There is a bundle on this page that includes the power cable and the second filter. You can run it unvented with only one filter, but the air that is discharged into your kitchen will have more oily smoke particles and after several years that will accumulate on everything in the kitchen and all your stuff will have a greasy film on it. You're supposed to replace the filter occasionally, depending on how much you cook. There are also filters you can put in the dishwasher. I took off a star because the hood has a small ding on the front. The box was fine and it was well-packed, so that sort of suggests it left the factory that way. It wasn't a big enough blemish to send it back, but now that I know it's there, its all I can see. Time will tell if it lasts as long as the one it replaced, but this is a good value for the money and seems to be good quality. I got the black steel one and I can wipe it off with a sponge or paper towel.

If you’re on a budget and need a range hood fan, this is THE super easy, no frills, no thrills hood fan. It is one of the most versatile oven range hood fan you’ll find out there. It’s not the prettiest, but it has one job and does it fairly well. It’s quiet and just works. The ONLY thing it doesn’t come with is the power cord. The first unit was damaged to hell during shipping and Amazon quickly sent a replacement. With that said, the sheet metal that it’s made out of is very thin and can be bent in/out of shape fairly easy. The range hood can accommodate round and rectangle vents, or no vents. That was the main reason why I got this, because I didn’t know if my current one even had a vent. Thankfully it did and fits. The instructions are somewhat convoluted with technical jargon that will make you say, “WTF did I get into!?” Rest assured, it’s super easy and NOT complicated at all, except for power. First detach the silver vent attached to the hood. Depending on your venting, pop out the pre-punched holes for the correct venting style. Mock up your hood to the resting place and drill or (loosely) screw in the screws to hold it in place. Take the hood off, and get a 3-wire pig tail plug (not included) to connect your power to the hood. Luckily I hoard and have a bunch of computer power cords for this reason. Strip the power wires and you should have white, black, and green. Before attaching the plugs, punch out the correct hole on the hood for power cord placement, then stick the cable through the hole to continue. Green get grounded to the green dyed screw underneath the power box, the white goes with white, and black goes with black. I used wire nuts to secure them and then used black electrical tape to further secure them. Place the hood back on, plug it in and make sure it works before securing the screws. At this point I noticed it wasn’t that loud, even on the high setting. I can still have a conversation with it on high. Now for the duct work, remove the power, remove the hood, and attach the new venting duct attachment onto the hood. If you have an existing hood range, simply slide the old venting duct onto the new one. Once on, now secure it with duct tape along the exposed connecting points so that smoke doesn’t seep through. Now you can say you used duct tape as intended. Hopefully this has been helpful. Good luck!

This over-range vent is configurable in multiple ways and has a strong fan. Everything you need is included except the power cord which you can scavenge from your old hood and several videos can show you show to safely and easily do it. It should be a two man job but with a little cursing and swearing I had it out of the box and installed by myself in about an hour. So far it’s been easy to keep clean and looks great

Great product and install was way.

Well built. The finish is great, easy to clean
