It's compact, lightweight, and very easy to move, perfect for small spaces or for using it right where you need it.

I’m really impressed with this TUCO portable range hood. I live in an apartment without a built-in exhaust fan, and this has made a huge difference when cooking. It does a great job removing smoke, odors, and grease, especially when frying or using an indoor grill. The 3-speed settings are very useful, and even on the highest speed it’s relatively quiet. I also appreciate the multi-layer filter system and the oil cup, which makes cleaning easy. The design is modern, compact, and looks great on the countertop. It’s lightweight, easy to move, and perfect for apartments, dorms, or anyone who needs a smokeless cooking solution. Definitely worth the purchase — I would highly recommend it!

We were having issues with the extractor at the kitchen. We think that it was not enough. But now with this portable range hood it is working perfectly fine. It has even sometimes issues with the smoke when we are cooking and not anymore. I love that it's possible to have a big coverage of the area. Now, with us, we are not cleaning that much because it's helping us to avoid additional mess around the kitchen area and cabinets.

I bought this portable range hood for my kitchen because I don't have a traditional one installed, and it has exceeded all my expectations. From the very first use, you can tell how well it works; it eliminates smoke, strong odors, and most cooking fumes quickly and quietly. The triple filtration system—mesh, condensation, and activated carbon—really helps trap grease and odors. Plus, the three speed settings are useful; you can set it to a low speed for light cooking or a high speed when there's a lot of smoke.

1. Noise level is average, there is a higher speed setting where it gets slightly noisier but nothing overwhelming. 2. This size is convenient to keep on any counter near your cooktop. 3. The build looks sleek. there is a small metal circle that is inlaid in the port meant to connect the fan to power. This little circle piece popped out after 2 weeks of use. There is a removable plastic filter piece that is designed to sit inside the fan and can be removed for ease of cleaning. There are also 2 carbon filters that come with the device that are not noted or explained in the manual so I figured that out in my own to place in the back of the removable plastic filter. They don’t seem to do much for absorbing smell but are better than just using the plastic filter on its own. 4. This definitely creates air flow which can be seen by the cooling vapors getting sucked into the fan. However, I found that it does not remove greasy cooking air. There’s a small compartment in the back of the fan to supposedly collect cooking oils out of the air it sucks in. This is shown in their video. I’ve used this device now for over a month with both types of filter settings and on all speed settings - it has never collected a drop. It remains dry and clean, untouched. 5. This device does not significantly cut down on cooking fumes or greasy cooking fumes. I live in a studio so that’s why I wanted something to reduce cooking fumes but this just spread the air around. It’s overpriced at $100 for what it claims to do. I unfortunately cannot return it because I’ve had the product past the return window date as I tried to give it a chance.

I did a test, cooking four hamburger patties in a blazing hot cast iron skillet. In the past, this would have smoked up our kitchen and left grease everywhere. I placed this device, running on high, about 6 inches from the pan. Amazingly, it got most of the smoke and nearly all the splattered grease on the side of the pan near the fan. When I cleaned it later, I found well over a tablespoon of grease in the grease cup, grease that would have been all over the kitchen. Why 3 stars? As I was cooking, I noticed the outer "polymer filter" wrinkling from the heat. I cleaned the filter assembly and tried to reassemble it but the outer filter was too distorted to go back in the filer ring. I contacted Tuco about this issue and all they said was not to place it closer than 4 inches from the pan, which I had not. So I returned the item. It's a shame. They'd have a decent product if they used high-temperature plastic for their filters. Based on my results, it's not made for hot cooking as I did, but given that it couldn't withstand a single use at these temperatures, I'm sure it would gradually degrade even with lower-temperature cooking.

This portable range hood works surprisingly well for its size. It helps reduce smoke and cooking odors quickly, and I love that it doesn’t require installation. It’s compact, easy to use, and perfect for small kitchens or apartments. Overall, it’s a very practical and convenient solution.
