Product Overview
30" Range Hood with the FIT System
Installing this stove hood is quick and easy. The FIT system eliminates measuring, cutting and filler strips for a smooth fit every time. Once installed, the hood vent kitchen fan operates at a quiet 57 dBA (1.9 sones)1 at its lowest of three fan speeds so it won't disturb family time in the kitchen. Plus, halogen lighting helps you keep a close eye on food so each dish turns out the way you want it to. And when cooking introduces steam, grease, smoke or odors into the surrounding air, a powerful 350 CFM motor class takes care of it.

Extremly HOT halogen bulbs
This was an upgrade that was installed in our home when it was built 2 years ago. I accidently brushed my left index finger against the glas lamp enclosure, 2nd degree burns was the result...not vey happy. With the advent of terrific LED lighting these days I intend to replace those halogen lamps with LED replacements.

One major unresolved flaw! Yuck!
When you boil a large pot of water for about 20 - 25 minutes, like when you're boiling pasta or canning, condensation collects in mesh of hood and runs down in a trickle on your stove , splashing into any open pans/pots. A Lowe's appliance technician checked it out and verified hood was properly installed and vented to outside. This technician was so baffled by what he witnessed that he called Whirlpool tech. support and went through all the authorized checks with him still on the phone. Whirlpool tech.'s advice was a basic lesson on how condensation forms and to always use lids. Whirlpool twice scheduled other (Whirlpool authorized) appliance technicians to investigate. Both times I waited around to later call and ask why they didn't come and was told that neither one serviced hoods. Upper level Whirlpool supervisors (Executive Office - called twice) said nothing would be done because technician (first non-Whirlpool authorized one) said it was operating 'properly'. With some coaching on my part, one service rep. agreed to order me a new mesh to try and my 1 year warranty was extended another 6 months. I am not very hopeful this unusual problem will be resolved. I am mainly disappointed in Whirlpool's robotic adherence to policy instead of using common sense. I repeatedly asked if they'd be happy if it was happening in their home. I gave the hood a three star rating because other than this icky problem when I boil a big pot of water, the hood is attractive, bright and draws very well. Whirlpool, however gets a one star.

Two Major Problems
After installing and removing the protective coating found a dent in the front side of the hood. Hardly noticeable however the dent created a sharp edge. So I thought I could remove the filter and push the dent out from the side of the hood. Unfortunately the Phillip head screw used to hold the filter is stripped and it is impossible to remove the filter. I paid $100 to have this installed and now I am out the cost of the hood and the installation cost.

Simple and sleek
We have had this for a few weeks now and it works great. This was my husband's first time installing a range hood, and installation was fairly easy with no major problems. The underneath side looks really nice compared to other hoods in the same price range. My only complaints are that the fan can be quite loud on the highest setting, and the halogen lights get really hot. I'm hoping I can replace them with LED bulbs. Overall though, I am satisfied with this purchase.

Outstanding Looking Range Hood
I bought this Stainless Steel Range Hood about 3 weeks ago to replace an older hood and to match the new Stainless Steel Range which we also purchased. They installed it the next day. Installation was very fast and installer was very capable and he even commented on its looks as he had never seen one before. Fit was perfect, looks Outstanding. Better than the previous model. Wife is Extremely happy with it and takes great care in keeping it looking like new. Very glad to have made this purchase and everyone who has seen it have commented on it.

Easy on the eyes, easy to install
Since I didn't have a vent to outside, I was looking for a stylish range hood that had the functions I needed; variable speeds, good lighting. But my first choice was that it as a recirculating hood. The underside of this range hood, has a grease filter, but since I was using it as recirculating hoot, I ordered a set of carbon filters as well form Whirlpools website. What is really unique are the air vents on top of the hood, you don't even see them, they certainly push out a lot air. This Wirlpool range hood met all my needs and if I ever put in a vent to outside, it can easily convert to handle that as well.

Great Ventilation
The hood has great lighting to go along with a quiet yet good fan. All the steam/smoke from our stove top cooking gets sucked right out of our kitchen.
