Slim & Quiet

Ash276 9/16/2026

Love this Ventilation Hood! It was a pain to install and it definitely makes up for it's "slim" size by taking up a lot of cabinet space but I knew that going into it. The hood looks great, is super quiet and is pretty powerful. When cooking steak on the cooktop we finally have a smoke free house! I wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

Great for small spaces

Rogers Kitchenaid 9/1/2026

We really like the feel and efficiency of the hood vent. It is a little noisy when operating on high speed. Fits perfectly in a small space and provides more efficiency than it does esthetic value. Unit seems very sturdy and handles cooking odors well.

Well built. Horrible installation instructions

drvjdv 10/9/2024

I bought this to replace an older KitchenAid vent damaged by an electrical surge. The unit is very well built and made of quality material. HOWEVER, the installation instructions are horrible. The screws and bolts are not identified with a picture. The bolts to join the upper unit to the lower unit were too short to reach between the two parts. Good luck with the installation. You are on your own. Hope you live close to a hardware store.

A really quiet & effective exhaust

MiPoNy 10/3/2024

We installed it easily a week ago and used it several times. The low profile is perfect for our tighter kitchen and it really seems to exhaust well. Tried it searing a brisket and worked very well. Impressed with the quiet efficiency of it.

quiet, sleek, nice task lights

drs56 8/13/2023

I wanted an undercounter hood and I had existing cabinets and traditional hoods were too low. This one fill the need but required significant installation modifications for me. I like the 3 speed fans and its quiet on high compared to my previous microwave vent hood. The task lights are nice with two settings. Wish there was a even a lower settings. Generally I am very pleased and one downgraded one star because it was not easy to install. I wish I could give a 4.5 rating because I like the look and function after installed.

Nice Range Hood

US Army Retired 8/12/2023

Nice hood, easy to install. I did a custom installation, built the cabinet to fit including recirculating vent. The project came out looking great. The only downside is the hood is noisier than I expected.

Worst experience with a Kitchenaid Product

CherylAW317 5/21/2023

I purchased this hood from Lowes and paid a contractor $500 to install. Within the first week the lights stopped working. I contacted Kitchenaid and after repairman coming (couldn't order the parts to fix) they decided to exchange it. Because they don't contract with any installers in this area they will do a pick up and drop off only. I have to pay contractor to remove and reinstall. They sent me a prepaid Visa for $150 "to cover my costs". Despite hours on the phone with customer service I was verbally told they would be at my home tomorrow but have not received any confirmation. It is Sunday and no one to call. Although I was assured by customer service they attached my email to this order/exchange when I enter my email and log into "my account" there is no information available on this exchange. I have a contractor scheduled to be here tomorrow but don't know if he is wasting his time or they will actually show up. This has been a nightmare and although I have purchased many Kitchenaid appliances I am not sure I will ever again. Completely disappointed in every aspect of this purchase and Kitchenaid's response to a defective product.

Broken already

Puloman 2/10/2023

We have had our Range hood less than a year and the lights already quite working. We had the technician come by on 9 Feb 2023 after waiting a month to have the Range hood repaired. He came determined what was wrong then said we have to order the parts for it and he would owe back. When my wife called to have this repaired they told her they would bring parts. We have no clue about how long the parts are going to take to get here. and when the technician will return. The technician comes down from Islamorada, FL to Key West only on Thursday. Can someone please tell me when our Range hood will be repaired? It is a great Range hood when it is working. Thank you, Crispulo Garcia

Great range hood quite, but tricky to install.

Jimww7 1/18/2023

I would have given this a five start except for the poor install instructions. My cabinet depth is 14" versus the standard 12". A templet would have been very helpful alining the hood and the instructions better explained. After removing the old range hood I had a gap on the back wall. I first had to add tile up the back splash so that after the install the new hood would fit tight against it. the back wall.

Quiet, effective, very sleek and minimalist

cgmurray 12/23/2021

Must install hood BEFORE tiling backsplash - lower portion of hood will not align with portion in the cabinet if lower portion is not fully back to the sheet rock of the wall. Installation requires patience to follow directions carefully as it is not as simple as attaching a few screws. The bottom panel of the cabinet is cut out. The end result is quiet and sleek and very effective. Lighting is excellent but the manual does state the bulbs have to be changed by a technician. My review would be five stars if installation was easier.

Could be better product

Better-not-say 10/12/2021

During the installation I discovered that the flap was installed the wrong way, namely opposite and upon air flow it blocked the pipe. Had to reverse it manually. Second and most irritating is that after few month the motor started creating screeching and whining noise when it was put to Medium speed. I'm a loyal client to Kitchenaid and this is second product that made me think properly before I buy Kitchaid product

What a change

Old Fart 5/14/2021

I took out a useless microwave with a recycling exhaust fan and installed the new kitchen aid fan. Normally I do not read instructions, but I found these very helpful. The hardest part was cutting out the the bottom of the existing cabinet and the hole in the top for the vent pipe. Even so I had the unit in and through the ceiling in about an hour and a half. I put in the pipe and insulated it to the roof. I chickened out about cutting a hole in my roof and spent a week trying to find a roofer to put on the roof vent. I can now cook bacon inside and even use the wok without stinking up the house. It was definitely worth the effort.

Really Quiet and slim design

Conchi339 3/16/2021

Bought the Under-Cabinet Vent Hood, and was really excited, because I wanted all KitchenAid products in my newly remodeled kitchen. Unfortunately it arrived with a part missing and I am still waiting to get it installed. I do like the vent hood, it is very quiet, and glad to have purchased it. Just wish I can get the support from KA after spending so much on the product. Giving 4 stars since it arrived defective.

Tricky install, performs great

Notsayin 8/3/2020

Kitchen Aid Range Hood Glad to have bought all Kitchen Aid appliances finally. The Range Hood, as with the others I™€™d well designed with common sense features, with a few improvements the Range Hood would be easier to install. Firstly the power cord would be best connected at the side of the unit, current position at top was inconvenient for install & location. Secondly the installation bracket segment of the installation instructions is incorrect, position 3 did not work for my 5/8 cabinet so I used position 4 as if it were 3/4 & still needed the washers. The description for step 3 on page 11 is brief but not wrong, the illustration unfortunately confounds everything. Contrary to the illustration I had to notch the bottom of the back of the cabinet so the bracket could be installed higher with the flat section at the base of the lower bracket just beneath the cabinet side panel edges as in pic after install as in pic. I had to remove & redo bracket location 4 times dry fitting everything with the cabinet off the wall to ensure a snug fit. The 4 hooks to suspend the unit until final positioning completed is ingenious but of course complicated the equipment & therefore this part of the installation. Hope this helps!

Love Sleek Ergonomic Profile--Ouchless Corners

BluEgg 5/27/2020

Generally Love all Kitchenaid products. The ONLY downside to this particular range hood was the difficulty of installation. Because it fits into a very small space, my husband ended up redoing EVERYTHING (ie. the old range hood was a different brand and the venting configuration was entirely different). He had to redo: inside venting, outside air venting duct (which required drilling a new hole in the stucco), cabinetry (both size of cabinet and outside facing of cabinet), drywall, electrical socket location. LOVE this product but it was a pain in the axe to install. Recommend it highly if you are hiring a professional to install. Not for the casual OR even the journeyman do-it-your-selfer. Would have given it 5 stars if not for this. Sound levels are nicely low, but you have to do the duct work correctly!

Install problems

Morris 32 11/18/2019

the side brackets for a 30 inch cabinet will not work. the hood is 26 inches wide. So if put the bracket as told on inside flush the space between the two bracket are more than 26 inches. I have seen other reviews to add shims . which I will do. plus will have to cut the bracket at the back to make them fit to go up into the cabinet. This is so uncalled for your company to design it to have to do all these things to fix. Maybe you have put brackets for a 36 inch cabinet in the 30 inch box. I am not one to complain. This is to help you all to fix the problem. I will call when I finish this to see if you have a bracket that will work

CB 1947 5/2/2019

Product is great the installation manual for those of us who don't do this type of work all the time, is horrible. No mention of the need to shim the sides of the 30 inch cabinet. No illustration in the manual of the installed unit shimmed.

There is nothing not to like about this hood. It's modern and works really well. We have it vented to the outside, so no more smoke in the kitchen. We had a really difficult hood set-up to replace and this was just what we needed. Highly recommend.
