ELITE 48" Range Hood, 1200 CFM Blower, 2-Way

We had the Elite E6000 30 in professionally installed during our remodel in 2015 because is it listed as commercial grade. We have had so many problems, it leaks grease incessantly, it started turning off intermittently about a year ago, now, ot no longer works. We clean avidly because we cook frequently. Plus, it sprays grease out the vent. Beautiful sleek product, poor quality.

It arrived with next to no packaging and without a protective plastic film. It also is missing the removable grease drip rail. Other than these issues, it runs as expected and promised.

I gather by reading the other reviews they did not understand what this is. This is a near commercial grade 1200CFM vent hood and requires make-up ventilation to operate properly. I would also recommend ducting as large, short and straight as you can get away with. It really added a professional appearance to my kitchen. I can barely smell the food as I'm cooking it inside the house. Outside is a different story, It blows air 30 feet away from the house down to the first floor! The dishwasher safe grates clean easily. I am on a septic system so I use a caustic cleaner PBW in a tote and dump the water outside. 1 year and no problems so far. I would recommend this for serious cooks who aren't bothered by the fans and are more concerned about performance.

I have this hood installed about a 36 Wolf Range Top. The hood only excels at making noise. It is so loud that I force myself not to use it. The stench of grilled salmon is better than the sound this machine omits. From a perceptive of ventilation I am equally unimpressed. I am currently shopping now for a new hood. In my opinion I have wasted $1000+.

Very well built unit, i purchase range hood and the decorative extender. Products arrived in perfect condition, packaging was very professional. The instructions are well written. Very nice!
