Looks awesome above my new GE range. The color slate is the way to go. No fingerprints and a great color. The LED lighting is perfect.
My previous range hood developed a lighting problem (I like LOTS of light) and needed replacement. This GE was perfect. An exact fit for height, two LED "bulbs" pour prodigious, bright white light onto the range and adjacent counter. Fan a bit noisy, but only used for short bursts. Biggest challenge was finding one in white since Stainless is the rage. Design, construction quality and appearance - all top notch. I am VERY pleased.
The install was easy. This GE range hood looks great and works great. The fan on high keeps the air clear when cooking. The LED lighting is great for lighting the stove and counters. The filters are easy to remove and can be cleaned by putting them in the dish washer.
Solid hood, lights are very bright. Only issue was the filters were slightly bent, but was able to bend them straight.
We purchased this hood to replace a Broan hood from the 80's. Although quieter than the Broan, it's still louder than I'd prefer, but it works well. The lights are bright and the vent covers are easy to remove and clean. No bells and whistles, it's a simple hood, but does what it's supposed to do!
The range hood was exactly what I needed and was easy to install. Fan was a little noisy, but exhaust was powerful. The LED lighting provided plenty of light. The only drawback was the screws needed to attach the charcoal filter were not provided, nor was a description of the screws or a part number.
I'm upgrading my kitchen appliances to stainless steel, so bought this range hood to replace a 30yr. old white GE hood. I have to say the 30 yr. old hood was built much better than this one. The metal is not as good a quality and the fan and housing inside the hood are made of plastic. There is some incorrect information in the listing description which evidentially has been brought to their attention, but it has not been corrected. The listing states the light has a dimmer night light feature which is not correct. The light only has an on/off switch. There is also confusion on which filters are included with the hood. It does include the metal grease filters, but it does not include the charcoal filter which is required when the hood is not vented and used in the recirculation mode. So, I had to make another purchase to order the required filter. The level of noise the fan makes is about normal for any vent hood, but this one definitely moves some air! I've only used the low speed and it is sufficient to do the job. My biggest complaint is the four exposed screw tips on the top of the hood. The cupboard it is attached to is not as deep as the hood, so part of the top is exposed. I did not notice this until after the vent was installed and was wiping across the top of the hood. My rag kept catching on something, so I got the step stool out and looked on top. It wouldn't be so bad if it was the head of the screw that's visible, but it's the pointy end and they are sharp. Thankfully, no one in the family is tall enough to notice this, but I really think GE could do a better job with their craftsmanship. Overall, the range hood looks good, but I just wish it was built better. Will it last 30 years like the old one? Only time will tell.
This is a great addition to my newer stainless steel appliances. The fan has a high and low setting, the higher really pulls the heat and cooking vapors away from the cook. Low setting fairly quiet, a little louder as expected on the high. Single on/off setting for the dual LED lamps, one on each side. (Shines more to the outside edges of the stove.) I added the carbon filter between the fan and the metal grease filters, as I have it as supplied by the factory in the non-vented mode.
The fan is a little loud when you have to use it in the recirculation mode. I does function well to remove the steam and smoke from the cooking area. The lighting is top notch. Very easy to install. Aside from the noise level this is a very good unit.
I ordered the first one in Oct came in damaged. Second came in damaged. Third had no dents but after installed, turned on and fan is hitting housing and light bulbs were blown. Had to take it apart to straighten thin motor mounting tabs that were bent making the fan hit the housing. Wow!
