Overview
A 36-inch under-cabinet range hood rated at 900 CFM with twin centrifugal motors, a 4-speed touch screen with remote, two 3W LED lights, and three dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters.
EKON positions this as a step up from a typical builder-grade hood, and several reviewers who replaced a plastic-housed factory unit describe it that way, citing quieter operation and stronger suction than what it replaced. The company backs the motor with a 10-year support window and accessories with 5 years. Reported experiences on suction strength and long-term reliability vary more than the marketing copy suggests.
- 900 CFM, twin centrifugal motors
- 4-speed touch screen with remote
- 3 dishwasher-safe stainless filters
- 10-year motor support, 5-year accessories
Who it's for
Suits kitchen renovators replacing a weak or noisy builder-grade hood who want a 36-inch stainless unit with remote control and dishwasher-safe filters. Less ideal for anyone whose ducting differs from the hood's 6-inch outlet without a reducer, or who wants guaranteed long-term reliability.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers who replaced older or builder-grade hoods generally praised the look, quieter operation and dishwasher-safe filters, with EKON's customer service singled out for replacing a unit with weak suction. Complaints included a 6-inch outlet needing a duct reducer, a two-step control sequence to turn on the fan, and a smaller number of reports of switches or motors failing within weeks.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters
- Remote and touch screen controls
- Quieter than several replaced builder-grade hoods
- 6-inch outlet may need a reducer for 7-inch ducting
- Two-step control to turn on hood then fan
- A few reports of suction or switch issues
Performance notes
The hood runs on twin centrifugal motors across 4 speeds, rated up to 900 CFM and a claimed max of 65dB, with a touch screen and remote for control and a 1-15 minute delay shut-off. Reviewers who upgraded from builder-grade hoods report noticeably quieter operation and stronger draw, and describe the filters as easy to clean in a dishwasher. Others report weaker-than-expected suction on arrival, one resolved by a replacement unit from customer service, and a few describe the outlet needing a 6-to-7-inch duct reducer, a two-step power-on sequence, or motor and switch issues appearing within weeks.
