Overview
EKON's 36-inch insert hood is built to recess into a cabinet or custom hood enclosure rather than mount on its own, delivering 900 CFM suction through 4-speed push-button control. It converts between ducted and ductless operation, with a charcoal filter included for ductless installs.
As an insert, this unit is meant to disappear into a custom hood enclosure your cabinetry or contractor builds around it, a different installation job than a standalone wall-mount hood. EKON lists noise from 40 dB on low up to 65 dB at top speed, and several owners confirm it stays quiet until pushed to maximum suction.
- 36-inch insert-style range hood
- Ducted or ductless convertible design
- 4-speed push-button control
- 2 adjustable LED lights
Who it's for
Fits kitchens with an existing or planned cabinet cutout sized for a 36-inch insert, including custom carpentry projects. Not the right pick if you need a hood that mounts on its own without a surrounding enclosure.
Pros and cons
- 900 CFM rated suction for high-heat cooking
- Charcoal filter included for ductless setup
- Dishwasher-safe stainless steel filters
