Strong suction and bright, even lighting make it a solid step up from a cabinet-mounted hood, but check installed noise expectations carefully since reports on this diverge.

Overview
A 30-inch wall-mount chimney-style range hood combining a 3-speed exhaust fan with two built-in LED lights, designed to replace cabinets over a wall-facing stove. It can be ducted through 6-inch round ductwork or run non-ducted with a separately sold recirculation kit.
Broan-NuTone rates it at a maximum 390 CFM and 9.0 sones, and reviewers who compared it to a prior hood generally rank the lighting and suction ahead of what they had before. Noise experiences vary sharply between buyers, which is worth weighing given how central quiet operation is to a range hood's appeal.
- Max 390 CFM / 9.0 sones, 3-speed push-button fan
- Dual integrated LED lights, up to 5.5W bulbs
- Convertible: 6-inch round ducted or non-ducted with add-on kit
- Dual dishwasher-safe aluminum grease filters
Who it's for
Homeowners replacing cabinets over a wall-mounted stove who want a chimney-style hood, have 30 to 36 inches of clearance above the cooktop, and can run or already have 6-inch round ducting.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Multiple reviewers describe the suction and lighting as a clear upgrade over an older hood or bare cabinets, and call installation manageable for a confident DIYer. The sharpest negative is noise: one buyer calls the lowest setting the loudest kitchen fan they've experienced despite professional installation, while another found suction strong but the unit loud until removing the small wing vents; a third mentions difficulty sourcing a matching flue extension separately.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Suction strength is praised repeatedly across reviews
- Dual LED lights illuminate the full cooktop evenly
- Grease filters are dishwasher safe with quick-release latches
- At least one buyer found the lowest fan speed the loudest hood they've owned
- Matching duct flue extensions can be hard to source separately
- The recirculation kit for non-ducted installs is sold separately, not included
Performance notes
Push-button controls run three fan speeds up to 390 CFM, and dual dishwasher-safe aluminum grease filters use quick-release latches for cleaning. One reviewer found that removing the small wing vents on the unit noticeably cut down noise.
