Last refreshed Jun 13, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
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.
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.
Pros and cons
- 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.
