Replacing the older BQDD130BL, the Broan ALT230BL Elite Atla 2 is a 30-inch black convertible under-cabinet range hood rated at 375 max CFM through Broan's Captur blower and filter system.
Broan pairs the Captur system with dishwasher-safe micro-mesh filters and a filter-clean reminder, and rates the sculpted, tap-touch design for 98.1% smoke and odor removal at its rated CFM. It can run ducted or, with separately sold charcoal filters, ductless, and EZ1 brackets are built for a single installer to mount it in under half the time of older bracket systems.
