*Ekon 900 CFM (Same as above regarding no site of their own and Amazon only. *iKitch 900 CFM (Only available of Amazon and no brand website of their own, but this was recommended by Bob Villa, which seems like a reputable review source) (10 year warrantee on motor and 5 year on control panel and lights) I found only one that’s 500 CFM, so I wonder if this brand is better suited foe electric stoves.) *Z Line 500 CFM (Not sure of warrantee) (Some reputable sites recommend this brand but most of their products are 400 CFM. They range in price from $350-$700.ĭoes anyone have experience (good or bad) with any of these brands? I’m including just brand names and CFM rather than model numbers to keep things simple. Of course, I am a little skeptical of those because I know some of those places get a cut of sales for referrals. 42 cabinets that do not go to the ceiling. Others are only available on Amazon but have been recommended on review websites. We have a 48 Kitchen Aid range, hood, and vent in our new kitchen. Some are brands available at the main big box stores.

I’ve considered all of this in selecting my five options. I’ve also determined baffle filters are easier to clean than mesh filters. My burners total 5,000 BTU so I know I need 500 CFM or more. The design calls for a wall mounted, vented range hood. I’ve picked my fridge, dishwasher and range, but I’m awash in doubt about a good as I’ve never had a gas stove. I have a designer but she does not consult on appliances. Plus it sounds like the premier brand for basic home use. And oddly, the thing that had me spending $500 more was the function that warns you when it’s time to clean the filter. I like the wide range of suction difference. I considered Broan BWP2304SS for 450/220 CFM, but think I’m going to spring die the Zephyr ZSI-E30BS for 650/200 CFM. Update: based on all the input I received, I decided to look for a centrifugal motor, variable speeds and options for a low CFM for days when I’m not frying.
