Monogram ZV850SPSS36 Inch Island Mount Chimney Range Hood with Internal Blower: Stainless Steel

Looks fabulous and functionally superior to older Jen Air - better circulation removal over a 48" range top.

We had this hood before at our first home, and loved it. Over 10 years we needed repairman visits maybe 5 times, but didn't care, because it is stellar. When we finally remodeled the kitchen of our newer home, there was no question which hood we'd have over the gas cooktop. Its "brother" with higher vent strength is not nearly as "Star Wars"-looking. Like the lights, the rail for hanging tools, the multi-strength fan, but most of all, the "look". Be sure to have screen over the exhaust vent outside though, as one of our service calls was from a bird that tried to build a nest in it.

I received this item as part of a promotion from GE Monogram, as a companion to a GE Monogram Dual Fuel 30" Range. These two items replace an aging downdraft range, and are just lovely additions to my kitchen. The entire unit came in a sturdy box with excellent packaging to protect the unit. The stainless and workmanship are excellent. Functionally, the unit works well, and pulls steam and odors from the cooktop. The 4 speed fan is quiet and can be timed to turn off after 5, 10 or 20 minutes. The dimmable and multi level lights offer a nice ambiance when cooking. For now, I am using the recirculating option that works quite well, but eventually will vent it to the outside. For now, however, it vents through the stack and the exhaust exits near the ceiling as cool air. Overall, I am very pleased with the quality, worksmanship and functionality of the hood.
