Modernaire hood damage
Comments (7)I remember my retailer telling me that MA can be difficult and that it was very important for me to inspect the hood when it was being unpacked and before it was installed because otherwise MA would not accept that the damage was their fault. It sounds like the damage was there when it came out of the box. I would think that MA would make good on it for you....See MoreEBM-Pabst Motor in Modernaire Hood ---??
Comments (3)Is that the internal blower? The rep I spoke with yesterday said the external blowers are Abbaka's. I asked about pairing my own Fantech blower (I believe that people here on the forum have done that and saved some $ that way), and he didn't say it was impossible, but he ragged on Fantech a bit. I didn't ask about the internal blowers though....See MoreHood decision - Help!! Wood hood or Modernaire PS26?
Comments (14)Thanks so much for your responses! anna_chosak - the overall depth of the hood will stay the same 24", but the curve won't be as pronounced since the top will be 15 3/4" deep instead of 12" deep. Pat did a drawing of it with the dimensions and it looked ok, but I like the look of the 12" deep at the top better but that won't work for us unless we do option #2 in my post above and that causes issues w/ crown molding! I looked into the 30" tall(& brought it up again to DH after seeing these responses), but DH really doesn't like it - too big and too much metal he says. Same with the stainless duct cover. What size, color and trim options are you ordering? How is your layout with the cabinets around it - are your cabinets to the ceiling? Pat at Modernaire has definitely been great to deal with! jillsee & Pevo - I do like the wood hood too, but just not too sure if it would be too dark since we are going w/ dark cabs! Geesh, I really wish I could see all these options in my kitchen IRL! breezygirl - that's the only place where we have cabs of different heights only b/c of the hood venting. I suggested to DH perhaps we should look at extending cabs to the ceiling with maybe stacking 12" glass front on top and he didn't like that idea at all (I'm not too sure I like it either - seems like it would make the room smaller since we're going with dark cabs). Any thoughts on that? sayde - I was all ready to go with the wood hood but then thought it would look to heavy and dark and stainless would really break up that wall of dark cabs. I do like both though and they are so different!! DH vetoed the duct cover - too much metal. remodelfla - I so wish we could back vent so I wouldn't have to put anything above the hood for the venting! histokitch - can you expand more on what you area suggesting? I'm trying to picture it - are you talking like a vertical "soffit" above the hood? celineke - I know - they are 2 completely different looks and I am having such a hard time deciding!! I do love the PS26(DH not so much though), but I'm afraid I will disappointed with the way it looks w/ the modifications that would make it work with our cabs. And I love the look of the wood hood too, but I don't know if I'll love it IRL since I've only seen a drawing of it! I think that's the issue on why I can't make a decision on this - b/c it's a big decision (and not a cheap one!) and I don't know if I'm going to love it. It took us a long time to pick out the cabinet color - but once we saw kitchenaddict's KM peppercorn kitchen and then ordered a sample door, we both agreed that was definitely the color we wanted (which so surprised us b/c we were not looking at dark cabs at all!). DH cannot believe that I'm still wavering on this decision after 2 weeks! Thanks so much for taking the time to look at my post and respond with suggestions. I really appreciate it, even though most suggestions I've gone through with DH and he really didn't like (30" tall PS26, stainless duct cover). Any other votes or suggestions? For the option #2 which has the issue with the crown return from adjacent cabs, does anyone have pictures of kitchen cabs & hood where this was done??...See MoreModernaire (Fantech) vs Wolf 1200 cfm hood insert
