Range Hoods: Kobe, Cavaliere or ?

12 years ago

We've seen a range hood online by Cavaliere that we like; I haven't seen it in person. Does anyone have experience with this brand and can comment on it? The Cavaliere model is AP238PS and runs about $650

There's a similar looking Kobe that we also like, model, RA9236SQ which runs about $1000. Does anyone have this one?

Both have baffle filters which we like for ease of cleaning, and we like the Euro wall mount style.

If anyone can help with any other recommendations, models or styles, we're all ears.

I don't have the Kobe you listed, but did install another Kobe wall mount, the CH7930SQB. It is a great hood and I have been very happy with it so far (about 8 months). It's quiet (super quiet on the 'Quiet Mode'), easy to clean and very effective even on the lower speeds.

I have not heard of the Cavaliere brand; hopefully someone else can comment on that one for you.

Good luck!

I just bought a Cavaliere on Overstock. It fit the budget, and I gathered on the appliance forum that it's a good alternative. We're still a couple of months or so away from hooking it up.

The hood has seen plenty of action during all these years and it continues to work relatively well — no complaints about its ability to move air. Interesting that you’re asking about the lighting; about a year ago it started malfunctioning, sonetimes it’s dimmer, sometimes it’s even flickering. My guess is that the LEDs are just fine, it’s the supply that is going bad. If it becomes unbearable, I’ll either fix it or replace it with some other supply. Noise level wise, the fan still sounds like when it was brand new, although I can feel some vibration on the medium speed. Maybe a deep cleaning of the fan assembly is in order.

Anyone have experience with Csbaliere Range hoods? We are looking at the 36" euro ApP238 and would appreciate knowing whether others have purchased this brand and why their experience has been. The forum search had just a couple of posts that were mostly from a few years ago.

I thought the Kobe hoods were great, too so we decided on it. We haven't installed it yet, so not much comment on that. Ours is a wall hood, the lowest 122 model 36" and was about half the price, but I don't know what model you are going for. p.

Do some checking on the Appliances Forum for this brands. Based on many months of research there and here, I had decided on a Kobe hood until I found a deal on the custom one I have. Kobe has a decent rep as a solid, middle of the road hood. Cavaliere doesn't seem to. I think you get what you pay for with those.
