Hood Insert vs. Hood w/ Liner?? Pls help, need to decide
Comments (1)As a point of clarification, hoods in general can be separated into two types: (a) self contained having an outside providing some level of acceptable appearance and an inside that contains filters or baffles, possibly a blower or fan; and (b) a liner or insert that is to be put into a hood supplied by someone else and generally made of wood to look like a cabinet; the liner/insert containing hood guts such as filters, blowers, etc. There is no performance difference between a liner having aperture area A and CFM B and a complete hood having aperture area A and CFM B, all else being equal. Liners vs. hoods is an aesthetic consideration. As for what the properties of a good liner or hood should be, you can read the material at my My Clippings for source material, and rummage through this forum reading hood and MUA posts until the basic concepts are clear. I'm not going to rate prices or devices I don't own. kas...See MoreNeed help finding 36' range hood liner/fan
Comments (5)I found this a difficult thing to find and purchase also. The manufacturers tend to sell the hoods in components (liner, hood, motor, muffler, etc), which makes things needlessly confusing for consumers. But after much work (and some research on Gardenweb), I found and just purchased this Kobe unit - model IN2636SQB . It is a hood insert that works with a custom hood cover and it has all the components built in so you don't need to buy seperate motors, housings, etc. This one vents to the outside of your house and has multiple speed settings, with the max at 700 CFM. From what I understand, the unit is fairly quiet and has a well designed motor/fan system. And the price is pretty darned close to your budget. With free shipping, it costs $724. Here is the link to the site that I found to have the best price: http://www.thenaturalhome.com/in026.htm And here is a link with a bit more info about Kobe hoods: http://www.thenaturalhome.com/kobehoodinfo.htm Oh, wait a second. I just noticed that if you pay by check rather than credit card, you can get a 3% discount. This brings your price down to $702. Most of the other units we looked at were pricing out in the low to mid 1000's. Hope this helps. Good luck on your search....See MoreRange hood insert for 36” Fabuwood Hood

Comments (3)I actually ended up with an XO Appliance insert due to some sizing limitations of our hood choice. I wanted baffle filters and around 600 cfm. I think/hope this is a fine mid-priced option! It will be installed in early winter. Good luck!...See Morerichandloraine
