Wall mount range hood or under cabinet range hood?
Comments (5)If you look at the Modern-Aire site, they have several shapes where the front tapers at the top to the depth of an upper cabinet, and the sides are straight so as to butt up to, and cover, the yellow cabinet sides you mentioned. Their typical sizes are 18" and 30" high, but you could get a 24" custom one if your budget allows. Or you could get an 18" and have a box made for above it to cover that area and to which you could attach replacement moulding. The box could be made of either wood matching your moulding or sheetrock. Vent-a-hood has a stainless direct replacement if you decide to stick with the same size you now have. I'm attaching the link to the Modern-Aire page that shows their shapes. PS-10, PS-11, and PS-26 all have the characteristics I was talking about above. Here is a link that might be useful: Modern-Aire Hoods...See MoreSlide in range owners (mess)?
Comments (1)I've had three slide-in ranges, and have never had a problem with spills. My current range is by far the best I've had; it's a Maytag smooth-top with a 'lip' around it to contain spills, just bought this past spring. Don't have model number handy. I absolutely love this range and the oven. Wish I'd had it for years, as I do a lot of cooking and baking, particularly at holiday time. HTH...See Morerange and range hood in corner
Comments (5)A corner range takes up a lot of wall space...48" of cabinet space on each side. So, if you have limited cabinet space you may not want to do this. You also may have to build a diagonal wall b/w the two sides. There may be a way around this, but I'm not sure. I suggest you post your layout here and let us help you w/it. See the "Read Me" thread for some info to gives us to help you. Here are some pictures I made up for someone else asking about the amount of room a range/cooktop + hood would take up: Note: Normally, the recommendation is that your range hood be 6" wider than your range. So, if you have a standard 30" range, the hood would be 36". 30" Range/36" Hood: 30" Range/30" Hood: Even w/the smaller wall (but not so attractive wall, IMHO!), you still lose 48" of cabinet space on each wall....See MoreRange Hood Help - in-line fantech but which hood?
Comments (21)In principle, any hood with an internal blower could be gutted of the blower and operated with an in-line or roof mounted blower. (GreenDesigns may have meant that using it while leaving the blower inside would be a poor plan.) I can imagine construction details that might cause non-optimal internal hood flow patterns, but I have no detailed knowledge of the internal construction of myriad hoods to know whether such are prevalent. There may be nanny jurisdictions that would claim that code approval of the hood was violated when it had its blower removed. Any hood available for order without a blower likely is fully compatible with an external blower. This, of course, can be confirmed with the manufacturer. The most important adaptation requirement is that the blower be continuously controllable, and that the hood control be a continuous motor control. A hood with just a few motor speed positions on a switch might require a compatibly-wired motor. While a multi-position hood control could in principle be replaced by a continuous control, par. 2 may apply. When I was doing my kitchen reno, I chose a compatible hood/roof blower combination (supplied by Wolf) because the entire scope of the project (gutting and reconstructing part of a house) made playing with the details of the blower circuit a side project of tertiary importance that I couldn't afford the time to deal with. As it happens, inside my Wolf (Independent) hood is a diac/triac motor control circuit, about the simplest design available that goes back to the '70s. The compatible Wolf (Broan) roof blower uses a typical induction motor that is easily controlled by this type of circuit. The cost versus time value trade-off needs to be considered when dealing with issues like this. kas...See MoreIndie Es
