Range hoods under cabinet Vent a hood vs Kobe
Comments (3)@sarina: I have had the Kobe RA02 for about 8 months now. Being an engineer, I did the install myself, although the chimney cover is still not in place, as I need to redo the crown molding behind it (procrastination is the name of this game). Overall I like it, but that doesn't say much, as my previous ventilation was just a fan-in-a-ceiling-hole. The quiet setting is quiet, but the other two are noisy; without previous experience, the "sones" numbers don't translate well into actual noise levels. Otherwise, on High, the hood is pulling out all the smoke and airborne grease steaks in a cast-iron skillet produce. You will have to open a window or install a MUA to help it pull all that air volume. The baffles need scrubbing every month or so, but that's a very small price to pay for not having cabinetry and walls smeared in grease. The model you're looking at is a little more elaborate, as it has some sort of electronic control. The RA02 is bare-bones, just two rotary switches....See MoreUpgrade under cabinet range hood to wall-mounted range hood
Comments (15)Hello Houzz Community! I found this thread when Googling a similar topic. I'd like to replace my under cabinet hood with a wall mounted hood, and yes I know I have to remove the cabinet above the current hood which I'm fine with (see photo). My existing under cabinet hood vents out the wall to the side of my house - see photo, and note the vent is not blocked by those shrubs, there is space around it, you just can't tell from the angle of the photo :-) So my question is....can a wall mounted hood be installed to vent out the existing vent in the wall, or does a vent need to be created in the ceiling? Also, what type of professional can help answer any related questions I have about this? Would I ask the wall mounted vent manufacturer? Or a handyman? Thank you in advance for any guidance! I am a newbie homeowner and am learning as I go, so truly appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge with me!...See More15" deep cabinets. 12" under cabinet hood - please help me fix this
Comments (11)Thanks Joseph. I was able to find a stainless piece to cover up the gap. My only concern now is whether I need to attach a piece of wood to the back, so I can mount the hood to the wall. Is mounting it to the bottom of the cabinet enough? My husband seems to think it is fine. But I don’t want it to fall down. We initially want to mount it to both the wall and cabinet, so it has extra support....See MoreIssue installing under mount range hood with an existing cabinet hole
Comments (8)First of all, thank you everyone for taking the time to address my issue. So per suggestions from the post, i increased the hole size in the cabinet and was finally able to attach the hood to the cabinet with all screws in. As the new hole size is approximately 8 inches, so i bought a 8 inch to 6 inch duct reducer. Now my problem is that the if i try connect one 6 inch adjustable elbow with the 8-6 inch reducer.. it is just short (they don't connect) - Shown in the picture and if i were to use 2 adjustable elbows then the part of hole in the cabinet will remain exposed.. I am not sure, What are my options? can i buy one 6 inch piece somewhere, what is it called? Any suggestions or thoughts are much appreciated. Thanks...See Moreineedsomespace
