Several years ago we looked at exactly that hood when we were trying to find a hood that went with our Chambers B range. The Vent-a-Hood Excalibur is the same or similar to your photo. They come in several different heights (as well as widths). Here is a link to the Excalibur page on the Vent-a-Hood site: Aga also makes a similar shape hood. Here is a link that might be useful: vent a hood excalibur

hollysprings, I will keep that in mind with regards to the width, depth and ornamentation. I do like Marthastoo hood, enough but not to much detail. The picture I posted I think would have looked a little better if it was a little wider to match the drawer base with applied legs. I think the bead board draws your attention because of the width of the hood. Also, I think that the crown molding is a little busy too. That's one thing that I love above this forum, you get all types of advice from everyone.

Thanks for the replies. I went to the library to a different computer (Firefox) to be able to answer. After I came back from Abt yesterday, it occurred to me that they had a lot more of the “professional” style ranges on display than the 30 inch freestanding I need. And that was not even in the designer showrooms. So I think they are going more high-end. I want to keep it under $1500. The repair of my shorted-out 11 year old Maytag Gemini double oven would be ~ $500. $500 was my threshold for just buying new rather than repairing it. The current model Maytag Gemini is $1500. So that’s how I arrived at that figure. (Reviews I read said that Maytag is no longer a reliable brand, so I have eliminated it from the running). My husband thinks $1500 is more than enough, so I can’t go higher. Other brands of double ovens with a few less features start at $1200. I went to Home Depot today; they had the exact same models I saw at Abt. Nothing new. The prices were also the same. I’d forgotten about Best Buy. Thanks, lascatx, I’ll check that one out. There is a good appliance store about 20 miles away, where I went to buy my Speed Queen washer. I can stop at a Best Buy and a Lowe’s on my way there. The black stainless, from what I can see, looks like a dark grey. I think that would go almost as well as black. So if I can just see one, or a piece of it large enough to judge by, that increases my options. The one I like best so far is LG double oven convection. The drawback to that is that the center range top burner is an oval, to accommodate the grill pan. A burner grate AND the griddle pan comes with it. But, all the gas stoves in my range have an oval burner. I will likely not have any use for it. That does come in the black stainless finish, though they will have to order it. Price $ 1300. Another one I like is GE, double oven convection, virtually the same, only for that you have to order a burner grate to replace the griddle it comes with. That one comes in a “Slate” dark grey finish, which looks much like a dark grey metallic automotive paint. Price also $ 1300. I see no advantage to that, as the LG comes with a glide-out rack, which I like. That also has an oval center range top burner. A model a step up has a center burner that can be either an oval or switch to a round. THAT would be useful….but I’d have to pay $400 more for that! Freeoscar, my house came with a double oven. Not like they come now: the smaller oven was in the same position as an over the range microwave. Yet it was a range, all one piece, and not a wall oven. I liked it so much that when I remodeled 11 years ago, I looked for another double oven and bought the Maytag Gemini, which was the only double oven available at that time. It’s true that the bottom ovens in the current models are lower down. I plan to get one with a gliding rack, which is a feature I have now that I use all the time. Except for the rare batch of cookies or scones (my husband no longer eats carbs, and our kids have griown, so I'm not as motivated to bake as before), and holiday dinners, we use the top smaller oven almost all the time. Broiling fish, homemade pizza, and just browning something quickly.

Matching the brand doesn't matter in the least. If you are going to spend money on a hood, aren't you concerned with its functionality? What is the good of spending money on a hood if it doesn't work well? What cfms does it have? Is its depth more that 22" front-to-back so that the front burners aren't left uncovered? Does it have baffle filters (not mesh filters)? What size of duct does that hood require, and is that the size duct you have? Look at the Best by Broan hoods, or look at Costco which has good deals. If you have the space, you should have a 36" wide hood for your 30" range.
