Cosmo UMC30 Range Hood

We've had our range hood installed for about 2 weeks now and are very happy with it! It works much better than the old model it replaced (no idea on CFMs or age of that thing but it was time for a replacement, ha). This thing is also BEAUTIFUL which was a big selling point for me. I love that it has buttons only and no digital clock or touch pad... less potential for malfunctions down the road, plus I already have digital clocks on my microwave, coffee maker, and oven all within a foot of each other and this range hood... I can't tell you how glad I am not to have an extra clock to reset every time the power goes out lol. This is very quiet on the first setting, still relatively quiet on medium, and creates a decent bit of noise on the highest setting but you are moving a lot of air at that point so I think it's well in line with what I'd expect for the performance. Suction has been impressive to me on all settings, and we haven't had any issues with rattling. It isn't heavy as far as these things go, but it was still a bit of a beast to install as DIYers just because of the nature of the item and location you're putting it (my husband and I did this while I was 8 months pregnant so it's quite doable for the DIY crowd, just not EASY). Definitely recommend two people for install if you're not a pro, and using the box and styrofoam packaging to prop it up while you work helps a lot. Oh and as some others mentioned- yes, it was a pain to peel off the protective film but it was totally worth it to me to have a product that is in pristine shape and undamaged, I peeled while watching TV and it was fine. In the end I'm very happy with the item and would recommend!

We just bought this to replace an old under-cabinet microwave (our house had a vent to the roof installed, just not connected). We were debating whether to go with this model, or the all digital model that came with a remote. The reviews were substantially better with this unit (the all digital had electrical component issues it seemed). We are VERY happy with the final result. It still is partially digital, and has elegant buttons instead of clunky knobs. It looks amazing in our new kitchen remodel. This unit requires three prong outlet (not hardwired). The vent comes out of the top of the unit, although it does come with flex tubing, so you could route it back after it routes into the cabinet, though that would probably be less than ideal. It has an automatic damper already in the unit that opens and closes when you turn it on and off. It came with 6 screws and screw supports for installation, which would have probably been fine, but for the extra support, we used locking bolts. Pros: Looks high end...definitely a centerpiece. Works VERY well Cost is very reasonable compared to other models we shopped Easy to use Straightforward installation. Did I mention it looks amazing? Cons: The highest setting is a little loud, but we would only need to use that setting in extreme circumstances. Very happy with the choice we made. If I had the purchase to do over again, I would.

This hood has worked great for us. The installation was moderately hard but not worth calling someone to do it for you. It is really nice looking. The lights are nice and bright. The suction is adequate. You can only hear it in the next room on high. In the kitchen, you can talk to others on medium. The bottom vents remove for cleaning. I wish they fit a little tighter, but they won't fall off. Overall, I would buy it again.

This is the first time that a range hood has really worked for me, you can see the smoke leave through it and if you go outside you can feel the air come out really strong! Very recommended, seeing the high quality of the brand makes me wish I had invested in the larger one for aesthetic purposes.

Super fast amazon delivery a day and a half. If you're at all handy with tools this is a pretty easy install. (I had to do a lot of pre-installation modifications to my cabinets since we got rid of an overhead microwave and put in this range hood. We don't have an outside duct and we cook with a lot of curry. If you go "ductless" you have to do something with the exhaust so I made a 4" x 30" x 12" vent box that sits between the cabinet and the new hood. I screwed the top of the hood into the bottom of the box and cut a 6" hole for the exhaust to enter the vent box. I made a grill from some ornamental sheet metal and placed it over the front of the box. The cleaned exhaust exits out this overhead box. It seems to work pretty well so far. I'll update in a couple weeks. The stainless steel filters that sit over the burners are a "new design" so we'll see how well they work. All else is good so far. 3 speed fan is wicked powerful on "high". Control panel is glitch free so far. Only one comment...the geometry of the unit is a little weird--the mounting surface is not parallel with the bottom edges. Hence the bottom edges (of the sides) seem to rise about an inch toward the front of the unit. I rechecked my mounting and sure enough the design is just a little weird. I'm over it now. Will update in a couple weeks. UPDATE: After a couple of weeks still a 5 star. The small bit of work I did for the exhaust is well worth it. I've installed a charcoal filter in that box so the air is even more filtered. The hood does what it's supposed to.

Decent product for the price, suction from the vents could be better and lights are not the brightest, I guess that's what you get with more expensive hood vents. All in all it is decent, hopefully it lasts a long time.
