CIARRA Portable Range Hood, Desktop Range Hood with 2 Speed Exhaust Fan, Detachable Aluminum Filter, Large Oil Collection Cup, Portable Kitchen Exhaust Fan for Indoor BBQ, Hot Pot

After I went to Korea I was looking for one of these and ordered this. It was cheaper than Home Depot for the same exact product and had more color options. I have used this for hot pot Korean bbq shabu shabu fried rice, it works very well. The smell after cooking disappears about a hour or two after I open windows as before we were not able to do it cuz of the smoke and steam. I didn’t even want to try. Very easy to turn on and plug in. Noise level is loud but you can still talk to the person next to you and across from you. Love the cool down mode as well. Fantastic product.

I don't even trust a wall mounted hood to catch all of the smoke and be cleaned completely. And a wall mounted hood is loud! So this little machine is quiet. I had to make sure it is running. It's the buyer's job to make sure the smoking surface does not greatly exceed the hood's diameter, a limitation for any kind of hood. So, make sure your smoking surface is not more than 7". That's the true limitation for this machine. Otherwise, if you diligently follow the cleaning instruction and clean the filters every time you use it, it's a machine that works great: (1) You see that the filters are greasy (2) There is oil deposit in the cup (I didn't expect as much oil deposit as it managed to gather). For a 7" pan or pot, I think it works better than a wall mounted hood probably because you can place it very close to the smoking surface.

We replaced a downdraft gas cooktop with an induction cooktop in our island. Not finding a good induction unit that fit and included downdraft (at least not without spending a ridiculous amount of money) we opted to go without venting. This is only an issue on the occasions we make something particularly smokey or smelly. Tired of venting the whole house we decided to try this and it works sufficiently well to prevent the smoke alarm from false alarming. The suction is good but you have to put it right up on the pan to get the best use of it. It would be ideal if it designed to articulate in such a way that it could be placed directly over the pan. Worth the price we paid and it does work.

The unit is quite loud, even on the lower fan setting. Unfortunately, the filter does not seem to work effectively. There is noticeable oil buildup on the back of the fan, indicating that grease is not being properly trapped. Additionally, the oil collection cup is poorly designed; it's difficult to remove and even harder to clean. While the concept is good for small indoor setups, the overall functionality and maintenance issues make it hard to recommend.

it’s a great tool for renters.

Larger than expected. A bit louder than anticipated. It doesn't really clean/clear the air of cooking odors, works well eliminating steam/smoke. It is portable.

If you don’t have a vent or fan at the top of your stove, you need to get this item now!This item helps with smell and smoke mitigation. It’s compact where it doesn’t take too much space on the counter and it is easy to clean. 10/10 recommend for small areas and spaces.

Not fantastic. I dont think this works very well and it really isn't powerful enough. Im theory it should work but once u bring down from cabinet it just not worth the setup.
