36' x 27' Range Hood

15 years ago

Does any one know of any 36" x 27" Range Hood out there? I'm trying to stay in the $1400 max range, 900CFM ish. I will be getting a 6 burner CULINARIAN range top, and would like the 27" for better capture on the front burners. I don't have space for a 42". I'm not really a cook and would be surprised if i ever fire up 3 burners at once and if that only 1 would be on high.

Prorangehoods.com have a sticky rep, and i don't want to take a chance with them going out of business or poor long term quality. So I'd be looking for other brands. VAH has one, but I can't find a price online. Trevor looks like he has a nice one but its a little out of my budget.

Is this for an island or wall application?

It would be a wall mount.

Biggest issue I see with a hood that deep is that it'll block your view of what's happening on the back burners, and as a "bonus", it's going to be all the way out front so you're likely to bump your head on it. I have a 19" deep hood, and it gets about 95% of the smoke/steam from cooking. A lot of companies make 36" hoods, with different depths - Miele, Broan, Futuro Futuro, Ventahood, Faber, etc, etc. Mine is the Futuro Galaxy, and though it's not as deep as the counter, I'm very happy with it. IMHO, if you don't cook a lot, you don't really have to sweat the hood depth.

Good luck with your search!

You've probably already tried this, but what about ventingdirect dot com? Their search feature is pretty good and should pull up hoods in that size.

Wolf made 27" undercabinet hoods. There are likely still some around; I'm not even sure they discontinued them, maybe just tweaked the line resulting in many closeouts. About 6 months ago I found several from online vendors.

There are definitely some out there. I think Vent a hood had one. I looked into it because my cabinets are 4" deeper and i thought a greater coverage area (vs 24" depth) was better but the top of the hood is made for a 12" depth cabinet not 15 or 16" which my wall cabinet was being built so it didn't work. Make sure your wall cabinets are going to fit that size and you are going to be happy with its relative positioning.

We have 27"X42" VH over 36" AG with grill. Unless it's mounted way too low or you're in the NBA no rear burner view is blocked. We went with 27" due to warming lights, grill and a lot of front burner pan broiling and stirfry. The number of burners on wasn't an issue, we rarely have more than one on more than low. The real issue seems to be setting the "air curtain" as far out as possible over the range, and if you watch it from the side while there's smoke and steam coming up it's remarkable how fast the column expands by the time it hits the hood. Unfortunately don't know how 24" would perform, the VH tech rep (who was very helpful) recommended the increased depth due to grill and our other front burner cooking. I'm 5'10" and no trouble with head bumps.

I did not think about bumping my head on a 27" one! I might just got with a broan with remote fan.
