Range Hood Help

15 years ago

Looking at range hoods. I am looking at Broans on recommendation of a few friends and my contractor. Specifically, looking at

Broan RM533004

Broan EW5830

Broan RM523004

Right now, favoring the last which I'll provide a link to.

I have a gas stove with 4-burners. Its an old Kenmore and I am not changing it out during this renovation. If possible, I'd like to get a hood that can handle a 5-burner, mid-range, gas stove.

Looking on the inexpensive side. Under $1000. Can i do it?

Comments, opinions, or recommendation?

Found decent prices on Faucetdirect.com. Are there better?

For a chimney style hood under $1k I really like the Kobe.

Kobe is a Japanese company that designs their own products but manufactures in Taiwan.

Broan is a hodge podge of parts from various vendors mostly made in China and assembled in China.

The best price for a Kobe RA9230SQB 30" is normally $889 with free shipping but venting direct has a 10% off promotion for Kobe right now.

The Kobe max speed is 760cfm the Broan 370cfm.

At 370cfm the Broan is 7 sones loud. At 420cfm the Kobe is 2 sones loud.

The Kobe is 18 guage SS the Broan does not list in it's specification sheet.Not good.

Here is a link that might be useful: Kobe RA9230SQB

Thank you!

I will check out the Kobe.

Does anyone know of where I can check on requirements for range hoods? I need the primer of hoods.

Thanks,
Suzanne
