looking for beautiful hoods...+layout pics

15 years ago

I got my first drawings from my cabinet guy. This part is SO FUN!!! Im not changing much, just cab layout (we r just replacing kitchen from a slab leak)

These are first draft and V. rough.. some colors are still off (BS and island r wrong)

I showed him some inspiration pics and he ran with it -- so he threw in that gorgeous hood and now im not sure i can be happy with anything else. I was NOT planning this kinda of extravagance!!!

the round hood totally goes with the new round window!!!!

question then... Can i get a hood in this shape for $1000 bucks???

Im willing to be creative.. searching craigslist, etc... but whatelse?

and if you see any things on this layout that scream wrong or annoying, please comment. I already think i need at least 2 cupboards turned into drawers, but is that enough?

and if you see your kitchen in these..thank you!!! :D

    The simple answer is that you can not get a range hood like that for 1,000 dollars.

    For a six burner ( or 4 plus grill) pro-style range like the one in your drawing, you will need a powerful hood that moves at the very least 600 cfm (and probably more with a grill) and is a full 24" deep. Many people on GW suggest a 42" hood for a 36" range. You should expect to pay at least 2,000 dollars, and probably more. Modern-aire, Rangecraft, Vent-a-hood, and even Aga, make hoods in that barrel vault style.

    Beautiful kitchen plans! I look forward to seeing how it evolves.

    oh boo - that is what i thought...

    any other ideas out there?
    my contractor did say she has a great sheet metal guy.... this is beyond that though? right? i'll ask her of course, just giving her the weekend off

    Maybe you can have your cabinet maker make you a rounded hood out of wood and then just put a square vent-a-hood liner inside of it. Of course, depending on who your cabinets are coming from, that might cost you a lot too (we're having a similar one made from our custom cab guy for around $450.00- but his prices are considerably lower than most)
    A take off on this idea maybe:

    I love that barrel shape too! But you're not going to get one for $1000. Independent makes one, which is less than a Modernaire, RC, etc. Absolutely see if you can have one made. Just remember, you'll have to add the blower/fan bits to the stainless pretty part. That's extra $ too!

    Here's the Indendent. They seem to have a good reputation. You need to buy a blower with this.

    Here's the Vent-a-Hood. This one has a small duct (6") so it would be noiser than the model like this with the larger duct. The larger ducted one would be more money though. This one also has a very low 300 cfms. Looks like you'll need more than that.

    I'm not sure how I feel about the VAH as a brand though. The reviews on the Appliance Forum are mixed as far as noise level (important to me) and ease of cleaning (not quite as important, but still important). I had ruled them out because of this.

    Keep an eye out on Ebay and CL for something. If you live in a metro area, you'll have a better chance of finding something on CL than I do. A wooden one is cool (Beagles's is a steal), but remember that you need to buy the inside parts there too.

    The shape is so beautiful. I just wish they weren't so expensive!

    Have you decided what range you are going to get? If you are still open, Bertazonni is running a hood special right now. If you buy a range they throw in a free hood - yes! it's true. I placed my order yesterday. I bought a 30" master (gas) with a 36" 1000 cfm insert for a wooden mantle hood. The cost was $949, but it was free. They have quite a few hoods to choose from.

    Just a thought. Good Luck.

    thanks guys... and for the links breezy.
    im going to look for a slight curve at the very least. I hadn't seen Kobe before and they look nice!

    I already bought my range, so i cant do any deals... would have been nice to choose a brand doing freebies.

    my contractor said her metal guy could do it - but at about $2000 w/o blower etc... so oh well.

    Great kitchen design.

    I feel for you, I really do. $$$$$$ I was all set to
    just order my modernaire until WHOAAAaaaa Nelllllieeee
    the price was $5000.
    So I searched but even Abbaca is in the $3000 for a
    similar style. I keep my eyes open on Ebay, CL and other
    places but I am just going to have to shell out the dough
    for the dream hood.

    Here are my passions...

    I emailed Vent a Hood for a quote on their 42" barrel hood that looks like your rendering. I added detail to give it the strips, etc. It was $4,200. So, no - not close to $1,000. Let me know what you end up with. I'd like to think there has to be some kind of alternative out there to give a great look with curves!

    I have no idea where you are located, but Green Demolitions has several hoods on their online page listed for their Honesdale PA location:
    http://www.greendemolitions.com/applianceshdale.html

    There is a curved one w/ an interchangeable panel that looks REALLY cool for $799.00.

    If you aren't nearby, maybe you could get them to ship it to you?

    celineike or anyone else interested, some of the Kobe hoods are designed to be stand alone or a liner. (switches are on the lower lip vs the front) I ended up getting one of these because our budget was so far beyond. My thought was someday I could have a sheet metal person design what I really wanted over it and in the meantime I have a good functioning and quiet hood.

    Yes, you can get Green Demolitions to ship smaller items to you. My husband bought a hood from them last week. They bring it down to the local UPS store and UPS will pack it and ship it off to you.

    I just ordered the 30" Ventahood XRH9 which is the 9 inch under cabinet version of your pictured vent hood for $1000 from a locally owned appliance store that is known to be fairly expensive. I was able to change the black strips that are standard to copper for an extra $65. It looks from your drawing as if you were planning on a taller hood, but if you want to stay within your price range I don't think the 36 inch would be a huge amt more in the 9 inch hood, and it still has an 8" duct and pulls 600 cfm and has halogen lights. You can get the strips in a variety of finishes. I had a vent a hood in my previous kitchen and it was great.

    Before you give up, I would contact Modernaire (or Eurostoves) for an actual quote. I didn't go with the rounded one, (I can't recall why as I love them?!) but here is my Modernaire and it's a 1000cfm with pot rail and it was a little over $1600, not including freight. I recall the 600cfm being under 1K.

    Thank you all for some great advice and ideas.
    I've let go of my beautiful barrel hood dreams and am now embracing the chunky square look. It's what I can afford.
    And I since I'm totally impetuous and impatient. I just bought a 36" Proline ProV. I wasn't even worried about CFMs but it's got 1600! so I'm covered there.

    I hope it's good. :D

    Look at you go! I admire your quick decision-making. Congrats on letting one vision go and embracing a new one!

  • 15 years ago

    aw, thanks Breezy. It's hard to just let it go.

    But the upside is i can order the cabinets today!
    yeay! real progress...besides just the new collection of appliances in my living room ;o)

    now back to my backsplash!

    Congrats! A square hood will look fine with your cabinets.

    I have the same problem, but my range is between 2 windows and I need a red barrel hood. I'm thinking of doing the same thing as eandhl - getting a regular hood with the controls on the bottom and building my own barrel out of wood around it. Less complicated than an insert and liner, and those things are not cheap either.

    eandhl, which hood did you buy?
