IKTCH IKP02-30 30 Inch Wall Mount Range Hood

4.5

1 sourceall derived$419as of Oct 15

The IKTCH IKP02-30 is a 30-inch stainless steel wall-mount chimney hood listed at 900 CFM with four speeds, touch controls and a gesture sensor. In a short video update after more than a year of ownership, Lauren's Daily Edit said the household is so happy with it and highly recommends it, singling out the lever-release filters that come clean in the dishwasher and the wave-to-operate panel. Her update does not cover noise or how well it clears smoke, so the evidence here is thinner than for the other hoods on this page.

Strengths

— Still recommended after more than a year of use, per Lauren's Daily Edit
— One lever releases both filters, and they come clean in the dishwasher, per Lauren's Daily Edit
— Waving a hand changes fan speed and turns on the lights, so no fingerprints from wet hands, per Lauren's Daily Edit

Watch-outs

— 45 pounds per the listing, a heavy lift onto a wall

Ranked #3 in Best Range Hoods

ZLINE BSKBN-36 36 Inch Wall Mount Range Hood

4.0

1 sourceall derived$629.99as of Oct 12

The ZLINE BSKBN-36 is a 36-inch wall-mount chimney hood in black stainless steel with a four-speed, 400 CFM motor and push-button controls. In a video review, Joe's Phenomenal mounted one over an induction cooktop and smoke-tested each speed: speed one let smoke slip out the sides, speed two became his everyday setting, and speed four cleared everything but was loud and made his studio vibrate. He judged it a happy medium between price and performance and found the light a little dim.

Strengths

— Speeds three and four cleared heavy pan smoke in Joe's Phenomenal's test
— Three stainless steel filters release with one lever and are dishwasher safe, per Joe's Phenomenal
— Five-minute timer keeps the fan running after cooking, then shuts it off, per Joe's Phenomenal

Watch-outs

— On the lowest speed quite a bit of smoke escaped off the sides, per Joe's Phenomenal
— Speed four is loud and vibrated the reviewer's studio, per Joe's Phenomenal
— Light has high and low only, and the high setting is on the dim side, per Joe's Phenomenal
