Review on 30-Inch Bisque Broan-NuTone 413002 Non-Ducted Range Hood Insert for Under-Cabinet (Ductless) by Ryan Barton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

More like 4.5 stars

More like 4.5 stars. Simple, beautiful, light and pretty easy to install. We really wanted a good duct system, but I just lost my mind and didn't want to spend $700 on a cheap duct system. This is a great lazy, economical choice. We use it without air ducts. Relatively calm. I almost wish the high settings were a little stronger, but they're good for pulling out most of the vapor and smoke. Make sure it's no more than 24 inches above the oven. No plug is supplied, so you'll either have to plug it in (installation can be tricky here, especially if you need to reroute cables) or get a pigtail plug, like I did. The pigtail is an extension cord with a three-prong plug on one end and three wires on the other end for connection to the hood wires (black, white, and ground). You can then just plug it into an outlet instead of a solid wire, which also means drilling a 1" hole in the shelf where you attach the hood to allow the wire to go through. It needs a perfectly flat shelf/surface above to screw it in. Four short screws hold it in place. It's just a cut (1/8") that's less than 30" wide. So if you have exactly 30" it will fit. The control panel extends 12" flush with a standard 12" deep cabinet.

Pros
  • VERSATILITY: Separate rocker switches control the lights and two-speed fan for easy operation. Lamp (recommended type) - A19
Cons
  • Price that breaks the piggy bank
