Review on πŸ”₯ Broan-NuTone BUEZ030BL Economy UC 160 CFM 30N Black Range Hood - 30-Inch by Brian Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The hood is very good value, see size

The order came quickly and was neatly packaged. I ordered this product because it had a damper. I'm so stupid. I didn't even remove the old block. This one has a rectangular duct while my house has a round one. This cousin has a round vent, but I didn't use it because the damper had to be purchased separately. The separately purchased single lock had rather bad reviews. Now I couldn't install it anymore. Bring your master. He had metal snips etc and went to the store to buy all the connectors we need to make a rectangular tube to fit a round hole. All parts were still under the $14 I would have had to pay Revain to send this one back. It turned out that converting from round to rectangular wasn't a problem. This device is square in shape and the hole where I tried to insert this hood was not. It took 4 hands to hold the device while we hammered it and pushed it into place. My house was built in 1985, so I didn't expect to face such difficulties to get it in place. Once installed, it worked like magic. He wants a 60-watt lightbulb that is no longer available. There were no instructions as to whether a fluorescent lamp could be used instead. This requires research. Two days after installation we had wind speeds of over 35 km/h. The cracker made no sound. The old damper rattled terribly. In general, find out if you have a round or rectangular one before you buy it, and have an extra pair of hands ready when installing. Leaning over the stove with your arms raised overhead is hardly a one-man job.

Pros
  • Trial year for a year
Cons
