Review on πŸ”₯ IKTCH 30 Inch Under Cabinet Range Hood: Powerful 900-CFM Ventilation with Gesture Sensing Control Panel & Stainless Steel Design by Doug Cardello

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not my best buy

Looks great. However, as you can see in the video, the hood just doesn't remove the smoke effectively. Smoking only 1 pot in the video, smoke moderately. I haven't tested at max speed but I contend that 3rd max speed should be more than enough to clear smoke from a pot. The cooking pot was placed against the wall, which should help with the evacuation. Aside from poor smoke removal, which is the hood's main concern, the speed would change frequently as my head moved, so I ended up sealing the sensors with black tape and using only touch controls, which worked well. I wish you could adjust the fan speed up or down instead of constantly increasing it (i.e. to go from speed 2 to 1 you have to cycle the speed through 3, 4 and off and then switch to speed 1). I have exchanged emails with the company. We started with photos then moved on to videos and when I provided the attached file they asked if I could try speed 4 again. If they weren't surprised, the range hood couldn't remove smoke from 1 pan at the third maximum speed. it told me everything I needed to know. $300 off! A nice hood just doesn't work, or at least doesn't work well for me.
