Broan-NuTone BCSD136SS Glacier Range Hood with Light, Exhaust Fan for Under Cabinet, Stainless Steel, 36-inch

Great investment with a good price-value. The over-range vent fan/lighting I had before was very outdated (and loud) so I opted to replace it with something a little more modern to address the look, and quiet for my sanity. This over the range hood was well within budget and offered the updated look I was going for. It was very easy to install and the dimensions advertised with accurate.While I did not use the bracket system that came with the product, and had somewhat clear directionz, I did utilize the four holes that were pre-fabricated. They are holding the vent up well and due to its light-weight build, I am not worried about it falling or posing as a hazard if I bump into it (for whatever reason) or if there is an earthquake.Construction: As I mentioned, the internal components seem to be of lightweight construction, probably aluminum as it is very light. Be careful when you move it around during installation and cautious not to bang into anything with it, like the corner of a cabinet, table or coutertop because I am sure the thing will dent easily. Perhaps not the most durable in this sense, however, it is not build to be man-handled or even touched much on that note, so with that being said, once it is up, it looks great!Wiring: I hard wired this myself using the conduit that was in place for the previous vent. I am pretty handy with stuff around the house, but very intermediate with the scary stuff such as gas & electrical... regardless, I gloved up, and got to it. Black to black, white to white, ground or bare wire to provided grounding screws. Be advised, while I did not go through the "whole-9" which I 100% advise you to do, including shutting the power to your house then TESTING that it is off using a digital multimeter, I am still alive, breathing, and writing this review with all ten fingers. I have done several electrical jobs around my old house (late 70's) such as socket replacement etc and felt comfortable with this task.The unit did not come with the two halogen bulbs which would have been nice, but they were an easy buy that I made at the local hardware store. I waited for the unit to arrive rather than ordering them off Amazon to ensure they fit property and were the correct specs. These too were easy to install.Overall this was a great buy. Good, clean look, affordable, and easy to install. Specs and dimensions were true, the fan is so quiet I couldn't even tell it was on, and the lights provide great countertop visibility. Would highly recommend for someone looking to update the look of their kitchen.

I upgraded to this hood from my old version of the same manufacturer. Its the exact same size so the fit was the part I knew I wouldn't have to worry about.This doesn't come with the bulbs. Ordered them at the same time as the hood and they arrived together.Pretty easy install and convertible to use any vent size, or vent less (with extra filters)Hood is super quiet compared to my older model and has way more suction power.

Really love this range hood. Replaced a (probably) 20 year old Broan hood that was super noisy. I was able to remove the old unit and install this unit on a Saturday afternoon and evening, figuring in breaks to run to the hardware store and spend time with the family. We've been using it for a little more than a month now and I'd say I'm very satisfied with it. It's not perfect, which is why I gave a 4 star rating, but if I could give it 4.5 stars I would.Things I like:- Really quiet. We used to have to yell to be heard when the old hood was turned on. Even on high, this hood doesn't impede us from talking and on low I can barely hear it.- Seems to move air as well, if not better than, our old one. Fine for typical cooking needs.- Simple, stylish look. I especially like having filters that cover the whole underside. I was pretty disgusted when I took the old unit down and found layers of grease and bugs that had collected around the small, single filter that was there before. I anticipate that it will be easier to keep this unit clean.- Price. After comparing units online and at home stores, this unit seemed to offer more features at a better price point. The only feature lacking was LED (see below).Things that could be improved:- It would be nice if this were LED compatible. I used the halogen bulbs they recommended to ensure use of the dimming feature, but the halogens get SUPER hot. Between heat from cooking and the bulbs, the top of the hood gets pretty freaking hot. Even with just the bulbs on, you wouldn't want to place your hand on top of the hood for very long. So far, as long as I don't put my hand on the hood (which one doesn't really have need to do anyway), it's been fine.- I didn't bother using the "easy install" strips because, when installed they hold the hood down an additional 1/16 of an inch. Maybe I'm anal, but I didn't want any more of a gap between the top of the hood and bottom of the cabinet than is already present because of the irregularities in the sheet metal. As a result, getting the ductwork fitting placed correctly and putting the hood up on my own was a pain, but I made it work in the end.- The unit arrived with a dent in the top-middle of the exposed, slanted face, which I presume happened during shipping. It wasn't so bad that I wanted to go through the hassle of repackaging and returning the unit I got, but I was annoyed that it arrived damaged. I don't really notice the dent now unless I'm looking for it. I guess that's the risk you take when buying things online.Overall, I'd recommend this hood. Hope this review was helpful.

Very happy with my fan, easy to install, good quality, quiet and efficient!

shipped quick , no damage, we found the fan quiet

Replaced my 20 year old range hood, this unit has better suction and the lighting is fantastic. It's still pretty loud on the highest setting.

Installed myself, was very easy and works amazing. Fan sucks everything up and outta my kitchen very nicely on highest speed.

La hotte est toujours dans sa boîte. J’attends le poseur qui est très occupé.
