Cosmo 5U30 Range Hood

We replaced our electric range with gas and needed to update our old white range hood. This slim profile hood is a definite upgrade. I love that it has 3 speeds, all of which we have used. I accidentally let some bacon go too long in the oven, it was smoking, we turned the fan on high, and it cleared out the smoke immediately. We are using it ductless in a small kitchen in a 1927 craftsman bungalow and it is perfect. It came with the carbon filter which does reduce odors quite a bit. The noise level is within normal range (actually quieter than I was anticipating.) I have two critiques of this unit. First, the LED lights: they're very bluish white which takes some getting used to after having a warmer incandescent bulb for years. Also, they don't seem to cast their bright light over as wide of an area—they're more focused on the surface directly below. So if you're used to leaving just your range hood light on in the kitchen at night, it won't diffuse as far. Second: the mesh filters must be cleaned by hand. I've noticed other models by Cosmo have filters that are dishwasher safe. I assume those that do have dishwasher safe filters are for higher CFM fans, so it's by design. Wondering if the filters could be upgraded. Overall, I'm very pleased that we chose this model. It came packaged well, was pretty easy to install (a 2-person job), looks modern and does what it should. Great value for the price, too. I'd recommend this one for sure.

This item is a rare find as perfect for those seeking a 36" wide and less than 20" deep range hood. It also happens to be sleek and slim for our newly upgraded kitchen, and very reasonably priced. The features are very good, too. Though some reviewers say the installation can be difficult, I went with a contractor who had zero issues. Perhaps this product might be better installed in knowledgeable and experienced hands.

Looks really nice, but it wasn't the easiest to get installed! The guy who helped needed a while to figure out how to convert the wiring from the included plug and cord to a back-wired installation; that worked OK, but when we went to do the ductless conversion, despite ordering a genuine Cosmo CFK4 Filter, it would simply NOT attach the way it was supposed to. Finally in desperation we used some duct tape and simply taped it in place and replaced the screens. Hey, it's working, and for the price, I'm happy. Looks good, works well, quite quiet. The lights are a bit dim, and I don't like the way they are placed at the back; it would have been much better to have them in the middle. But I can live with it.

Love it! It is beautiful and was easy to install. Not to heavy. I like the charcoal filter in the hood.

Our old range hood had to be replaced and we knew we would want one this time that had lights- the previous one only had a fan- and when we came across this Cosmo Range Hood in our search, my wife and I both agreed that this was the one that was going to cover all our needs. The lights are great, giving off a lot more light than than their small size would suggest. I wish Cosmo had also included some lights along the front, but it's not 100% necessary. The material is light enough that I was able to install it without any human assistance- I did use a sturdy cardboard box to help hold it up on one end while I drilled in the screws on the opposite end- and it fits great under our cabinet without sticking out too far to interfere with cooking. The power of the fans was great to pull the heat out the vent while I was roasting some vegetables and the sound levels weren't nearly as loud as I thought they would be. I am looking forward to cooking more now that I will be more comfortable and be able to better see what I'm doing.

I recently purchased a range hood, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. One of the standout features of this transaction was how quickly the item was shipped. It arrived days earlier than expected, which was a pleasant surprise and allowed me to move forward with my kitchen renovation without any delays. Upon unboxing, I found that the range hood was exactly as described, with all the specifications matching what I had seen online. Installation turned out to be a breeze, thanks to the clear instructions provided. I was able to set it up in no time, allowing me to enjoy its sleek design and functionality almost immediately. The performance is impressive as well, effectively filtering out smoke and odors while adding a modern touch to my kitchen. Overall, this purchase exceeded my expectations, from the speedy shipping to the ease of installation—definitely a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen!

This range hood installed very easily. We are using it as a ductless unit so it needed the caps which were easy to install. Looks great. Having issues with installing the charcoal filter, it does not say which filter is proper, but when you fill out the form for a free filter, it asks which filter do want? I have no idea. You tell me the right one. You have the model number. So frustrating. This recommended filter comes up short for ease of installation.

Easy assembly. Powerful. I like how bright the lights are!

if you have older 12" deep cabinets, mounting could be tricky because you need nearly 1" for the power cord. it is feasible to adjust the plastic piece holding the power cord straight but that's a 'better know what you're doing' type issue. power is 44" long maybe in the factory, after internal routing you get about 35" (in my case) half an hour or so peeling off blue stuff and under 10 minutes to mount it. As someone looking for as simple an install as possible i scored 100% with this unit. Install was easy, i measured and drilled the holes for the front first, sat the unit on the screws (its lite enough) and quickly mounted the rear pair of screws. The front and rear have the wide holes that narrow so you can slide the hood on and off, i didnt want that and the rear has permanent holes so i used those. i was worried about vibrations and 'keeds' :) It looks nice and clean and i never thought about it but i appreciate the lack of some big stupid logo on the unit. its just the buttons and looks clean. the metal is thin but decent, doesnt bend or ding easily. The leds are nice, good amount of light, i got the 6500k to match my kitchen. The blue stuff wow, I ended up being impressed by how scratch resistant it is. its too bad they couldnt wrap my car in it. fan is good, its what i expected, its not silent but even on low the steam etc from the stove immediately flows up and out. there's a low whine, its low though so fades into the background easily. its there but low and i dont have to adjust my volumes when its on low or medium. I didnt test high, low-med gets me what i need. super happy, totally recommend.

Bonita, silenciosa y fácil de usar.

En mi caso tengo una salida de aire, para mi parecer le falta mas potencia para sacar el aire.

Bought this because I moved to a new place, where the kitchen is quite small without air duct. So I wanted a slim stainless steel hood to replace the aged white modal (with a Under Cabinet Range Hood with Ducted/Ductless Convertible in case I renovate my kitchen later to make a duct). I like the bright built-in LED and three outside push buttons (the push button under the hood gets oil and hard to clean), There is three-pronged plug but I don't have power outlet, so I hardwired it. As others have stated, the blue plastic film wrapped around the entire product was quite hard to remove, but I managed to remove it except a little near to the LED light, since it is stuck inside so I didn't get it all out of the cracks. The provided 4 screws to affix the unit to the underside of the cabinet are too long, I used the old screws. The filter and parts are all included, the two reusable aluminum mesh filters are easy to wash, it looks good and modern, The suction power is fair and is enough for my small kitchen, it is not a luxury style with reasonable price, so choose based on your need, I would say for the price it is a OK unit.

Exelente producto
