Tools and Hardware Reviews of Broan F403611 Economy 36-Inch Four-way Convertible Under-Cabinet Mount Range Hood, White on White
Customer Review: What Horrible Service
Summary: 1 Stars
I have no idea how the hood functions because it arrived so damaged. Listen to all of the above comments on the condition of items received from this company, they are very TRUE!! I took a chance even though I read the reviews and probably got the hood that someone else described above. Banged and dented and scratched. Delivery box was so flimsy and hood was packed terribly. AND... you could tell that it had been sent somewhere else first. It had another packing slip in it from 2 months before I ordered ours. Don't purchase from these people. To be fair, I did return it without any problem but I had to return it and that was problem enough and I was stuck with a hood filter from a different vender that would not take it back w/o me paying shipping because there was no problem with the filter. But what do i need that filter for now? To ship the filter back was more than the filter cost.Customer Review: Check locally before buying this
Summary: 2 Stars
The Good: It is inexpensive, easy to install, works reasonably ok, packaging was decent- arrived without incident in a few days
The Bad: Loud, very very loud. You won't be able to handle the fan noise on high, even on quiet it is louder than the one it replaced (which oddly had a higher noise decibel rating for the fan). The front plastic vent cover is ugly and lets some air through, but it is not a deal breaker.
If you can wait a couple of weeks and need a low-end, inexpensive range hood, I would check your local Home Depot for the lower-end Maytags (they usually have to order them), they run about the same price as this but are of much better quality and lower noise. We needed one immediately and this did the job, barely.
Customer Review: Damaged
Summary: 1 Stars
The range hood was reasonabled priced, and the shipping was free. When I found it on our front porch, I knew it would be damaged ,only a tank could have survived being shipped in the retail box. I had to ship it back @ $5.00 more than what was credited to me ,Probably all the tape I used to hold the box together. Initially when I called I spoke with a woman her middle eastern accent was so strong, I had to keep asking her to repeat what she was saying.Her message was to keep it & theyll send me a new one. Later I recieved a e mail asking to ship it back for a replacement. IT has only been a week since I returned it.Customer Review: Easy to customize and install
Summary: 4 Stars
The range hood works well and does what it supposes to do. It's easy to customize and install. Its price is reasonable. The reason we give this 4 stars because the light holder/cover and the front covert are loose.
The light cover is the most junky looking part made in white plastic, and it's a little bit short for the compact fluorescent light bulb. We had to cut open one end of the light cover to fit with our bulb.
The front cover is needed when you don't want your cooking air come back to your kitchen (for the ducted hood). This part is very easy to fall out of its place.
Customer Review: Poor packaging
Summary: 1 Stars
This is my second one. The first I returned because of a prominent dent in the front. I sent it back and got a refund. I ordered another unit and it came with a smaller, less visible dent, and I decided to keep it. Both range hoods came in flimsy factory cartons with small pieces of fitted foam inserts. The foam was badly broken in both shipments and the boxes had external damage. I don't recommend this purchase.
