Aside from disliking a forced review when I haven't really put the range hood (36" FRHWM5029) through its paces; the hood came very well packed, the installation went smoothly, and the hood looks fantastic on the wall. It is exactly what we wanted. It is heavy - plan on 3 people to hang it on the wall. Pros: It is quieter than I expected. The warming lights are great and should work well (especially for taco Tuesdays). Cons: The LED task light is not dimmable and it's bright. Bit baffled as to the fan controls...hit + and it comes on high, hit - and it comes on high. With this kind of CFM power, I think it would be better if the - started it on low. The stainless backsplash is too short (unless you have counters with that 4" integrated cove backsplash. With granite and a drop in gas cooktop, we had the choice of hanging the hood/warming shelf too low to be useful or having a ~4" gap. The option of a taller backsplash would have been nice.

Range Hood was easy to install. Make sure to check all the bolts before installation. Had to tighten up some loose bolts and loose panels that should have been tight at assembly. Manual specs are great for locating rough in before install. Forno needs options for hood chimney's

the range hood is is great, nice looking , well made and seems to work as expected.... I had assumed since it was wall mount that it would have a back exhaust option. It does not, so we bought a stainless chimney vent cover to go to our ceiling. The hanging bracket is a little over 1/4 to long so the shelf doesn't sit on stainless backsplash.. It leaves an over 1/4 gap under the shelf,so you can see the mounting bracket and it looked terrible. My husband took it all down and had to cut the mounting bracket down so the shelf would meet the back splash (the bracket sits on the top of the backsplash ledge. I would have given this amazing range hood a 5 star if it was not for the bracket being the wrong size.

Just got this installed by my contractor. I was surprised by the noise level. It was so much quieter than I thought it would be. It has a light, and four levels to use, and I got the extended chimney. I have a vaulted ceiling so I had to buy another extension for the chimney. Seamless finish.

It's louder than you think. But it needs to be to pull that much air. Make sure you plan for 2 - 6" ducts coming out of the house or you won't get the airflow listed. Also, you need a source of make-up air, or you will "suction" the house and get less output.

The item was shipped by the retailer very poorly. Box was open and parts had to be put back in the box by delivery team. Only damage was the control panel became dislodged. Fortunately, I am capable of fixing myself and did not need to send back. Not installed yet, but it does blow fine.

It looks nice. Control panel went out and had to be replaced after turning it on one time. Forno did replace the panel. Took some time and a lot of emails and phone calls to get it accomplished. But, works since then. It is loud. Doesn’t pull much from stove top even though it’s super loud

Amazing high end, commercial grade hood vent. I am extremely disappointed that they do not state it needs to be installed under a cabinet. There is no exhaust pipe cover, so all the duct work is exposed. We are now going to have to buy a separate product to close it all in, At minimum, forno should be selling, an accessory option.

30 Inch Range Hood Vent moves a good amount of air.

This Forno range hood is a high quality range hood and looks great in our new Sparta, North Carolina mountain house. We especially enjoy the bright lighting it provides as well as the heat lamp rack and heat lamps.
