With the modern Broan 30-Inch QT Under Cabinet Range Hood you get it all – power, quiet, convenience, and style. Equipped with a patented air chamber designed to reduce noise, this hood cranks out 220 CFM at just 4.5 Sones. That’s enough power to zap unwanted kitchen pollutants quickly and effectively without the disruptive noise you might experience with other hoods. An easy-to-operate infinitely adjustable rotary speed control puts you in complete control of your kitchen’s filtration. This range hood is equipped with dual 40-watt lamps that offer two levels: you get the bonus of increased light for your cook-top. All of this comes packaged in a contemporary design. With a variety of color options to choose from, finding the right one for your kitchen is simple. This UL Listed and HVI Certified unit uses a large, aluminum mesh filter that captures more than typical units and are dishwasher-safe. Another advantage this hood offers is installation options. It installs as 3.25 x 10-Inch with vertical or horizontal discharge, 7-Inch round with vertical discharge, or non-ducted. No matter what installation option you choose, this unit delivers.
