Large Appliances $515 - $1288

It meets the requirement of us wanting to remove the microwave from over the cooktop and move it to an accessible, but non-obtrusive place in the kitchen. This microwave meets all the requirements and to top it off, the drawer opens with a touch of the button and the liquids in cups don't spill...

I've had this unit for 3 years. I purchased it due to its style, and reasonable reviews and affordable price. Let me tell the pro's and con's below. Bottom line: relatively happy with the purchase, and would buy again. Pro: Looks great Relatively easy to clean, but like all SS stuff, requires special cleansers to keep streak free Quiet Like the 'auto on" feature based on temp... will go on automatically if it senses a temp too high. Cons: Controls layout. First button is the 'setup button', but everyone in my home hits if first to turn on the light. Always have a blinking setup display or screwed up time setting. Come on, who tested this ting? Setting fan on/off use the + and - buttons... no instant off if you're at setting 4. Install was straightforward but a bit tricky, as I had to drill through the back of the unit to put lower screws into studs. Not a biggie. Given that this is Chinese made, I'm concerned about longevity, but so far, so good. After 3 years, still looks and works like new. Like the "Euro" design cues -- curved corners and simple clean lines. Easy to clean. Came with a remote that I used once after installation, and now it's lost in some drawer somewhere. Pretty useless 'feature'... why does every device from Asia need a remote? Funny thing is that my son got some remote powered LED lights, and that remote also turned on the fan of this unit... no way to disable the unwanted interactions. So... if they fixed the control layout and functionality of this unit, easily a 5 star design.

I looked at numerous dealers and searched on line for weeks to find an affordable, attractive replacement for a kitchen vent in a house built in 1978. This one looks and works great. I am very happy with it! Mary D

The hood came well packaged and in two large boxes. I did lots of internet searching looking for the right range hood, but kept coming back to this one due to the 900 CFM Centrifugal blower and the curved glass. Electronic buttons did not make difference in my selection. I would actually prefer regular buttons for the simplicity and operational reliability. The Installation Manual is omitting a lot of information about the installation, it is basically useless. It does not even specify power plug location other than a 35W breaker size with a USA/Canada code that is not sufficient to a person who did not install an Euro style range hood before. I ended up installing the plug between the 6" duct tube and stainless steel chimney enclosure mounted per a code to the drywall. It supposed to be accessible. Removing screws that hold the SS chimney and the SS chimney be itself could/should be considered as accessible. The power wire is not visible this way and makes the Range Hood look professionally installed, which we did by ourselves. Our kitchen has soffits. This made the installation little more challenging. We had to cut one of the lower SS chimney wall shorter to make it fit under the soffit and to meet the minimum 28" distance of the hood from the stove. The upper SS chimney is not installed at all. Venting the range hood into an attic is not recommended. This was another challenge for us as the original hood was venting into an attic (house was built in 1950's). The unit by itself is heavy and needs to be attached to 2x4's with 4" screws to avoid vibration noise, not only to drywall with the included sheet rock fasteners. They are to be put into wall to hold the hood while mounting it. This is a challenge if you don't hit the studs with one of the existing holes on the main mounting plate/back plate, which is attached permanently to the hood already. I had to take some parts off the hood apart to be able to drill holes for a proper attachment to 2x4's. I used special drill bits to drill the holes. Even doing that bulged out the back panel of the hood slightly. I hope this won't become a problem in the future. The SS chimneys attach to wall via Chimney mounting bracket. The bracket is not one piece as in the Manual, but 2 pieces instead. I would prefer one piece that could be attached to a 2x4 with one screw that did not happen. Again, I hope this will not become a problem in the future. The SS chimney walls aren't that heavy, I just wonder if it won't get loose in the future. My other half and me both like a good craftsmanship and try to install everything properly for the products to be enjoyed without problems that could pop up later due to improper installation. While I called the 800 phone number about the different Chimney mounting brackets and let me tell you, the young man representing the company was very rude right from the beginning. He said: "Do you see another part in the box that is not in the Manual?" And he went on with more up nosed comments and answers. So I asked him to drop the disrespectful insulting attitude. I also told him that the Manuals being sent with the hoods need to be updated to show the correct hardware included in the package. Not everybody has money to get a Wall Mounted Hood installed by a professional. The lights used in this unit seem to be warm white version of MR16 35W halogen bulbs. It is not a light we are used to, it is not strong enough to really see into the pots while cooking. I need to see what I am cooking, not just to have an accent light on the back wall. My other half is using it for an early morning light to make a coffee in dimmed light conditions, it is just fine for that. I will be looking into it if I can replace them with cool warm lights or anything else to make the lights brighter. While using this vent hood we found a glitch with the lights. They are flickering in 3 different strengths. This is very annoying and is caused most likely to the buttons not being sealed properly. I read about this problems on the cheap models and thought that this double priced model would not have this problem. I was very wrong. I hope I can find an answer to this problem on the internet so I can fix it. The light button is so sensitive to a touch, you don't have to even press it. I hope it will not brake in the future while it is too sensitive to my taste. The other buttons are fine and you have to press them just a tiny bit to activate a function. We are overall happy with its gorgeous look and the smooth fan function. We hope the hood will be pleasing us day after day in our newly remodeled kitchen. PROS: Seems to be quality craftsmanship Range Hood Hood is running very smoothly in all 6 speeds. Gorgeously looking hood. Good price for 900 CFM CONS: The lights are very weak and too yellow, they are only accent lights. Lights flicker in 3 different strengths while boiling water/fluids or heavier steaming. Fan speed #6 won't stop it. Poor Installation Manual PS: As I was looking on the internet for a better installation manual I found out that this Cavaliere model is also being sold under name SPAGNA VETRO 30-inch Wall-Mounted Stainless Steel Glass Range Hood - SV218D-30. If you need better lights and positioned in the front of the hood instead against the wall, get an Electrolux RH30WC60GS model with 600 CFM. The Installation, the Parts, and the dimensions PDF for the Electrolux model is also much more in detail than Cavaliere. But the price is not as good though.

Love the way this hood looks in my kitchen. Gives the kitchen a very modern feel. I get compliments all the time! Touch screen buttons sometimes take a few tries, but if you're not using it on a daily basis I wouldn't let that sway you.

We are converting our garage into a guest house with a small kitchen and needed smaller appliances, this was a perfect option and looks great!

This hood is quiet and powerful. The light buttons are hidden, which leaves the front of the hood clean and sleek. My clients love it.

This range hood has three option for venting: top 6 inch round, top rectangular, back rectangular. This is ideal for back venting function.

Well, I have to say that after reading all the reviews of this range hood I was a little worried about the installation. My worries were later confirmed. I received the order quickly, about less than a week. I began the installation at 5:30AM when my attic was nice and cool. I did all of the duct work first in the roof and attic so it would be ready for the range hood. You will need to buy a vent tube and and other pieces if you don't already have them. I would say the hardest and most stressful part was trying to measure where the center of the hole in the ceiling would go. I had to use a plum level with string. Then you have to determine if the wood studs in your ceiling will match up, or if you need to add 2x4 support. Of course mine did not match up, so I had to measure the distance between the studs and cut 2x4's to install (the instructions do not explain this at all). Then my wife and 10 year old son (after much thought) came up with the idea that we should make a template out of cardboard from the top of the "upper support frame". This will help you determine where the size and where to drill the holes in the ceiling when up in the attic. This was very helpful! I had to do some creative carpentry to make the 2x4's fit as my attic had a lot of things in the way. The instructions are very confusing as they don't really make clear what order to do things. You need to determine the height of your range hood first. However the instructions don't tell you to add 3" to allow for the range hood itself. I called technical support about this and they told me, "our installers have I variety of different skill sets, so they would be able to figure that out". Obviously, I am not one of their installers . .go figure?? Anyway ,the guy from technical support seemed clueless as to what to do, and was very unhelpful. You are better off trying to figure it out yourself! Lastly, a few good tips for the install, make sure you install the lower support frame to the support frame extensions using the LAST TWO HOLES or the motor housing will not fit when you raise it up to install. Also, use BLUE PAINTERS TAPE to hold the lower chimney cover to the upper chimney cover when installing the motor housing. This will make it much easier. Consider taping the electrical cord to the flexible duct tube when you install the motor housing that way you can avoid losing a person to go up in the attic. Also, we used a little step latter with a piece of styrofoam from the box it shipped in to hold the motor housing up so our ARMS WOULD NOT GIVE OUT from holding the heavy motor housing!! I am glad to write this review in hopes of helping anyone else who will be installing this range hood. I wish I would have known all this before I started :-) Overall, it looks beautiful!! It was a great deal using our coupon code from Great Offer Stock, and waiting for it to go on sale! It completes your kitchen. The cobalt blue lights are very bright, and make the fixture really stand out! Good luck to all my future Cavaliere Range Hood brother and sisters!!

This range hood looks great and works great! At it's highest suction level, it's quieter than the cheapo "hood" that came with the house, but at its lowest level of suction, it pulls 10 times better than our old solution. Now we don't have to unplug the smoke detectors when we cook! Not only that, but the looks of the unit pulls our kitchen out of the '60s and into the 2000s at a price that's half of what others charge for their cheapest stainless steel hoods. I installed it all by myself too. What I did was protect the stove, then put the box the hood comes in on the stove and the hood on top of that. Then, I propped up the box on a couple of tool boxes and then plugged the hood in and vented it. After that, I raised the hood up to mount by placing telephone books between the hood and the box until I was there - screwed the hood to the support structure (the upper chimney) that I had previously attached to the ceiling joists with 2x4s. The drawbacks of this hood are that while the literature says this unit is good for up to a 9' ceiling, it doesn't mention that it required at least an 8' ceiling to use as designed. I had to only use the upper chimney portion of the support structure and had to have both of the stainless steel sleeves included cut for an extra $175 at a sheet metal shop I found. Also, while this hood looks super and performs wonderfully, it has some plastic parts in the filter section, that I hope hold up to the heat and time, and if they don't I hope I can buy extra parts. Also, the electronics I hope hold up. I probably would have preferred simple analog on/off/hi/low/etc. controls for lasting performance. And my biggest criticism of how it's made is that they have all the insulated electrical wiring exposed in the underside of the hood so that they will no doubt become greasy over time; it would have been superior to have such wiring and lighting behind metal panels, but probably this is part of the cost savings here. Overall, this hood rocks! It looks great! It works great! And if those plastic parts hold up, it will be a valuable addition to our home - adding far more in value than it's cost.

The stainless is beautifully sleek and this vent is very powerful, which is why we purchased this one.

We ordered the Cavaliere Island mount range hood and it was delivered to us within a week. Read the instructions carefully and assemble the parts on the floor before mounting to the ceiling. This will save you a lot of time in the long run. It took us about 4 hours (2 people) and two tries to get it right. The assembly directions are of no help...so you need to figure out the assembly procedure before you begin mounting the unit. The unit is very nice and well worth the time and effort we spent installing it. The unit looks great in our kitchen...Comparable units in our City were running $3000-$4000 dollars.+ installation/delivery. Great buy, great customer service!!!

I wanted a professional looking hood but needed a recirculating option as I didn't have a way to vent the hood outside. Broan offered that option. The hood is awesome! It's effective at removing smoke and odor, isn't terribly loud and looks great. Very pleased with my purchase. My contractor installed the hood so I'm uncertain as to the ease of installation.

Beautiful range hood! Excellent craftsmanship & worth the price. The 2 light feature is perfect for task or ambient evening kitchen lighting. The fan is relatively quiet (compared to my old 80's model) and the fan is amazing at eliminating cooking odors.

All good so far lights could be brighter not noisey good slimline design for a small room. If your cealings are below 8ft (our kitchen 7ft 8" ) you will need to retro fit to get 29" between cooker and btm of fan . Instructions for clock could be better explaned. Goog for price. John. ...

I finally found a range hood that is going to look amazing in my kitchen.

I have used several microwaves in the past and this has to be the best so far. Lots of room inside for cooking / heating large sized products.The sensor type cooking works better than I could have expected. My only complaints are a loud vent fan at medium to high speeds. and no "Night Light" mode like my last 2 had, it's either on or off. LG really needs to rethink this feature. But over all, a really good product.

Pros: 1) light weight 2) combined with Broan external blower, it can suck a lot of air out 3) it is quiet than internal blower. Cons: 1). the out vent is 10' and in the middle. If you have a stud or pipe, it will be hard to twist the elbow. 2). it is kind of expensive. you need purchase the external blower separately. 3). it doesn't come with the light bulb and is hard to mount/exchange. You'd better purchase LED bulb with long life.
