Customer Reviews for Broan-NuTone QT20000 Quiet Hood 30 in. Convertible Range Hood in Almond

Easy to install, works great.

Item fit the area nicely and a bit to install, but it works for our application.

It came in the mail dented in the middle. Very loud when on a high setting. Very disappointing!

Arrived a bit ahead of schedule. Not as noisy as the Broan I replaced but still somewhat louder than I would like (but a motor can't be expected to be quiet). Used as a ductless hood. Very easy to replace the one I had. Quite pleased with the looks and functionality.

nice looking, quiet fan even on high. like the adjustable fan and 2 settings of lights.

Had a little trouble with installation, due to the holes not lining up properly from underneath. But all in all, I really like it, and it is quiet when the fan is on. I use the light a lot and that's a nice feature.

This hood replaced a Broan hood that was 30 years old. Installation was easy---no surprises. Broan is a good value.

Installed and the fan rattles. Like the unit except for that. Will be exchanging and hope the next one does not rattle

Easy to install and works as expected

looks good, very quiet, great price

The hood was easy to install and seems to be working well.

I was very disappointed. When the fan was turned on, it had a loud vibrating and roaring noise. It looked like the fan was warped. Thankfully, the return process was quick and easy.

I bought this to replace my 28 year old hood. Not having it ducted to the outside, installation was easy, it was an exact fit and took less than an hour. I would recommend having a helper with you to hold it in place while securing it, though. Delivery was fast, arrived a day ahead of time. Meets my expectations.

Pleasantly surprised how sleek and quiet this fan was. Very good price, definitely affordable.

The hood came undamaged and fit right into the space vacated by the old hood. It's nice to have one that matches our appliances. Installation was a breeze. The only drawback is that you need to buy a special size light bulb.

the fan is very easy to install, but the swiches on the fan and light is very cheap for the price.

Arrived early. Great instruction manual. Installation was easy enough as well. Powerful than the previous rangehood I had. In my case, I had to use additional ducts to fit into the existing vents and some HVA tapes and it did the job for me. Overall, we are happy with the purchase.

Easy to order, easy to install, with easily understood directions. Price not bad either. Excellent store n product.

I give this product a 5 Star, from the ease of ordering, on time delivery, to the clean light weight and per my contractor, easy install, looks great ! The Fan works great various speeds, appears to have a cooling affect ? great dual hood lights. If you are not ready to do a complete Kitchen remodel, but need to replace your existing old school Kitchen Stove Hood, look no more, purchase this Hood, for the price point, you can't go wrong.

universal fit with only minor mods. very quiet for a hood in this price range. overall quality good with beautiful finish. easily installed.

Easy to install, good circulation. A little noisy on high, but you don't need to run on high that often or you are over cooking.....

Was super easy to install. I installed on my own but an extra set of hands would have been ideal. The exhaust fan is quiet just as advertised but the filter seems a bit flimsy and actually sucked up into the fan on it's highest power causing it to make contact and slap against the blades. I will look for sturdier replacement filters. The two different light settings are nice since I like to keep them dim at night. It's not the greatest range hood with a ton of bells and whistles but it's a great value and provides exactly what I need.

Real easy to set up, install and use. I replaced my old white electric range that had a white overhead vent so I elected to also replace my vent hood to match my new stainless range. I also elected to utilize the non vent feature because of our cooking style and the fact that there would have been some modification to adapt considering we live in a manufactured home. As probably with most any convertible hood the exhaust of non venting goes directly out the front in a forward fashion which is not really a smart approach when facing a short height because venting goes towards your face? The only other negative as others have mentioned is fan switch starts high to low instead of commonly expected low to high.

Had to replace 20-year old unit. The new unit was a perfect fit existing unit

This is a very nice range hood for the price! The only thing that I wish was different was the knob for turning on the fan. It starts out on high and turns down to low. It would be better if it were the opposite because when you go to turn the fan off it blasts on high right before the off position. But, I can live with it. It's still a great hood! Looks very nice!

The range hood has only been installed for 4 days. It looks great. It is not noisy; has continuously variable speed exhaust fan. I needed to supply 2 light bulbs, so I chose LED. Plenty of light; also 2 light settings.

The hood was very easy to install. It was quiet and the lighting was either bright or not so bright.

very easy to install no problems. Good lighting and fan is quiet.

I bought this to replace the "same" 30 inch model and it definitely suffers from "Let's make this with poorer quality materials, and hey, if it doesn't have the exact dimensions, who really cares!" I kept and installed it but only after making new holes in the overhead cabinetry. The metal frame and sheet metal are noticeably lighter gauge. The biggest irritation came when I couldn't tighten the blankety blank ground screw without stripping the philips head. To help quiet it down (after dismounting it), I added metallic duct tape to the top venting exhaust flapper. Again, the lighter gauge metal seemed barely any heavier than tin foil. Cheap hardware supplied all around.

The "Quiet" feature was our primary purpose in replacing the old hood. The variable-speed/on-off switch is very helpful for various cooking demands and vibration-free motor and fan do just what we wanted. Installation by ourselves, with considerable do-it-myself experience was still fairly difficult. It did not fit previous cutouts exactly so screw holes were hard to pilot-drill so close to the old ones, yet close enough to hold in the slotted holes of the new hood, which was necessary because of the thin gauge of the hood top sheet metal. Installation instructions called for insertion of a sheet-plastic alternate vent block but were not specific enough or it did not fit as expected so vented fumes partially blow back into the kitchen.
