Excellent Product!

Would Recommend

Needed for a complete kitchen redo. Decent vents are not that readily available. I bought one on line that was a waste of money. Came across this one, sold at Lowe's. My GC installed it. He was immediately impressed with the overall structure- galvanized steel. Damper is great. Closes tightly when rangehood is turned off. It is sealed as well. Other vents are plastic, prone to outdoor air coming back into the house during colder weather. Tremendous value. If you are not handy, get it installed b...

Exhaust Vent Hood

Would Recommend

This product seems to be an adequate vent hood. it was fairly easy to install and required no specialized tools. Time will tell whether or not the galvanized process protects it from rusting or not.

Range hood exhaust vent

This vent was long enough to make it through my exterior brick wall. It was also easy to use. I liked how the parts fit together for easy installation. If I need to buy another vent in my next house this is the one I'll buy.

Well Built

Would Recommend

All metal construction and a painted outer cover are definite pluses. So is the metal screen on the cover to keep birds out. Vent does have an exhaust flap as well, so it is closed when no air is flowing. I used it to connect a portable A/C unit and it worked fine.

If wind is an issue this might not be for you

Would Recommend

Vent looks nice and is well made. I live on a hill and have winds of 15 to 20mph often. The vent flaps open and closed so loud you can hear it all over the house.

best wall vent I could find

Would Recommend

This one is so much better than the other light gauge flimsy wall vents sold at the big box stores. The tube extends long enough through the wall to connect to your ductwork (others were way too short). The flap is inclined to allow gravity to keep it shut (no annoying spring that may break in the future). The flap has good weather stripping to seal out drafts, and looks to be properly installed (no gaps). The exterior finish looks nice (white) and is very rigid (won't dent from a tennis ball) L...
