Over-priced and under-powered. Cost for what you get at COSTCO ... can definitely get one cheaper and more powerful.

Crown Range Hood Professional Series Model PRO-BF03

800CFM
6 Speed operation
LCD display
Touchscreen Display
Time Display
Power-off Delay function
2 LED lights with 2 levels of lighting
Stainless Steel baffle dishwasher safe filters
Wireless Remote Control
Noise Level: 1.5 to 4.5 sone
Warranty: 5 years for motor, 1 year for parts and labor

Installing this tomorrow ... can't wait to use this! A great upgrade for the price of $480 TAX IN! You can't get a better deal than this especially for a powerful range hood unit.

Crown has been around for many years ... our friend has a Crown Range Hood for over 10 years with zero issues. Cleaning is extremely easy. And best of all .. it's powerful and very very quiet even at the MAX power speed.


We looked at various brands of Range Hoods before settling with the Crown.

Being of Asian descent ... we do a look to cooking with the traditional WOK ... so we needed something that would be powerful enough so suck out the smoke when cooking.

Pacific Range Hoods are great ... loved the idea of the fans being located at the front section of the unit, however when it sucks in the air, the clearance inside the front is not as direct therefore the air going out may kick back. These are pricey because of their unique design of the jnterior fans.

SanYangPai Range Hoods had ample CFMs .. going as high as 900 for the under cabinet style. But the sales agent at the Warden and Steeles location was very blunt. Didn't like her statement: "Installation is easy. Even if you are very dumb, you can still install the unit in an hour."

Sakura Brand Range Hoods are reliable but noisy. Our friend has one and it's LOUD! Besides, the sales rep at the Brimley and Sheppard location was not great.

I can hold a conversation and the noise "disappears" in the background, but I know it's there. I guess it's my price to pay for an open-concept home.
