Customer Reviews for Bosch 500 Series 30 in. Undercabinet Range Hood with Lights in Stainless Steel

I’m happy with how it functions, which has a lot to do with how it is vented. For some reason the front panel is separating from the rest of the unit! Not great if was heat from the stove that this is venting that causes this to warp! Lol!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We completely renovated our kitchen in November/December and chose a BOSCH Undercabinet Hood. The first hood was delivered damaged (the fan mount was cracked); however, BOSCH quickly replaced the damaged hood with a complete replacement and we love it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We like the look and function of this Undercabinet Hood. The fan has several settings which product a lot of suction. The lighting setup works well. The only problem we have had is that one of the two light bulbs randomly dislodged and smashed onto the stove and into our food while cooking. Nobody was actively touching the bulb when this happened. When contacted, Bosch stated that a tech needed to come check out the situation but there are no techs in our area of NW Washington State. Bosch offered no solution and told us we just simply needed to buy another bulb. Clearly this does not solve the problem and a new bulb will likely fall out and break as well since the problem has not been addressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After a kitchen repair our kitchen set up created a two foot space above our stove top. We were concerned with smoke and the ability to have enough light to cook. This Bosch hood provided brilliant light and powerful exhaust even at the low settings. It has rejeuvinated our love for cooking tenfold!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range hood has been installed and operating for a month. I read the reviews plus I have other Bosch appliances. I like the build quality and the simple controls. The fan removes odors and the sound is better than expected. I installed led lights, so there is no heat issue from the lights. I am happy with this purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with the overall look and functionality of the cooker hood. I especially like the bright lights that are over my cook top.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Quiet fan operation; great lighting

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sleek. Quiet. Powerful. Happy to have 21st century appliances that complete the kitchen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my new Bosch hood! I saw a couple reviews that talked about the lights getting really hot. I loosened the screws to open the lighting case and it not longer gets hot.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased all 800 series appliances for my kitchen. However, I did not like how large the 800 hood was and settled for this. Glad I did. The footprint is small, is powerful and quiet. My only negative is that it shipped without bulbs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a relatively small range hood that fits our 1960s vintage kitchen perfectly. The sound level is amazingly low for how much air is moved.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the hood

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like my Bosch hood and have no problems with it. However, I feel very strongly that it should have come with 2 lightbulbs that fit in the socket underneath the hood. My particular model doesn’t include lightbulbs with the hood. I had to make a special trip to the store to purchase the lightbulbs that fit in the sockets underneath the hood which was very annoying. Also, why does it have to be halogen lightbulbs? Why can’t it be LED lightbulbs? Halogen lights get so hot and can overheat easily.

- Hood is excellent overall quality - Fans work well and on low are fairly quiet; high setting makes some noise but it's a lot of air moving - Knobs themselves for the fan (4 settings) and the lights (1 setting - on / off) are solid (no flimsy touch pads & don't need another clock) - Used 50W LED GU10 base lights versus the halogens; less heat - Make sure wood shims for undercabinet mount are solid; I used bolt with nuts to mount vs the screws - BOSCH, PLEASE OFFER A DIMMER SWITCH FOR THE LIGHT!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 500 Series hood works great. Not terribly loud on high speed. We have ours mounted a bit higher than specs call for but it handles fumes and steam fine. Very happy with the purchase. Looks great over our Bisch induction range (that we also love).

I love the range hood. It's got ckeannanfnskeeknlines. The blower has 4 speeds and works like a charm. However. The lights are a pain to Install. I've had two go in and click but a week to 10 days later they fall out and shatter all-over the stove. Both times no one was using store or anywhere near the range hood. It's a poor design to say the least.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I appreciate the Bosh hood as a means of clearing out the fumes of cooking. I would love to make some suggestions. Have the controls for both fan and lights with greater selection, even to a variable resistor instead of the three setting on the fan and one on the lamps. Also, make is easily available for the customer to order and replace the charcoal filters themselves. I am most capable of following the directions that came with the package ordered through the dealer. Four clips are not such a large challenge. Overall, I am glad to have this hood above my Bosch 8000 range. It an efficienet operational equipment/

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are very satisfied with our Bosch undercabinet hood. The fan is effective, and the light helps with cooking.

Not knowing if this is common for all hoods, I would emphasis up front that holgan 50 watt lights are not provided within. Other than that this hood does the JOB!

Love this hood, fit perfect after I removed the microwave. Easy to clean, and effective couldn't be happier.

Exhaust very well. Went outside to check the outer exhaust vent...was able to see Convincingly the smoke exiting threw the vent. Wonderful!!!!! Recommend 100%

Product was defective. Possibly from the factory. I suppose their OQC should filtered it out.

Great hood but my complaint is that lights were not included for the price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the undercabinet hood. The lights and fan are bright and strong

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new hood. The lights are bright and the fan is great. I did not give it a 5 because the bulbs are too difficult to insert.

Works great and very quite!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the efficiency that this range hood delivers. Quiet buy powerful.

Install screw is tiny, not sure whether it will hold range hood or not. No LED display, only two knobs, one for vent, one for light (NOT LED bulb). A simple vent hood but price is not at basic level.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very powerful ventilation. Normally I use the second speed. Works effectively. I like the stainless steel finish. It looks very nice.
