Great Quality Hood
Vent hood was easy to install, works great, and enjoy the levels of vent exhaust and lighting controls. Very well done - we have our vent above the GE Cafe' 30" dual fuel range and it easily removes steam, and smells, from our kitchen even when all 6 burners are working.

Beautiful on the outside, but...
We purchases this range hood to go with our beautiful matte white Cafe appliances. I’m disappointed that the controls are old-style knobs instead of digital. Also, the CFMs could be higher. This was not an inexpensive hood. I expected more.

Beautiful & Quiet
We purchased to go along with our GE Cafe range. Very easy to install and functions great. I cook everyday and wanted appliances that not only looked good but worked. And so far, all is great. We replaced our microwave/vent hood with this unit and couldn't be happier. It is much more quiet and vents so much better than the microwave/vent hood did. The light is bright. We purchased the extender due to our ceiling height. It looks good. But, wish it had an option to come in the same width as the vent itself. It wasn't a deal breaker though. Just think it would have given the vent hood an even prettier presence in our kitchen.

This hood makes the kitchen!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we designed our new kitchen, we knew we wanted stylish and stunning appliances as well as a hood that's a showstopper. Thanks to Café, that's exactly what we created! This hood really completes our kitchen. It vents incredibly well while I'm cooking. However, the feature I think we use the most is the lighting on it. We love the soft light at night in the kitchen. If you have the room for a hood, add this for sure. Coupled with the double oven, it's truly breathtaking! Hard to believe appliances can be breathtaking, but they can be when it's Café!

Noisy and not efficient range exhaust fan
We have used this over the range hood fan unit for 10 months and found it to be very noisy on the highest setting and not efficient at all the lower fan settings. Looking into getti g a different unit because we don’t like the house to smell like our kit hen

Love the Hood but no duct cover
We are very happy with our hood. However, it took many, many months for our appliances to arrive and when they did we discovered the hood duct cover is sold separately. It is on order now but delayed (we have been waiting 3 months and counting for the cover...latest update is another month). Hoping it comes soon so we can finally have our kitchen remodel done. Suggestion: it should be more clear on the website and brochure that the duct cover is sold separately.

Quiet and beautiful
This range hood is wonderful! It has quite a few settings and it is SO quiet. The first time my husband turned it on low I did not think he had even turned it on. I had to go across the island to hear it and I was in the kitchen with him!

Not worth the price
I bought it some time ago with d/w, stove, advantium oven etc
Our kitchen redo took a long time… the hood is missing the flu ( you have to order it separately and they aren’t available!!) the hood is no where up to the high output burners on the range… my kitchen is constantly full of smoke, grease and smoke alarms blaring…

Bought a cafe hood to match stove and it doesnt
I bought a cafe stove (30", dual oven) in white. I love the finish on the stove. I chose a hood from the cafe line with the expectation that it would be the same white finish. It is not. The stove has a distinctive white finish. The hood is a pure white that doesn't match. I could not be more disappointed.

Hi there, we truly appreciate you choosing this commercial hood and a double-oven range for your home and are glad to have you in the Café Appliances family! We're very surprised and sorry to hear of the issues you are having with the finish on your hood not matching your range, as this certainly isn't something that we would expect. We apologize for the disappointment and would love to offer you some guidance in this.
This hood features our Matte White finish, and this is the standard finish for all of our current Café white appliances. The Matte White Collection is designed match any other appliances within this line. If your range model is a part of this line, the appearance of the hood would match. For reference, you can learn more about this collection here: https://www.cafeappliances.com/collections/customizable-professional/matte-white/.
Given this, we would recommend that you first check the model number of your range to make sure that it is the Matte White, rather than one of the other White finishes offered by our other GE Appliance brands, as this would explain the variation in the look. We would then encourage you to reach out to your dealer to ensure that the proper models were ordered, as they would be your best resource for information on the details of your order. We sincerely hope that this helps to provide you some direction and to restore your trust in us. All the best! -Eliza@Café

Just Beautiful!
Who would have thought i would use the word beautiful when talking about a vent hood , but here I am ! The hood is sleek , looks amazing, easy to clean and wowza it is powerful!. I saw that people were surprised it did not have more tech like options for the controls but to be honest, i love the dials . I would rather have those over a touchscreen for a hood. The light having a couple options is nice, for evening and day. The range of speeds for the fan are more then sufficient for clearing out all the smells from your cooking creations out of your home.

Sure has strength!
This vent hood may be a bit more than I need for my small kitchen but I am so happy with my choice! I have open shelving and a dependable vent hood is a must in order to keep things clean.

love this vent hood!
This is a great vent hood! I love the simplistic design and matte white color. Not to mention it works like a charm! If I have this turned on while cooking I never have smells lingering after cooking. Would highly recommend this product!

Works better than expected!
This may be my favorite piece of my cafe lineup! I had doubts since the rest of the set is extremely overpriced but this hood works wonders and looks great above the range in our new kitchen! It's loud on high, but you can't expect less. I only use high when searing meat, otherwise the other settings aren't nearly as loud.

The hood vent is very good quality, however the color...
The hood vent is very good quality, however the color was more of a frost white matte (blue tint) rather than a standard matte white, similar to my cabinets and matte white range. Other than the coloring, I’m happy with the hood.

Bright, quiet & perfect in our kitchen
I really like the way this hood removes cooking odors, puts lots of light on our cooking surface and is very nice looking. Perfect for our kitchen.

Display/pics don’t reflect duct challenges
The duct needs to go through ceiling, addl accessory piece is needed if you want it concealed. Still not the look in most of the pics that show no duct work above the hood. Especially disappointed because we ordered FIVE cafe matte white appliances to coordinate. The duct is visible between top of cabinets and ceiling. Hood is shape/size/color we wanted. Will need to adjust design preference.

This Hood Really Sucks! But That is a Good Thing!
We have a propane cooktop and even when we sear steaks or blacken fish all the smoke and steam goes into the hood. Great addition to our kitchen. New construction and we went with all GE Cafe' appliances.

It does the job
Initial install the fan motors were defective, very, very noisy. GE sent techs out who confirmed defective and ordered replacement fans. Problem is, techs said they couldn’t replace the fans/motors w/o removing the entire hood, which they wouldn’t do. Pointed out to techs hood does NOT Ned to be removed to deinstalled/reinstall the fans. They weren’t interested in listening. Called my handyman guy to come give me a hand and the fans were replaced w/o removing the hood and now works fine. Product is good, GE customer service & tech are awful.
