          Seems powerful
          Air intake seems powerful, lights are bright but slightly too far apart. Disappointed it did not come with the charcoal filter required for recurculating feature-hard to find & now on backorder so pointless to use fan.

          Hey there, and thanks for taking the time to submit your feedback. While we're glad the model is powerful enough for your needs, we hate to hear you have concerns over the availability of the charcoal filter as well as the lights being too far apart. We know issues like that may be an inconvenience. The charcoal filter is available under part number JXCF55. That is currently in stock on our Parts website here: https://www.geapplianceparts.com/store/parts/spec/JXCF55?SpecType=SpecType . Our Parts department can also be called at 1-877-959-8688, if you prefer. Our Design team will be informed of your thoughts on the filter being included, as well as your concern over the lights; we value your insights, as we like to know what our consumers think of the model. If you have any other concerns or questions, we're always happy to offer assistance. We hope you are able to get that filter soon, so you can use your fan again without issue - best wishes! -Sarah@GEA

            Functional Hood
            Functional Hood. Installation was a pain. Getting it to exhaust through the vent was more difficult than it should be. Exhaust to vent should be the default setup rather than requiring a part to be added. Fan is excessively noisy!

            Hello and thanks a million for choosing GEA for your kitchen. We are very sorry you had trouble getting the hood installed and appreciate the feedback. We have a helpful video that goes over installation here: https://www.youtube.com/embed/nrqTMMN9feA?rel=0 For loud and abnormal noises, be sure the right duct size is used. Smaller ducts can cause irregular airflow sounds. We are always happy to help so please reach out with any questions or concerns. - John@GEA

                It’s much larger than the one I had but it gives great light.

                  Great hood!
                  This is a great-looking, excellent working hood range. We switched from microwave with vent to this, and this blew its filtering out of the water!

                        Looks subtle, easy cleanup. Removes smokes and grease with power.

                          My Review for JVX5305SJSS
                          After researching the products in our price range, we landed on the JVX5305SJSS under cabinet range hood. The installation was easy (watched the GE Installation video on YouTube), and the final result and function of this product exceeded our expectations.

                            Good features
                            The range hood is good looking. Fan works well. I especially like that there are lights on each side so the range is fully lit without any shady spots.

                              Looks and functions good for the price.
                              Was simple to install. I had to use the two boards which came in the packaging as a spacer between the hood and wall to align the existing vent assembly. Painted boards to match wall for a professional look. Also temporarily mounted the two metal brackets under the hood to hold the hood in place while securing the hood to the newly positioned wood planks.

                                    We love the hood. The only bothersome issue is the led lights are not adjustable.

                                      Exactly what I wanted!
                                      Basic toggle switches are easy to use. The lights really brightened the stovetop. The exhaust fan draws wonderfully! The high setting is loud however.

                                                Classy Looking
                                                The fan speeds are quiet and I love the LED lighting. However...the LED lights only illuminate the front burners of my cooktop leaving the back burners semi-dark. My previous GE rangehood with Halogen lights illuminated my enter cooktop. I was disappointed my new rangehood does not have a nightlight setting.

                                                  We buy a lot of GE appliances because they last a long time and are very reliable.

                                                    easy mounting and ready to use imediately
                                                    My only greif is the lighting. The halogen lights are on the very front of the hood and only provide light to the front two burners of the stove. The fan is strong and does feature both low and high settings. Keeping it clean will be easy because everything is easily accessable.

                                                        We had a lot of trouble with fan noise. It took a lot of work to get the squirrel cage to not rub on the unit. I finally got it. Other than that it works great. We got it at Direct Appliance. Those people were great.
