Customer Reviews for HIDE-A-VENT 10 in. Rectangular Exterior Vent for Kitchen Exhaust Fans

This worked out well on my house without too much fuss. Seems like it is designed for new construction, but I was able to make it work without removing my siding by creating a trim around it. It is prominent in the picture, but when you are walking by it in reality, one barely notices it. I used it to vent my over the range microwave. Love being able to vent my kitchen.

this should be just what i needed to install the vent but have it somewhat blend into the wall, since it is in an area where people are seated on a deck. its heavy duty for a plastic material the door is free to open with fan pressure and yet heavy enough to close when not used. im planning to use it with cement siding and hope the piece i use on the vent is not to heavy to allow the door to open enough. if so it should be easy to prep for paint to blend into the wall. much nicer than any tin vent i have come across.

This is not just a kitchen exhaust fan , it's also a camouflage to hide the vent. Your siding, flashing or block Judy fits over the vent and it blends right into your house. It is rectangular and the opening is 3 1/4 x 10 1/4". It's designed for microwave hoods, and most residential kitchen hoods. It also includes double sided tape for an optional application for siding

Worked well as replacement for old one that did not close.

It was okay. For what it cost, I expected it to be dipped in gold. It did what it needed to, but we had to modify it a lot. I wish there had been another option for us that was less expensive, but this was it.

Sheerly on looks this gets 5+ stars! It's the best looking exhaust vent for our range hood I have ever seen available on the market--I had no idea something like this was available. Installation was fine. It's a standard installation size. Here's something I didn't realize, which makes it 10 stars!---you can cut out a trim piece of your vinyl siding (or other siding) and attach it to the vent door with the included adhesive. When you do that, it blends COMPLETELY in and makes your house look very clean. The bad: (2 stars) The wind catches the flap and gets annoying. Flap, flap, flappity flap, all day long. The designers need to attach a small spring in the door flap, just enough to keep it closed, yet able to be pushed open when you turn on the exhaust. I mounted our's on a west wall, and we get prevailing north and northwest winds like crazy, so it's been driving us nuts. I picked up some flat strips of adhesive magnets that aren't very strong, and I'm going to solve that problem....hopefully.

The Hide-A-Vent made a tremendous difference in giving us a more modern look to the outside of our home. Very happy with the end result and would definitely recommend this vent.

I wish it was availiable in different colors. White in particular.

It’s sleek and does not protrude out of the side of our house. We love both of the hide-a-vents we purchased.

Covered the vent fan opening just as I wanted. Seems to be well made and gives the vent a finished look

Poorly made. It’s very noisy. I’m going to replace it in the spring.

Looks great on our new house, closely matches our gray vinyl siding.

Fits glad I got it very well made and received it right on time thanks

Easy to install, works great and blends right in with my home.

At first I thought the door may be too heavy but the microwave fan opens it right up on low and it closes tight and has eliminated the draft that used to blow in when not in use. A great improvement on cold air draft in my kitchen.
