Best Island Range Hoods

It's beautiful, modern, built to last, and packed with features – unbeatable on nearly every front and by far the best island range hood available.

It's expensive, and the instructions that come with it need to be more detailed.

Best Bang for the Buck

Cosmo

Good looking, quiet, and feature-packed – looks and functions like owners spent a lot of money on it while in actuality it's a fraction of the price of many competitors.

In addition to the streamlined, curved design and similar features as costlier models, it impresses with its 900 CFM capacity and 5-year parts warranty.

LED lighting could be brighter; installation instructions and hardware could be better.

GE Profile

Has a lot to offer in looks and convenient features, but there are also some issues with installation and functionality that are disappointing considering the high-end price.

Stands out for its contemporary, curved design that looks gorgeous when installed. Loaded with features including 2 variable speeds, easy-to-clean filters, and bright halogen lighting.

48 in. Island Mount Range Hood in Stainless Steel

Installation is challenging, and the upper duct covers are difficult to put in place. Hangs a bit low on ceilings of 8 feet or less. Pricey and a bit noisy.

ZLINE Kitchen and Bath

If it suits your island space, it's attractive and has numerous features and an excellent warranty that makes it a good value worth considering.

A large hood (48 inches) with a mid-level price and a lot to offer for the money – 4 speeds, 760 CFM, and worry-free lifetime motor warranty. Customer service is attentive.

30 in. Convertible Kitchen Island Mount Range Hood in Stainless Steel

The size won't work for all kitchen islands. May require modifications for certain ceiling heights – a common concern for island range hoods.

AKDY

An affordable, smaller option with useful functions and even includes duct pipes for the dual 6-inch round vent openings. The downside is that it won't work for all kitchens, and installation is difficult.

Sports a basic yet nice-looking modern design. Feature include touch controls, 4 speeds, fairly quiet operation, and 400 CFM air filtering capabilities. 30-inch size is suitable for smaller islands and tighter spaces.
