IKTCH 36 inch Wall Mount Range Hood, 900 CFM Ducted/Ductless Range Hood with 4 Speed Fan, Pure Stainless Steel with Gesture Sensing & Touch Control Making life Smarter IKP02R-36

I'm a former General Contractor so I'm super critical (& yes I know I still need to add two pieces of cabinet trim in my pic) . But here's the lowdown. About 3 weeks ago (3/24/21) I installed a new 20k BTU gas drop-in and needed to nix the downdraft I had. I was not going to buy this hood and planned to move on to a ZLine and pay the extra $ assuming this would be crap. Fortunately (so far) Z-Line was OOS everywhere and I had no choice but to move on and get something installed. So I bought this and thought that if it isn't as advertise I'll return it.So far this hood has been as advertised in all respects. Other than having a goofy name stamped into it (is that some Chinese scrabble version of Kitch??), and a goofy remote that went straight into the drawer, it is as good as some of the "Pro" Hoods I've installed for clients in the past. The stainless gauge is very good and not cheap AT ALL. In my pic there's a bit of streaking but that's the fault of the cleaner I was using not the hood. I was afraid I would find the hand waving business annoying (and yes it can change occasionally if you have a neanderthal forehead and like to rock out while you sauté) but all in all it's actually really nice that you don't have to "hunt & peck" for the speed button. The lights are perfectly ample and (at least with a short run to outside like mine) the fan is plenty good & strong and the noise level is perfectly acceptable even on high. The baffles are nice and to my surprise they don't rattle at all as the fan motor is pretty smooth.All that said I do have concerns about touch/sensor panel longevity. So far unfounded. But future parts availability does concern me in that respect. But all in all a great hood, good quality, looks nice, good functionality, easy install, priced right. If you like the look I don't think you can go wrong here. I'm very happy with my extra $1,000! Thanks ZLine!Over a year now and zero complains. This is mounted over a very high BRU drop in. And it will suck your wig off. All controls still work fine.

IKTCH Range Hood. Arrived with box a little beat up but unit had no damage. Instructions pretty decent, was a little confused about a long angled metal piece looking at instructions was not real clear what it was for, finally realized it layed along the bottom on the back edge to hold in the baffles and was the grease tray. I agree with others the protective wrap was not the easiest to remove, fingers got a little sore, it did leave a residue in places (I ended up using goo gone and it worked very well with no harm to the stainless). I did have to cut one of the flue extensions to make them fit. Practiced on a scrap piece first, used a grinder with a cut off wheel for stainless and as long as I kept plenty of water running on it did not get bluing from the heat. Lights are a little tricky to get to dim but just takes some getting used to. Love the motion gesture to turn it off or on and it has worked very well. Just make sure you cross both sensors and can move your hand fairly quickly. Only time we have had it come on when we really didn't want it to was when we clean it/wipe it down. Have it set up ductless. Installed and using it for about 3 months now. No issues and lots of compliments on how it looks and the gesture control everyone really thinks is a neat feature. At this point would purchase again if needed.

Range hood came in on time, was ok priced and has lots of features. The problem started at install when we noticed one of the chimney pieces had a slight dent in it. We thought no big deal we can replace that piece easily post install. The install was relatively simple and problem free. The hood is pleasing to look at and has a nice light. The fan motor is louder than we prefer but not over the top. The front control is very sensitive and can be annoying if you walk buy and turn it on.I originally had a problem with my order. The company stepped in a solved the problem in a very professional way. My hood is installed and working fine and looking good.

I love how it looks in the kitchen once installed. Relatively quiet compared to my previous 600 cfm vented hood. Also like the fact that you can wash the filters in dishwasher.

Bought it for a newly remodeled kitchen. Was debating between this and the equally beautiful looking IKP02-36, but went with the R in the end.Installation was quite easy as it only requires two screws for the hood and two for the chimney cover which we ended up not needing. Also ditched the adjustable vent hose included with it and used a straight vent pipe for the best airflow and noise level. Suction seems much better than the much more expensive Miele unit it replaced.They also have great customer service too. Emailed them about an issue with the gesture feature not working properly and one of their rep, April got back with a solution in less than 24hr. I'll update this review if anything changes.

Chose this one mostly for it's looks and functionality with a good CFM level. Our's is a brand new installation that vents outside of the wall so that part was a bit tricky but installing the unit is fairly easy. Once installed, this unit does what is advertised as having the motion sensor to operate the fans and lights.We found it very useful when you have your hands full or simply cannot touch the controls so as not to contaminate what your cooking or cutting while cooking. The lights are LED so it's not the old yellow color as the older ones and it also has a remote which is useful when you decide the smell is still lingering and your're already sitting in your counter table to just turn it back on. Their customer service is also very responsive in answering any questions and would go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with your purchase. Most important TIP is to never take the plastic covering on the chimney part to avoid any scratching during installation. Hope everyone enjoys this as much as we do.
