  • The QS2 Range Hood is over 50% quieter than the average hood and delivers brilliant halogen lighting to your cook top. Three-position, soft-touch controls and a non-stick, DuPont Teflon® coating on the bottom cover make it smooth and easy to clean. This hood’s quiet nature is due to its high-performance centrifugal blower. You’ll be able to carry on a conversation while cooking and you won’t miss out on the juicy details.

    • Brushed stainless steel construction is durable, easy to clean and a perfect match to your other stainless appliances
    • High-contrast, black controls stand out for ease of use
    • 36” width to fit with like-size cook tops and cabinetry. Proper sizing provides effective ventilation
    • Rated at 0.9 sones on Normal speed, the QS2 is over 50% quieter than the typical range hood in its class. The 300 CFM fan provides effective ventilation and you won’t have to turn up the volume to hear your favorite song while cooking
    • Three-speed, soft-touch controls with LED indicators give you convenient command of Normal, Mid and High fan speeds. Use the quiet, Normal, setting for average cooking conditions and switch to Mid or High to quickly remove unwanted cooking aromas
    • Twin 50 W halogen light system (PAR20 bulbs not included) can be adjusted to three levels with the front soft-touch push buttons. They provide bright, soft or ambient illumination for impressive lighting over the cook top and surrounding area. Enjoy the clear advantage of seeing what you are cooking
    • Two dishwasher-safe, aluminum grease filters are engineered to remove airborne particles efficiently and clean up easily to keep your range hood operating at peak efficiency (For non-duct option use charcoal filter, Model BPSF30, sold separately)
    • Clean SenseTM charcoal filters (BPSF30, sold separately) have an indicator that changes color when replacement is necessary for an easy maintenance reminder (non-ducted installation only)
    • Heat SentryTM feature detects excessive heat and adjusts blower speed to high automatically. This smart feature protects and prolongs the life of your range hood
    • Easy installation with keyhole mounting slots, connector/backdraft dampers and four ducting options provide simple flexibility

    Rated 4 out of 5 by Very Good product but excellent, A+ Customer Service ! We did experience a problem with a transformer inside our Broan Unit. This occurred after approx. 1 1/2 months. We called for Customer Service and they had a technician come to our home with 2 days. He had to order a replacement part but had our unit running with a few days. Please note that the unit has great features, especially the automatic high fan when temperatures are exceedingly high over the stove. The noise level at high can be a bit too loud. Filters are easily changed. All questions are answered quickly by their Customer Services. We would definely buy another Broan Unit based on the Customer Service alone. February 22, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Really Good Over-Range Ventt Hood I was replacing and older (40 years) Nu-Tone Range Hood 42 inches wide. The local Big Box Hardware stores and their websites told me that Manufacturers didn't make them any more. I learned different when I went on line to find a 42 inch wide range hood. Most of them offered a wide wange of hood demensions. This is where I found Broan and down loaded the installation instructions and detailed specifications. I found a reasonable price and ordered it. It turned out to be a quicker delivery than I expected. I was also surprised at how easy the installation was, how quietly it operated and how it matched the mounting and vent alignment of the old unit. My wife appreciates the fact that the extension over the counter in front of the cabinets is less than the old unit and no longer bumps her head on the outer corners and that they are rounded. The lights are also a great plus. February 21, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by This unit is exactly what a homeowner thinks a good kitchen vent hood unit should be like. This unit was puchased to replace a whirlpool vented hood that came with our new home. It was loud and was not powerful enough to remove cooking odors. The QS236SS has excellent lighting, plenty of power and very quiet because of its circular cage type fan instead of the conventional propeller type found on inferior models and bathroom fans. February 21, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Love it!!! Love love love this hood!!! The 3 light and 3 vent settings make it perfect for any cooking I do. February 20, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Great features, easy to install This product is a good value with its varied lighting levels and fan speeds. Its exterior is easy to keep clean and the filters are easily removed for periodic washing. My husband and I installed it in about an hour. February 20, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Product...Quiet and sweet lighting Delivers on all said features..recommend this range to all who are looking for great value and sleek looks... February 20, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Well Done For the size and removal rate of fumes and smoke this is a great product. Very quiet in our kitchen on the lower speeds where most of our use is. I would recommend this hood for any semi-skilled installer ( as I am). the Stainless Steel exterior is a plus . easy to clean. March 10, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Great Range Hood This hood runs very quiet compared to other hoods we have owned. I like that in low speed it takes care of most of heat and smoke while cooking. The automatic feature of increasing in speed to remove high heat and steam, then returning to lower speeds is great. Also plenty of light while cooking. oh, and it looks nice too. March 4, 2013

    Answer: 
    Thank you for your question on the model QS236SS range hood. This hood is designed to be hard wired to your house electrical system, but we do sell a cord kit (model number HCK44) that can be used to plug it into a receptacle. Please check with your local electrical codes to make sure it is acceptable in your area.

    All the product information online says that it is for use with Halogen bulbs (not supplied).

    Could PAR20 LED bulbs or CFL be used instead without causing damage to the unit?

    Answer: 
    Thank you for your question on your range hood. I’m sorry, but without knowing the exact model number, we can only suggest using the types and size of bulbs listed in the installation instructions. Please contact our Technical Support department at 800-637-1453 with your model number, to see if there are options.

    Answer: 
    HI, Robin. Thank you for your question. This is a covertible range hood. It will always come with the aluminum filters, but your will need to purchase the charcoal filters (for a non-duct installation) separately. You can purchase the filters two ways: model BPSF30 (4 filters to a non-break pack, but priced individually), or S99010308 (individual pack) thru our Parts Dept. You can try to locate a distributor locally, or contact Customer Service 800-558-1711 for more informaiton. Thanks.
