  • 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.

    • Powder-coated finish in black is durable, easy to clean and will be a perfect match to your black appliances
    • Monochromatic black controls blend with hood for a clean, neat appearance
    • 30” width to fit with like-size, standard 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 4.5 out of 5 by 36 reviewers.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Exhaust fan dopes a good job of ventiltation and is very good looking. Fan has good features and does a good job of venting. 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
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Nice! The lowest fan setting is good for simmering pots. Like the great lighting. February 27, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by great features. This product has quiet operation and style is exquisite . So far I do not have any complaints about this product. February 26, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Quiet fan operation; especially like the 3 light settings Our previous range hood was old and very noisy. We wanted on a new one that wouldn't scare a cat every time we turned it on. This one is perfect. The fan is especially quiet on settings 1 and 2. On #3 it's louder, I hardly ever use it on 3, but then it needs to use more power to get out the smoke if I'm burning dinner. However, the best thing about this range hood is the 3 light settings. I normally use the 2nd one when cooking but the #1 setting is perfect for evenings when I don't want the kitchen completely darkened. I would recommend Broan Range Hoods to anyone who asks which brand I have. February 23, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by Very happy with this unit Have used several under cabinet vent/ fan units; this is by far the best one we have had from ease of installation to the various features. Especially like the lighting choices. When I clean the oven and run the fan to handle the smell, it automatically moves up to high as the oven gets very hot in order to keep the area from over heating. February 23, 2013
    Rated 5 out of 5 by High quality, easy to install This was a replacement for an old vent hood, so everything was already in place. just had to rip out the old and install the new. This model had several options for adapting to different mounting/venting methods. High quality, Stainless Steel is easier to clean. The filters on this model can even go in the dishwasher. The fans are so quiet, quiet power is a sign of quality. Controls and sleek styling make this a beautiful and functional upgrade. Only downside is the halogen lamps produce too much heat, like a sun lamp. February 23, 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.

    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.

    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.
