NOT a Bright Idea

When replacing all our 1978 GE appliances with new ones the old hood had to go. NEW hood had to match new stove, etc. Bought the basic hood...primarily for ILLUMINATION rather than air handling. Hood cones with an A15 40W incandaescent bulb. Bulb on this one is sequesterd by a light diffusing and dampening cover/lens. Did I mention a 40w. bulb? Original hood had a 60w bulb.
The light in the new one is great for creating MOOD LIGHTING, however, if you are in the MOOD TO SEE what you are cooking, get a flashlight.
A quick call to customer service (Rebecca was great) regarding substitution of LEDs that consume less than 40w yielded NO USEFUL INFORMATION. Seems I should be able to make this substitution, use less than 40 watts and deliver several hundred more lumens than the A15 40W provided. Rebecca escalated this inquiry and if all goes well, I'll get a response on the morrow. Today is solstice so tomorrow MUST, by definition, be brighter!!!
Great choice if you have auxilary illumination available...or if you can substitute LEDs.
NOT PLEASED this was manufactured in CHINA...if I'd have known I'd have shopped around. YES, I know that GE is owned by a CHINA corp.

Very appealing in design and color. Light is too dim because it is recessed and has a cover, diminishing illumination. Doesn't even seem like the light is on.

Small profile, so it is not the focal point (my beautiful hickory cabinets are). Does not emit enough light.

We chose this model to replace a similar Kenmore hood as we are replacing white kitchen appliances with GE slate. Nothing fancy here, open underneath, but it had two features we wanted- vent centrally located over the stovetop and a medium base light bulb so we could replace it easily with a bright daylight LED bulb. It fits our needs perfectly. We did add clear rubber bumpers on each side as our upper cupboard doors both open towards the hood. The old hood had sides that angled in to allow open cupboard doors. The bumpers are a good compromise.

We replaced our stove and needed a new hood to match. This hood was not espensive and easy to install. It is a simple no frills hood but does the job and the light works everytime (previous hood bulbs burned out often).

The hood works well for its purpose of ventilation and looks great. Only negative is light is not bright and not placed in the middle so it only illuminates stovetop in the front. We're going to have to get undercabinet lights somehow to wire in there bc it's too dark.

Like the size but miss the low and high for the lighting. Could not use the brackets that came with it . Had to improvise the mounting by adding blocks of wood to mount. Also the height was shorter and had to repaint the wall.

Overall this range hood is fine but the light bulb is very dim. Many times I have walked away not realizing it's even left on only to see it later. Will try to find a brighter one that fits.

Overall, this range hood does what it is intended, but I do find the fan to be rather loud. Installation was not a quick (or easy), as GE claims it to be, but not the most complicated thing in the world either.
