FIREGAS Range Hood 36 in Under Cabinet - Slim Quiet Vent Hood

In this review of the FIREGAS Range Hood 36 in under cabinet model, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical choice for kitchens where space, quiet operation and basic ventilation matter most. The hood's slim profile and 20 gauge 430-grade brushed stainless steel make it a neat fit for condos, apartments and compact kitchens, while the 300 CFM motor and multi-layer aluminum filters handle everyday smoke and grease. Installation options and the ability to run ductless or ducted make it versatile for a range of setups.

Key Features

• Sleek slim profile: The 17.5"D x 36"W x 4.7"H low-profile design saves cabinet space and suits small kitchens and apartments.
• Durable stainless construction: Built from 20 gauge brushed 430-grade stainless steel for a high-end look and easy cleaning.
• 300 CFM exhaust: The two-speed fan moves smoke and odors effectively while promising relatively quiet operation under normal use.
• Multi-layer aluminum filters: Dishwasher-safe, reusable mesh filters trap grease and oil and are simple to remove and replace for cleaning.
• Convertible venting options: Can be used ducted or ductless and supports top or back venting for flexible installation.
• Simple controls and lighting: Easy two-button low/high control and a 2W LED that provides task lighting while cooking.

Who It's For

This range hood is aimed at apartment dwellers, condo owners and homeowners with limited overhead space who need a compact under-cabinet vent that still handles everyday cooking. The slim 36 in width and 4.7 in height make it a sensible replacement for older low-profile hoods where aesthetics and space are priorities.

Those who cook heavy, greasy meals several times a day or need very bright cooktop lighting might look elsewhere: the light is modest and some users note mixed noise and fan behavior under heavy loads. Also, buyers who require a plug-in model should note this hood is hard-wired by default and a plug is sold separately.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Attractive 430-grade brushed stainless finish that looks higher end and resists wear.
• Flexible installation with ducted or ductless operation and top or back venting options.

• 300 CFM motor with two speeds provides solid extraction while remaining relatively quiet.

Cons

• LED lighting is dimmer than some expect for detailed cooking tasks.
• Some customers report mixed experiences with noise and fan settings under heavier use.
