Product review (4 stars): Powerful range fan at a good price
We bought this range hood as part of our kitchen remodel project. We have considered an over-the-range microvewave oven instead.  We scrapped the idea because fewer otr microwave came with 36" width. Also the best blow rate of otr microwave oven we found is 400 cfm. To me it is more important to have an efficient exhaust. This Air King AP1036-600 arrived in a beat-up carton. Fortunately the hood fan itself was not damaged, which was surprising. We hired a plumber to install it. We didn't have any installation issues except that we had to purchase a rectangular/circular adapter for connecting the range hood and the duct. The part listed on the ticket is "14x6x8 Reg Box - insulated", costing about $16, which is no big deal. But the inconvenience is the main reason I am giving it a 4 star. As mentioned by the other reviewer, the width of the range hood is a little short of 36". The 1/4"-1/2" gap between the cabinet and the hood bothered me at first. I was afraid that the grease would get trapped in the gap and it would be hard to clean. The plumber told me not to worry. With the 600 cfm blow rate and the three panel filter design, the grease should be extracted quickly and won't get into the gap. The stainless steel looks very sharp and is easy to clean. Again the three filter panels spanning the entire width of the hood is a very good design. Last but not the least, I got a very good price with Amazon. Overall I am very happy with this range hood.
