So far the vent has been working well. I replaced the included halogen light bulbs with LED type to keep from heating up while in use. Unit shakes a little at high and boost settings. I even secured unit with extra washers at the screw points. One thing I was concerned with is that the vent fan is situated on one side of the unit. Right above the left venting filter. The right side seems to not have as good venting because the fan is closed off on the left. So only the left sucks up smog/steam/heat efficiently. The right side vent filter is more like esthetic than function. Not sure if GE has a fix for this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks good and was very easy to install. Pretty straight forward. The range hood vent we had before this install was an older version of the exact range vent, so the dimensions were the same. Love the stainless steel look. And the fan is much quieter than the version we had. The only thing is that it didn't come with a power cord, so we had to take the one from our older version and connect to this one, so if someone is adding this to their kitchen and not replacing one they need to buy a power cord kit. Other than that, we love it!!

I swapped my over the stove GE microwave with the GE Range Hood (JVX5300SJSS). The box said it only takes 10 minutes to install- more like 3 hours with the help of a second person (my wife). The item does not come with a power supply; you'll need to purchase one separately. But after getting the necessary extra parts and lining up the vent, the hood does it's job fantastically!! It's also very easy to clean. My suggestion for anybody looking to replace or add this appliance to their kitchen check all the prep work you have to do before taking on this task. Now off to installing a backsplash....

Much nicer I than the almond colored Miami Carey one that came with the house Grates are dishwasher safe and replacing lightbulb will be much easier While it is GE brand - like that it isn’t id’d as one -

I had to look in the box twice to be sure I was not missing a shield underneath the hood that is very open. There are notches that lead me to think there was a shield missing.

Only 50% of the fan exhaust if functioning. The second half if malfunctioning . Review will be updated once it is fixed

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have it installed as a ventless over a range. Even when it’s on high it doesn’t suction any air into the filters. As a matter of fact, it feels like the fan is blowing down not drawing air up. See the flame being blown when held up to the fan and the smoke not going up just staying around the napkin when held down by the cooktop. All recommendations for distance were followed. It’s worse when you put in the charcoal filter. Don’t waste your money, we’ll be buying a different one. The lights work well.

This hood was the final piece of our new kitchen. The charcoal filter eliminates cooking odors which is hidden behind the grease filter. The two light settings is great for cooking and on low setting puts that nice accent on our slate colored GE stove. My wife is short and we purchased a remote control that is remote control ready for that my wife can control the fan and lights. Great job GE on this hood.

The stainless steel design looks fantastic. Installation wasn’t that bad. You definitely need 2 people to install it. The front control buttons are easily accessible and simple to use. The suction of the vent is strong and powerful, and keeps the view of steaming pots very clear. The overhead lighting is excellent. It covers and illuminates the entire stovetop. I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The fan assembly is on the left side leaving little to no exhaust on the right side. It is also to close to the filter so all the air goes through one spot. The unit comes with halogen lights that work fine but get hot. I would recommend changing them out to LED, if not eventually when you goto change the bulb the plastic housing will crumble. The stainless steel shell is built well.
