Looks great! The only issue is trying to peel the protective film off. Even after off you can see where the sticker was on the film, I've tried stainless steel cleaner but you can still see the square where the sticker was

Love this range hood. Super quiet and not overly large to distract from other things in my kitchen design. Customer service was great about sending out a replacement part that was easy to install to correct a lighting issue.

Fancy look for the smaller kitchen. Range hood look grand but the fan used for has less suction power. Overall good.if the kitchen hood is placed not too far from the outlet, I would definitely recommend this product.

Performs well

Works great, pulls lots of air, easy to use. I have used this for 10 years now, and the fan is still going strong.

Not a Fan

We would not buy this hood again. We have had it for 6 years now. After about 1 or 2 years the buttons stopped working properly when you touch them. The LCD screen doesn't show all the letters/numbers anymore. Sometimes the lights start flashing through all of the different brightness levels without us even touching anything. The grease trap does not do a good job of trapping all of the grease. The blue lights are very bright. When we had it installed before our blinds were installed, our neighbors asked what the blue light shining out of our kitchen was.

The pros. The hood is as pictured and is very stylish. The measurements are accurate and it makes such a beautiful addition to our space. Lots of compliments...very pretty.

Spectacular, the hood was all that and then some. Looks amazing in my newly remodeled kitchen. Just the look I was going for.

Bought this product in January 2017 while redoing my kitchen. It probably took us about 6 months to actually install it. So figure we've used it for almost 2 years. We loved it at first and then everything just stopped working altogether. We've looked online for possible fixed, but to no avail. As there is only a one year warranty, we will wind up having to purchase a new one, but will not be going with a Cavaliere.

ordering another for cottage

We’ve had this stove hood installed over our gas stove for 8 years. We did not purchase from home depot at the time because they did not carry it. We love it so much, we just bought another at Home depot for our cottage. This hood is so easy to keep clean. Love the removable grease screens, which wash up beautifully in hot soapy water using a soft bristled kitchen brush. Leave to dry, they insert back in easily. We did replace the light bulbs with Led. We leave these lights on 24/7 and may have replaced them twice in eight years. This hood has an adjustable fan speed of up to 900 cfm, which pulls grease and smoke up through to vent outside. You will not be disappointed. I cant get over the fact that its more than $200.00 cheaper than when i purchased it eight years ago. So thrilled they still make this model.

I should have read more of the reviews before we purchased this hood. Although it looks great and is quiet when in operation, the blue control lights, when the unit is on, are literally blinding LED lights. The overhead lights are fine and placed in back which is great, but the controls are blinding. Standing at the stove to cook with the fan on you are left with three obnoxious very bright control lights right in your face. Why an engineer would design this type of light in this application is beyond me. If it weren't for that I would recommend this unit, but I should have heeded the advice of previous reviews (FYI, we inquired to see if the control lights can be dimmed...they cannot).

Looking Good

This was an easy install. The unit is designed to hang on two nails or screws depending on the applicacation. Mine failed to include the bracket for the vent cover but I created a work around by drilling my own hanger holes. The three rating will be for the lights and to get the engineers attention. It is a good product. The LED lights are too bright. If you mount at the correct height and are 5’7 to 5’9 they will shine directly in your eyes. These are high lumenus LED that are to bright to look into.

Overall the range hood looks pretty good and is a good value. Install was fairly easy but after being installed for a little over a year we have discovered a design flaw.

[Rewarded Review] Looks custom made!

Purchased about 2 months ago and installed about a week ago. My husband and I verified it worked when it arrived so we set it aside. At installation time the grease cup, which is pre-installed under the unit was missing. We emailed the seller and they contacted the manufacturer who sent us a new one. Worked out well. The unit itself looks fabulous and custom made for our kitchen. Makes our 20 year old cabinets modern again! The seller also matched amazons price when I noticed it was offered for $60 less. We love it. It functions just as many say. The lights nicely illuminate the cooktop. Installation was a breeze!

Extremely disappointed with this range hood (Item ID: 301961857314 | MPN # SV218B2-I36)

1. The specification from the manufacture for model SV218B2-I36 at (sorry cannot inlcude the link, as ebay does not allow), mentioned it should have "Dual Electronic Control Panels with LCD Display". However the one I received only has one in the front. It is mentioned that the MPN number of this range hood is the same SV218B2-I36, how come it comes with only one panel? 2. I have an island mounted range hood (Cavaliere 198D 36 Island Mount), which I decided to replace after 9 years. The chimney size is 11.16" x 14.61". The major reason I choose this range hood over other candidates is that I wanted to reuse the chimney, at lease the frame / rack inside. Based on the link here (sorry cannot inlcude the link, as ebay does not allow), this range hood should have the same size chimney, again MPNs are the same SV218B2-I36. however the one comes with a much smaller chimney size. I thought if the chimney frame could be reused, the installation should be much simpler and I could do it myself. It ends up I have to spend more than $400 to hire a contractor to completely change the ceiling opening for the new chimney size, install the smaller chimney frame. It is a pain. 3. Based on the spec, this range hood has the 900 CFM maximum airflow, I did not feel it stronger than my previous onewhich is only 600CFM. It turned out that both this one (SV218B2-I36) and my old one (198D-I36) end up using a motor of the same power (218w). Dont understand with the same power motor, how the new one can generate half more (300CFM) airflow. Don't tell me this is an innovative design. 4. This one comes with 3 filters. Unfortunately, one filter comes with a couple of baffle pieces bent. how come? 5. The installation guild is nothing else other than a piece of wasted paper, completely useless... It looks like this should be my last range hood with Cavaliere...

Cavalier 30 in Convertible Range Hood

My first impression of the range hood in pictures that it looked really nice with a clean line presentation. I researched many sites and after consulting with my electrician I felt this would suit my needs.

Never thought I'd say "I'm in love with a range hood," but this one is so freaking beautiful! I am not a DIYer so I paid someone to install and he said it was a breeze to work with. I love the different light settings - I believe there are 4 different levels. I do have under cabinet lighting so I don't mind that these lights are towards the back. I leave them on overnight on the lowest setting. The lights are not LED so they look yellowish compared to my under cabinet lights, but when I turn off the undercab lights, these look great! There are also 6 fan levels with timer function. I admit, I have not yet figured out how the timer function works so I'll come back and review that.

I did a lot of research on range hoods. The big box retail stores have brands that don't have a CFM that can clear actual cooking. 400 CFM isn't going to do the job folks. Maybe if you're boiling water out of a 8 inch frying pan, but I'm thinking you're likely not doing that. Check online and you'll find Cavaliere is well reviewed. As for my review, this thing really sucks - in a great way! With 2 young children, something on the stove is bound to burn while taking care of them. This hood has 6 different speeds. We usually have it on 2, but if something is burning to a pan, then set it to 5 or 6 and you avoid the smoke detectors from going off. The fact that you likely just need this on 2 and it clears most of the cooking vapor, you enjoy a quieter motor than the box store 400 CFM models that you have to put on the highest setting where you can't hear a thing and still can't clear the vapor. This is why this model is great, lower setting and still takes care of business and is decently quiet. It looks really good in the kitchen as well. I recommend this to anyone picking up a hood because the value is so good as well.

Nice looking, relatively quiet but pain to install

Very elegant, efficient hood, but there are some issues that need to be understood before installing. This hood is a replacement to one that no longer worked. The 3 boxes included a flexible duct to be installed inside the chimney. A rigid one isn't possible with this hood design because the chimney ss skin doesn't have a seam that opens. One can't see and control the bottom duct connection to the motor nor the top duct connection joint above the chimney. My contractor initially tried with the rigid duct but we had to go back to the included flex duct. Another issue is along the inside of the chimney, the 4 corner screw brackets had to be cut off below the screws because the motor with the sleeve would catch and as we tried to insert it into the chimney. The brackets are not needed below the screws. FYI, I have an 8 foot ceiling. If you have a 10 - 12 foot ceiling, this may not be an issue and you may need the entire bracket length. One has to go through with the dry run in order to know how much to cut off if needed. In all it took 3 tries with the various issues. With the electrical plug, we could first test the fan to see that it works before starting the project. Afterwards the contractor cut the plug off and hard-wired the hood. He also purchased ss screws and additional washers/nuts to secure against vibrations loosening the mounts.

Words cannot describe how cool this vent is.

The first time I saw this range hood was at my sister-in-laws newly remodeled kitchen. I feel in Love and so does everyone else who see's it. It is so beautiful and has an elegant sleek mod design. Two years later I was remodeling my kitchen and knew I had to have that range hood. I love it and the fan speeds work great and actually do draft up the cooking fumes very well. The two lights that are under the hood work just fine, although a third one would have been perfect. I get compliments all the time from people who come over for dinner. I had no problems with shipping and it came well packaged. I have a traditional style new kitchen and this range hood adds so much personality and makes a statement for sure. Don't hesitate about the mod style, I have seen it in two kitchens with two different designs. It will be the focal point of your kitchen and you will, like me, smile when you're stirring the beans and have to turn on the vent and light!!
