Broan Rangemaster Hood RM52000 Series

Date Published: 4/19/06

Both decorative and functional, the stainless-steel Broan Rangemaster Chimney-Style Wall-Mounted Hood RM52000 adds a dramatic element to the kitchen for far less money than you might expect.

When compared to many hoods of similar design, this model seems an incredible bargain. And a bargain it is--if it will properly ventilate the range or cooktop you select.

Although the look of this hood is commercially influenced, it is not a commercial hood. This means it should not be used to ventilate high-powered commercial-style gas ranges or cooktops. Instead, it is a perfect hood to pair with electric and gas ranges or cooktops of conventional power.

Rated at 370 cfm (cubic feet per minute), this model draws a bit more steam, heat, and grease than the typical small hood. It can be used both vented and non-vented, and is appropriate for ceilings no higher than 8-9 feet. Higher ceilings can be accommodated by purchase of an extension flue. Ductless installations require the separate purchase of an indoor exhaust kit. In the case of high heat, the Heat Sentry safely adjusts this fan to high for immediate ventilation.

Two halogen lamps provide bright, effective lighting for your cooking surface. Fully enclosed, the bottom offers two removable, dishwasher-safe filters. For best performance, install this hood 24-30 inches above the cooking surface. Various widths are available for use with 30-inch, 36-inch, and 42-inch ranges and cooktops.

The RM52000 adds a dramatic and professional look to your kitchen, while providing more ventilation than similarly priced smaller range hoods.

Pro: excellent design and price bring the look of commercial to conventional kitchens
Con: not for use with commercially powered gas ranges and cooktops
