The Jenn-Air JXT8136ADS vented chimney range hood doesn't require a wall for mounting, so it's a perfect model for an island or peninsula installation. As powerful as it is good looking, it removes odors and smoke from your kitchen while it also makes for an attractive addition to your decor.

Offered in a 36-inch width, this range hood has a venting capacity of 650 CFM. More powerful than the typical range hood, this model accommodates the increased demands of indoor grilling. It also meets more stringent venting requirements of high-output gas burners and is appropriate for pairing with ranges and cooktops that blast out as much as 15,000 Btu of heat. In spite of all this power, the JXT8136ADS operates fairly quietly.

Jenn-Air has packed some great features into the JXT8136ADS. Included are six easy-to-operate, electronically controlled speed settings that are ideally suited to virtually any cooking technique. As easy to keep clean as they are to use, these controls are enhanced by a dishwasher-safe filter with indicator light. Featuring a 15-minute delay shutoff for both fan and lights, the JXT8136ADS is convenient to use, even for the busiest cook. Add to this bright halogen lighting and a nightlight setting and your kitchen is equipped with some of the finest features available on a range hood.

Versatile enough for kitchens with traditional ceilings or those with a more soaring range, this Jenn-Air ventilator offers a 9- to 12-foot chimney extension. Sleek, attractive and constructed of durable stainless steel, Jenn-Air's JXT8136ADS is also offered in a 42-inch version (JXT8142ADS) for an additional cost of $200.


Pros: Six-speed setting, powerful 650 CFM, quiet operation, versatile enough for use with high ceilings, rated for use with indoor grills and high-output ranges and cooktops, attractively priced
Cons: Lighter weight construction than some
