CIARRA Portable Range Hood, Desktop Range Hood with 2 Speed Exhaust Fan, Detachable Aluminum Filter, Large Oil Collection Cup, Portable Kitchen Exhaust Fan for Indoor BBQ, Hot Pot

This came in a very nice packaging, I currently do not have a range hood in my home so this would be a solution for the time being. Was only able to cook two meals before the device stopped powering on at all. I reached out to customer support, and they were able to help me fix my issue. This ven hood works great and no more issues. Two settings a high and a low and helps collect any grease when cooking.

I don't even trust a wall mounted hood to catch all of the smoke and be cleaned completely. And a wall mounted hood is loud! So this little machine is quiet. I had to make sure it is running. It's the buyer's job to make sure the smoking surface does not greatly exceed the hood's diameter, a limitation for any kind of hood. So, make sure your smoking surface is not more than 7". That's the true limitation for this machine. Otherwise, if you diligently follow the cleaning instruction and clean the filters every time you use it, it's a machine that works great: (1) You see that the filters are greasy (2) There is oil deposit in the cup (I didn't expect as much oil deposit as it managed to gather). For a 7" pan or pot, I think it works better than a wall mounted hood probably because you can place it very close to the smoking surface.

It worked well, and not so much noise, power can be a little bit stronger

My kitchen is an open concept design and was hoping this will help reduce the odor from cooking immediately. I will be returning because of some issues using this. First complaint, device has to be very close to the pan for exhaust to work. Second, it does not reduce the odor from cooking. Third, I left it turned on and even after cooking, it does nothing to diminish the smell. I was really hoping for this to work, sadly it does nothing meet expectations.

I was skeptical and then I pan seared steak. It worked a lot better than expected, yay! That doesn’t happen all that often when talking a chance, but I am happy with the performance.

We were immediately pleased with how this works with our Ninja Foodie air fryer/grill. Our small home is much more pleasant for it. While dicing a large amount of onions (10#) for a big dinner, I was desperate to ease the misery of my burning eyes, so I gave it a try. Worked so well! No more tears and running nose. Job was finished so much quicker because I didn't have to take breaks. Next test is horseradish harvest. Even with a full mask, it is always just torture.

It’s not working

it does work to some extent, but not much at all. my main concern was how well it could filter smell, and it didnt do a very good job. it mitigates some of the smell but not all. also, it doesnt filter out oil so when the air blows out on the other side, the food smell isnt as strong, but the air fully smells like cooking oil and my whole room smells like cooking oil
