The GE Profile JV936DSS, rated at 600 cubic feet per minute (CFM), performs well in tests and is recommended by ConsumerGuide.com, but it costs more than some wall-mounted and under-cabinet models with even better performance. This range hood also doesn't include a chimney, so unless you plan to install it under a soffit or cabinet mounted close to the ceiling, you'll need to pay an extra $150 to hide the ductwork. It includes halogen lighting and four fan speeds, but lacks most other extras like a filter reminder light and delayed shutoff. As for appearance, the GE Profile has a plain design that (when installed without the optional chimney) looks rather like a very tall under-cabinet range hood. Most wall-mounted range hoods are only sold in stainless steel, but this model also comes in white, black and bisque. Unless you prefer the GE Profile's minimalist design, the Kenmore 50303 (*Est. $510) may be a better choice -- it includes a chimney and even though the blower only draws 270 CFM, it outperforms the GE Profile in tests.
