Great range hood for the price
By Nacho
I ordered the AP1036-600 range hood from amazon about six months ago. I'm happy with my purchase but there are a few things I want to mention.

1) When I made my purchase, the amazon page said "Sold by amazon" and now it says "Sold by Air King" so I'm not sure if that means the seller has changed. Don't know if that's important. Don't know if it's OK to post a price but I got 69% off retail. I haven't seen them that cheap before so I bought right then.

2) The range hood I received was not exactly like the one in the picture. The hood I received had different grease filters than the photo. My grease filters have an aluminum grille that has a honeycomb pattern and there are three of them that span the width of the range hood. If you go to Air King's web site you can see the different grease filters available and you can see the differences. The picture shows a two piece grease filter and it also shows two heat lamps which are incorrect. This un it does not have the heat lamps.

3) I downloaded the specs for this range hood from the Air King website. The specs say the AP1036-600 is 36" wide. It is not really 36" wide, it's 35.75" wide. This surprised me but I learned that it is not uncommon for the appliances to be slightly smaller than stated. My cabinet space is exactly 36" wide so there is a 1/8" gap on each side of the range hood. It still looks great so this is not a problem for me.

4) The black plastic knobs for the fan and light switch are kind of cheap looking. The black plastic trim on mine was slightly warped. I emailed Air King directly and they immediately mailed me a new set of black plastic knobs and the trim piece. They also included a stainless steel knob set at no cost. Great customer service.

5) There is a seam where each vertical side meets the top piece of the range hood. You can't see it in the pictures but it's a three piece range hood. In most places the seams have very tight tolerances but in others there is a slight gap. This really bothered me at first because I was expecting a one piece (at least the stainless steel part) hood. You really have to look to see it so I've mellowed out about it. Now it doesn't bother me.

6) The shipping packing could have been better designed. My range hood was shifting around inside the box as I brought it in the house. The box looked like it had been "man handled." Fortunately, the range hood was not damaged. Definitely need improved packing materials. I got lucky.

7) The three halogen bulb sockets are arranged perfectly to light up the range top. Great job on the lighting. I want to replace the halogen bulbs with LED bulbs but not sure I can do that due to the type of switch Air King uses. It's a two position switch for high and low.

8) The installation instructions tell you to screw the mounting cleat into AT LEAST three studs for the 36" h ood. Well, I didn't have three studs, I only had two. Since my walls are exactly 3/4" thick, I removed a section of wall 34" wide x 8" high and screwed in a 34" x 8" x 3/4" hardwood board. I used four screws in each stud for a total of eight screws. This was overkill but this thing is heavy and I was taking no chances. The board was flush with the rest of the wall so it worked out great. The mounting cleat attached to the board with four screws. I didn't use the warped pine cleat that came with the unit. I used a hardwood cleat of the same size. Predrilled all holes.

9) The fan is quiet on low, too loud for me on high. I keep it on low. The install guide states a range of duct sizes to be used with 6" being the smallest. I used 6" duct and regret that I didn't go larger. After researching this, the consensus seems to be that a larger duct would make the high setting quieter.

10) The bolts that attach the fan and motor housing were loose. I had to check and hand tighten all the internal bolts. Make sure you check yours.

11) The fan and motor assembly are heavy duty and well constructed. I have never seen a range hood with a fan unit as nice and as smooth running as this one. For the price I paid, I still cannot believe it came with the fan/motor unit.

12) The finish on the stainless steel matches my Jenn-Air pro style range nicely.

Overall, I was very happy with the quality and functionality of the AP1036-600. Considering I got 69% off retail I was REALLY happy. I probably wouldn't have purchased it if I had to pay full retail price. Very happy with this unit.

Powerful range fan at a good price
By S. A. Fitchard
We bought this range hood as part of our kitchen remodel project. We have considered an over-the-range microvewave oven instead. We scrapped the idea because fewer otr microwave came with 36" width. Also the best blow rate of otr microwave oven we found is 400 cfm. To me it is more important to have an efficient exhaust. This Air King AP1036-600 arrived in a beat-up carton. Fortunately the hood fan itself was not damaged, which was surprising. We hired a plumber to install it. We didn't have any installation issues except that we had to purchase a rectangular/circular adapter for connecting the range hood and the duct. The part listed on the ticket is "14x6x8 Reg Box - insulated", costing about $16, which is no big deal. But the inconvenience is the main reason I am giving it a 4 star. As mentioned by the other reviewer, the width of the range hood is a little short of 36". The 1/4"-1/2" gap between the cabinet and the hood bothered me at first. I was afraid that the gre ase would get trapped in the gap and it would be hard to clean. The plumber told me not to worry. With the 600 cfm blow rate and the three panel filter design, the grease should be extracted quickly and won't get into the gap. The stainless steel looks very sharp and is easy to clean. Again the three filter panels spanning the entire width of the hood is a very good design. Last but not the least, I got a very good price with Amazon. Overall I am very happy with this range hood.
