Xo Range Hoods

XO Range Hoods at Plesser's Appliances

XO range hoods, available at Plesser's Appliances, are the core of the brand. XO built its reputation on ventilation, offering wall-mounted, island, under-cabinet, and insert configurations across a wide range of widths, capacities, and styling directions.

Ventilation Is the Brand's Focus
XO's catalog centers on range hoods rather than treating them as an accessory to a cooking line, which shows up in the breadth of configurations, widths, and capacity options available. If the hood is the piece you are trying to get right, that depth of choice is the reason to look here.

Sizing Capacity to the Cooking Surface
Hood capacity must be matched to the output of the range or cooktop below, and hood width should meet or exceed the cooking surface so capture extends past the outer burners. Undersized ventilation shows up as lingering odor and grease film on cabinets. Ask about recommended capacity for your specific cooking surface rather than working from width alone.

Four Configurations for Four Layouts
Wall-mounted canopy hoods sit against a wall with the most capture area. Island hoods mount from the ceiling, finished on all sides. Under-cabinet models preserve the storage above. Inserts install inside a custom enclosure built by your millworker. The layout dictates the configuration, not the reverse.

Filtration, Lighting, and Noise
Stainless baffle filters handle grease capture and are dishwasher-safe on most models, with LED lighting illuminating the cooking surface and multiple fan speeds. Baffle filters are more effective and easier to maintain than mesh. Confirm filter type and noise ratings alongside capacity, since a hood too loud to run on high gets run on low.

Duct Routing, Blowers, and Installation Planning
Duct diameter, run length, and elbow count all reduce delivered capacity, so design for the shortest straight route. Blower options and whether a blower ships with the hood vary, so confirm what is included. Mounting height and, on high-capacity installations, make-up air requirements need settling with your builder before framing.
