Xo Under The Cabinet Range Hoods

XO Under the Cabinet Range Hoods at Plesser's Appliances

XO under-cabinet range hoods, available at Plesser's Appliances, mount beneath an existing upper cabinet above the range, preserving the cabinet run rather than interrupting it. Offered in a range of widths and capacities.

Ventilation Without Losing the Cabinet
An under-cabinet hood fits into the space beneath a wall cabinet, so the cabinet above stays usable and the run of upper cabinetry remains continuous. In a smaller kitchen where every cabinet counts, that is the deciding factor. It also makes for a lower-profile installation than a canopy hood.

Capacity Relative to a Canopy Hood
Under-cabinet units generally offer less capture area and lower capacity than a wall-mounted canopy of the same width, because the housing has to fit within cabinet depth. On a high-output gas range, that may not be enough, so check honestly against the burner output rather than assuming width determines fit.

Filtration and Lighting
Stainless baffle or mesh filters handle grease capture and clean in a dishwasher on most models, with LED task lighting illuminating the cooking surface. Because controls sit at the front edge at eye level, control layout is more visible here than on a taller hood. Confirm filter type and control style for your model.

Ducted or Recirculating
Under-cabinet hoods can typically duct up through the cabinet, out through the back wall, or recirculate through a charcoal filter where ducting is not possible. Ducted always performs better. Confirm which configurations your model supports and what a recirculating kit requires.

Cabinet Depth, Duct Routing, and Installation Planning
Installation requires adequate cabinet depth for the housing, correct mounting height above the cooking surface, a duct path or recirculating kit, and a dedicated circuit. Duct run length and elbow count reduce delivered capacity, so design for the shortest route.
