Xo Wall Mounted Range Hoods

XO Wall-Mounted Range Hoods at Plesser's Appliances

XO wall-mounted range hoods, available at Plesser's Appliances, mount against the wall above the range in a canopy form that replaces the upper cabinet — the most effective ventilation configuration when you can give up the storage.

The Most Effective Configuration
A wall hood captures rising heat, steam, and grease directly above the source, with the wall itself helping contain airflow rather than working against it. That makes wall mounting the most efficient configuration for a given capacity, with no fighting physics as with downdraft and no open-room cross-drafts as with an island.

More Capture Than Under-Cabinet
A canopy hood has more capture area and typically higher capacity than an under-cabinet unit of the same width, because the housing is not constrained by cabinet depth. On a high-output gas range or professional rangetop, that difference determines whether grease and odor actually leave the kitchen.

Styling and Width Range
XO offers wall hoods across a broad range of widths, profiles, and styling directions, from minimal contemporary forms to heavier professional treatments, including glass and curved designs. That breadth is the practical reason to look here when the hood is a visible design element in an open kitchen.

Filtration, Lighting, and Blowers
Stainless baffle filters handle capture and are dishwasher-safe on most models, with LED lighting and multiple fan speeds. Blowers may be internal, in-line, or exterior-mounted, and moving the blower away from the hood is the most effective way to reduce kitchen noise. Confirm what is included versus separately ordered.

Duct Routing, Height, and Code Planning
Duct diameter, run length, and elbow count all reduce delivered capacity, so design for the shortest straightest route out. Mounting height above the cooking surface, clearance, and on high-capacity installations make-up air requirements need settling with your builder before framing.
