CIARRA Portable Range Hood, Desktop Range Hood with 2 Speed Exhaust Fan, Detachable Aluminum Filter, Large Oil Collection Cup, Portable Kitchen Exhaust Fan for Indoor BBQ, Hot Pot

After I went to Korea I was looking for one of these and ordered this. It was cheaper than Home Depot for the same exact product and had more color options. I have used this for hot pot Korean bbq shabu shabu fried rice, it works very well. The smell after cooking disappears about a hour or two after I open windows as before we were not able to do it cuz of the smoke and steam. I didn’t even want to try. Very easy to turn on and plug in. Noise level is loud but you can still talk to the person next to you and across from you. Love the cool down mode as well. Fantastic product.

it’s a great tool for renters.

I recently bought a new island range with no exhaust fan. The Ciarra exhaust fan works as well as the old down draft exhaust fan and is equal to the over the oven fans that are on most stoves. If you are expecting complete elimination of smoke and steam, the Ciarra fan does not do that but it does significantly reduce the smoke and odors from frying.The biggest drawback to the fan is the cord. Since my stove is an island, plugging in the Ciarra fan on the counter means the cord drapes across the walk area. Since you don't have need of an exhaust fan every time you cook, the Ciarra fan is easy to store.Overall, I think this is a good exhaust fan alternative.

The unit is quite loud, even on the lower fan setting. Unfortunately, the filter does not seem to work effectively. There is noticeable oil buildup on the back of the fan, indicating that grease is not being properly trapped. Additionally, the oil collection cup is poorly designed; it's difficult to remove and even harder to clean. While the concept is good for small indoor setups, the overall functionality and maintenance issues make it hard to recommend.

Works great!

I'm actually pretty impressed. It's way better than I expected, easily sucking up all the cooking smells. Setting it up was a breeze, and it doesn't take up much counter space. Honestly, it's a game changer for my small apartment kitchen!

Not fantastic. I dont think this works very well and it really isn't powerful enough. Im theory it should work but once u bring down from cabinet it just not worth the setup.

Larger than expected. A bit louder than anticipated. It doesn't really clean/clear the air of cooking odors, works well eliminating steam/smoke. It is portable.
