CIARRA Portable Range Hood, 2-Speed Desktop Kitchen Exhaust Fan

Great fan, really sucks the smoke/smells from any cooking - make sure the outlet is pointed at a window

I love this exhaust fan. I cooked steaks on my induction, stove, top and a cast-iron pan. This fan sucks up all the smoke for me cooking on high heat. I highly recommend it to anybody that doesn’t have an exhaust fan above their stove.

We use this portable hood whenever we do K-BBQ or sear steaks indoors. For something this small, it pulls in a lot more oil and smoke than I expected. The filter and oil cup actually catch a noticeable amount of grease, and the airflow is strong enough to keep our smoke alarm from going off during heavier cooking sessions. Without it, indoor BBQ would be a mess.Just be realistic about what it can and can’t do. It’s not going to capture everything—there’s still some smoke and grease that escape, especially when you’re cooking at high heat or have multiple burners going. That’s just the limitation of any tabletop unit.The aluminum filter is easy to remove and clean, and the oil cup fills slowly enough that you’re not constantly emptying it. Noise level is about what you’d expect from a small exhaust fan—not silent, but manageable.Pros:Actually, reduces smoke enough to prevent false fire alarmsCatches a good amount of greaseEasy-to-clean filter and oil collection cupMakes indoor K-BBQ or steak nights a lot more tolerableCons:Can’t capture all smoke/oil (don’t expect a wall-mounted hood’s performance)Airflow is decent but not strong enough for very heavy cooking sessionsOnly two fan speedsBottom line: Not perfect, but genuinely useful if you want to grill or sear indoors without filling your place with smoke. It does enough to justify the space and cost.

The hood was powerful but very loud. The black filter screen was melting the very first time I sued it and smelled horribly even I kept the hood away from the stove. Would not recommend.

In a pinch, this hood works OK. I lived in a house with no vents and I purchased this product to see if I could make the post-cooking smell a little less intense. Great concept, works OK remove oil and smoke but doesn't do much for odor. I've since installed a kitchen vent, and I still use this when I'm cooking greasy food. Easy to clean as the parts come off the main body.

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.

I'm enjoying my portable range. It is lightweight, it’s odor removal, high and low speed & you can place it anywhere on your range I your kitchen. For 50 years I used factory placed hood range but this is just as good. I love it!Oh yeah, I got my sister to buy one and she loves it.

Our tiny kitchen without a door to living room has a circulating fan over the induction stovetop. Regardless when Im frying something like hamburgers the entire living room fills with smoke. The Ciarra placed right by the pan I'm using does pull in the majority of the smoke. The kitchen had some smoke but not in living room which was a huge accomplishment. The Ciarra is small enough to leave out on the counter for convenient using with each use of the stovetop. Im very happy with this product which also has a removable cup which catches the grease in the smoke from meats and oils

No funciona para mover una gran masa de humo, tiene muy baja capacidad de succión

Loud noise

These work much better than expected! My extractor is not working and no fix in the near future. I got two just in case - I cook a lot iwith multiple pans. These are powerful, very cool looking, and the cleanup is not too bad. I love them! Adding a funny picture of smoky rashers - i did not actually need the second unit for the one pan. There is a fat/grease collection tray, but I think the filters work so well it's always empty. How do I know these are actually working? First, I can see smoke and steam moving directly into the unit. Second - smell test. I closed the kitchen after browning chicken in Lard for Adobo. Left the room for 10 minutes, came back it and.. it just smelled normal. No smoke haze anywhere. Final proof is the filters themselves are really greasy.

Bastante funcional a máxima potencia.

Geweldig ding. Bij ons kan geen wasemkap of uitzuiger dus dit is heel fijn Het haalt niet alle geur van knoflook en kruiden weg, maar het helpt aanzienlijk. Maakt in stand twee wel behoorlijk geluid, maar ach. Goede koop. Ik denk dat ik er nog eentje ga kopen.
