Empava 30-Inch Under-Cabinet Range Hood, 300 CFM, 3-Speed Touch Control

For cooks fitting ventilation into an apartment, condo, or compact kitchen, this Empava under-cabinet range hood pairs a low-profile design with flexible venting options. Its stainless steel finish brings a clean, contemporary look to the cooking area.

The 300 CFM fan offers three speeds, controlled from the touch panel, so you can choose the airflow setting that suits the task. Two LED lights illuminate the cooktop while you prepare meals.

Choose a ducted setup or a recirculating configuration to suit your kitchen layout. The hood supports top or rear rectangular ducting and top round ducting, making it a versatile choice when replacing an existing hood or planning a new installation.

Key takeaways

This 30-inch hood is designed for under-cabinet installation and measures 29.8 inches wide, 19.7 inches deep, and 5.98 inches high. Its slim profile helps keep the space above the cooktop visually open, while the brushed stainless steel finish coordinates with a range of kitchen styles.

For venting, choose between 3.25 x 10-inch top or rear ducting, 6-inch round top ducting, or non-ducted recirculation. The recirculating setup uses charcoal filters, which are sold separately. That flexibility can be helpful when the room layout or existing duct location guides the installation choice.

The fan provides 300 CFM of airflow across three speeds and operates at a listed 69 dBA. Touch controls keep speed selection at hand, and the timer and automatic fan shut-off add convenient control after cooking. Two LED lights provide focused visibility over the cooktop.

Compared with a hood limited to one duct direction, the available top, rear, and recirculating configurations offer more ways to fit the ventilation approach to the kitchen. It suits you if you want under-cabinet ventilation with a choice of ducted or recirculating installation.

Maintenance

The removable stainless steel baffle filters capture cooking grease and are dishwasher-safe, making routine cleanup straightforward. Take the filters out for cleaning and reinstall them once clean and dry. For non-ducted recirculation, use the compatible charcoal filters as part of that setup, these are sold separately.

A practical routine is to clean the baffle filters as cooking residue builds up, helping keep the filter area clear during everyday use. The stainless steel exterior can also be wiped as part of regular kitchen care.

How to use it

Select the venting arrangement that matches your installation: 3.25 x 10-inch ducting through the top or rear, 6-inch round ducting through the top, or recirculation with charcoal filters. Set the hood up for the chosen route, then use the touch controls to select one of the three fan speeds while cooking. The timer and automatic shut-off provide additional control when ventilation is needed around meal preparation.

Switch on the two LED lights when you want a clearer view of food on the cooktop. In a compact kitchen, this combination of direct lighting and adjustable fan speed keeps the main controls and illumination together in the under-cabinet unit.

Buying verdict

Choose the Empava when you want a 30-inch under-cabinet hood that combines a slim stainless steel profile with multiple venting arrangements. Its 300 CFM, three-speed touch control, cooktop LEDs, and dishwasher-safe baffle filters make it well suited to everyday cooking in compact kitchens, especially where installation flexibility matters.
