From the leader in residential indoor air quality, this under-cabinet range hood by Broan-NuTone is built to surpass industry standards with over 50 points of inspection, engineered as a reliable ventilation solution. The durable hood vent is up to 20% more effective at removing pollutants than the leading competitor with power ventilation at 350 Max Blower CFM to capture and remove smoke and odors from the kitchen. The Mantra range hood is also up to 44% quieter: 1.5 sones is equivalent to a refrigerator running, so it won't interfere with daily life. The EZ1 Install System allows for a quick and easy 1-person installation, and the ENERGY STAR Certification is both code compliant and provides cost savings. The 2-Level LED lighting modules and a 3-Speed tap touch control make cooking a breeze. At Broan-NuTone we believe that better quality of air means better quality of life.
Purchased MTR2303SS this morning and spent a couple of hours installing it this afternoon. I replaced a 40 year old unit. Space was a little tight and I struggled to get the "EZ" brackets in the right place. Installing a range hood in general is not as easy as it sounds in most cases, particularly if the existing wiring isn't in quite the right place or the ducting is off by a 1/2 inch, etc. Don't forget you need to be ambidextrous and work putting pressure "up" to screw into the underneath of cabinets. In the end, with a couple of breaks, I did manage to get it installed by myself, much of that time was just getting the old one out. I'm sure an experienced person has tricks to get things right, but I did not. I must admit the brackets do help hold things in place, once you get them right (maybe a template would help?). Essentially, you get the brackets installed, then feed the wiring through, then put the securing screws in place. I also ran into trouble where the bottom of the cabinet door was too low so I had to back off the screws and put a shim in to lower the hood 1/4 inch. I'm not a fan of the "beeping" with every button press and with the 2 stage light (which is handy) you have to cycle through both settings to turn it off as there is no direct way. These are the reasons I only gave 4 out of 5. The LED lighting is great and 2 light levels is an improvement over our old unit. The 3 speed fan is great and is an improvement over our old Hi/Low fan (and I don't find it "noisy", its a fan and will make noise). The timer function will be very useful as our old unit didn't have this option.. David777. Ottawa, ON. Mon Jul 21 2025
