Saw a post that recomended this unit NOT be used to exhaust a kitchen range. Why, please?

The motor is within the exhaust chamber and it will collect grease on the blades and I don't believe the motor is rated explosion proof.

Grease will get hung up in it. It not made for that purpose .......also it will take out too much air out of the kitchen .......will cause negative air pressure

Kitchen exhaust fans are made to withstand oil laden fumes, this fan is not. It could lead to a fire. Good question! Most people don't realize this. As a former Fire Chief I have seen this happen more than a few times.

No. You're not going to like this unit for other reasons as well. Do some research and spend a little more.

It exhausts into the room that it is in. We live in a SMALL mobile home and have never had a problem. If the idea worries you, get a CO2 sensor/alarm.

I am not a professional by any stretch, but the only thing I can think of is: It only supplies 45 amps at max. If it is pulling max all the time, or crests over the 45, I can see why it would blow. I don't think this is meant to be a permanent arrangement, just a viable patch until the correct circuitry can be established. I would probably give it one more try, and avoid the microwave, hair dryers, AC, and or electric cooking skillets etc running simultanously.

I'm pretty sure it's "hot", the trigger just causes the wire to feed. I don't see why that would be a big deal. Turn the thing off when not in immediate use. Probably some regulatory goon, industry or union person looking for an "issue" to limit competition.

My experience, and most others by their reviews, is that the Waste King 9930 is a relatively quiet appliance. Please examine its mounting as a source of your noise.

I would not suggest it. This unit needs full airflow all around it. I have mine in a cabinet space with ample air circulation, but it died after a year. You need to find one that is actually "under counter installation" approved.

Mine is kept in a shelf about 2 feet above the range. woks this well with no problems. eventually my microwave started turning on/off/making sounds independently and had to be replaced. not sure why this occurred.

If you are roasting it correctly you would have no smoke. But using an exhaust fan above your stove is a wise move. I have never had any smoke come out of my machine. But the heat from it does have my smoke detector go off.

I don't believe it's designed for that. We keep it in the bedroom and move it to different areas of the house when another room needs attention. If I remember correctly, on high it will completely cycle the air in a closed room in a short amount of time. You can always call the company with questions, I've found them to be very helpful.

I have not tried the other units you listed but I have used this one and it was very good! I used it in a living room though and did not have to turn up the volume very high. The sound quality and construction is top notch though, better than what I have seen with Pyle products. This does not come close to a 900 watt system, but I would venture a guess that the Pyle 900 watt unit you are looking at is not really 900 watts. I have seen a lot of false advertising on these things as no one tries to prove them wrong. If you are looking to use this outdoors, I would suggest getting two of them as they easily hook up tandem.

Usually a stove, like a refrigerator, needs a dedicated outlet. I wouldn't trust it for a stove.

We have had this unit for several months, (in our kitchen), and I have never heard the unit run. I've heard the question asked before, but we have not had any issues with noise or otherwise. Very happy with our purchase...

K. I got this for a second house. I haven't been there since installed, but my nephew is saying that it is loud. Reach out 2/1, and I will give you an update.

This is a through the ceiling fan. I could not imagine trying to configure the duct work to go out through a wall... I would not encourage use in a kitchen over a stove either, too much grease for this beast.

It may be loud enough for a home, but not for a commercial kitchen. It didn't last very long in this tougher environment. Bottom line: Home use, yes.... Commercial use, no.

Since the detector is intended for the occupied part of the house that is heated and not subject to direct CO from car exhaust, the unit may not work as designed and that is the last thing you want.
