Some kitchens don’t have a cabinet over the stove. The range sits against an open wall, often with a tile backsplash or open shelving, and the hood has to hang on the wall itself. That is what a wall-mount range hood is for: a canopy over the cooktop with a chimney cover that runs up to the ceiling and hides the duct.
In a kitchen that toasts dried chiles on a comal, chars poblanos over the flame and fries chiles rellenos, the hood matters as much as the stove. This guide covers eight wall-mount chimney hoods in 30-inch and 36-inch widths from COSMO, ZLINE, Hauslane, FOTILE and Zephyr, with the airflow, noise, filters and installation details each maker or listing states. If your range sits under a cabinet instead, see our guide to the best under cabinet range hood.

Quick verdict: which wall-mount range hood to buy
For most 30-inch ranges on an open wall, the pick is the COSMO Vista 30-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood (COS-63175S): 380 CFM, three speeds, dishwasher-safe baffle filters and a three-prong plug. For finer fan control and a three-year parts warranty plus a lifetime motor warranty, choose the ZLINE 30-Inch Convertible Wall Mount Range Hood. For a 36-inch range, choose the ZLINE 36-Inch, and for heavy high-heat cooking with a large outside duct, the FOTILE Perimeter Vent hoods state 1,200 CFM.

Our picks for the best wall mount range hood
These eight hoods cover the choices a wall-mount buyer faces: plug-in hoods with baffle filters for everyday cooking, hoods with more fan speeds and longer warranties, high-airflow models for cooks who char and sear several times a week, and 36-inch options for wider ranges. None of them repeat the picks in our under-cabinet guide, because those hoods mount beneath a cabinet; every hood here hangs on the wall with its own chimney.
1. COSMO Vista 30-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood – Baffle Filters, Plug-In Install
The COSMO COS-63175S is the sensible place to start for a 30-inch range on an open wall. It is a pyramid chimney hood from COSMO’s Vista Collection, and the listing gives the numbers plainly: 380 CFM, three fan speeds on a soft-touch panel, 2-watt LED lights and a 6-inch round duct.
What makes it a good fit for a kitchen that sears and fries is the filter. COSMO fits it with its ARC-FLOW permanent baffle filters, which the maker says are dishwasher safe and never need replacing. Baffles stand up better to heavy grease than thin mesh, and you clean them by dropping them in the dishwasher. The listing also names a backdraft damper in the title, which helps stop outside air from drifting back down the duct when the fan is off.
It is sold as a ducted hood and comes with flexible duct; COSMO says it converts to ductless with its CFK1-TM carbon filter kit, sold separately. It runs on 120 volts with a three-prong plug, so in many kitchens it goes into an outlet rather than being hardwired. The chimney adjusts from 25.6 to 39.4 inches tall, and COSMO quotes as low as 45 dB on the lowest speed with rigid ducting under optimal conditions.
Why we like it
- 380 CFM, three speeds, as stated
- Dishwasher-safe permanent baffle filters
- Three-prong plug, 120 volts
- Two-year limited parts warranty
Key specifications
| Hood | COSMO Vista, model COS-63175S |
|---|---|
| Width | 30 in wide, 19.75 in deep |
| CFM (as stated) | 380 CFM |
| Noise (as stated) | As low as 45 dB on lowest speed (COSMO, with rigid duct) |
| Ducted/recirculating | Ducted, 6-in round; ductless with CFK1-TM kit (sold separately) |
| Filters | Stainless baffle filters, dishwasher safe |
| Power | 120 V, 3-prong plug |
| Warranty | 2-year limited parts |
Why we recommend it
It suits most home cooks with a standard 30-inch range and a duct, or a duct run that is easy to add. It covers the basics a smoky kitchen needs without stepping up to a premium price tier.
Skip it if you cook over high flame every night on a powerful gas range: 380 CFM is moderate, and the Hauslane or FOTILE picks below state far more airflow.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Baffle filters suited to frying
- Plugs into a standard outlet
- Adjustable chimney height
Cons
- Airflow is moderate for big gas burners
- Ductless kit costs extra
- Noise figure given only for the lowest speed
2. ZLINE 30-Inch Convertible Wall Mount Range Hood – Four Speeds and Baffles
ZLINE’s KE-30 is a straightforward stainless chimney hood with one useful detail its listing spells out: four fan speeds at 120, 240, 320 and 400 CFM. That spread matters in a home kitchen. You can leave it on low while a pot of frijoles simmers and switch to the top speed when you char tomatoes and chiles for salsa.
ZLINE builds it in brushed 430-grade stainless steel and fits dishwasher-safe stainless baffle filters. Push buttons run the fan and LED lights. It is convertible: it can vent outside, or recirculate with ZLINE’s CF1 charcoal filters, which are not included. ZLINE says it is designed to fit standard round ductwork.
Check your wiring before you order. The KE-30 listing does not give electrical requirements, but ZLINE asks for a dedicated 120-volt, 15-amp circuit with a NEMA 5-15 three-wire plug system on its closely related KB-30, so confirm with the manual. If there is no dedicated circuit behind the range, that is a job for a licensed electrician. ZLINE’s Amazon listing gives a three-year parts warranty and a lifetime motor warranty; noise and exterior dimensions are not stated there.
Why we like it
- Four speeds from 120 to 400 CFM
- Stainless baffle filters, dishwasher safe
- 430-grade brushed stainless
- Three-year parts and lifetime motor warranty
Key specifications
| Hood | ZLINE, model KE-30 |
|---|---|
| Width | 30 in |
| CFM (as stated) | 120 / 240 / 320 / 400 CFM |
| Noise (as stated) | Not stated |
| Ducted/recirculating | Both; CF1 charcoal filters not included |
| Filters | Stainless baffle, dishwasher safe |
| Power | Not stated on this listing; the KB-30 sibling asks for a dedicated 120 V, 15 A circuit |
| Warranty | 3 years parts, lifetime motor |
Why we recommend it
It suits cooks who want fine control over fan speed and a longer parts warranty than most hoods at this level, and who already have, or can add, a suitable circuit.
Skip it if you want published noise figures before you buy; ZLINE’s listing does not give any.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Four clearly stated speeds
- Baffle filters
- Longest parts warranty in the 30-inch group here
Cons
- Electrical needs not on the listing; check the manual
- Noise and dimensions not in the listing
- Charcoal filters extra for ductless use
3. Hauslane 30-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood with Glass Panel – Strong Airflow, Lifetime Motor
Hauslane’s WM-739 is a step up in airflow. The listing title gives 450 to 900 CFM without explaining the range, so treat the top figure as the maximum Hauslane claims. For a cook who blisters poblanos straight on the grate or sears skirt steak in a ripping-hot pan, more airflow clears smoke faster, but it also brings the make-up air question covered further down.
It is a canopy design with an onyx black glass front panel over stainless steel. A buttonless touch panel runs three speeds, the LED lights and a delay shutoff that keeps the fan running for a while after you finish. Two dishwasher-safe baffle filters come with it, along with both chimney covers, the chimney bracket and a 6-inch round exhaust adapter.
Hauslane says it fits ceilings up to 10 feet with an extension kit sold separately, which is useful in older Houston houses and new builds with tall kitchens. It vents through a 6-inch duct, or converts to ductless with charcoal filters, also sold separately. The listing gives the size as 29-7/8 by 20-1/8 inches with a chimney from 17-3/4 to 34-1/2 inches, and a two-year limited warranty plus a lifetime warranty on the motor.
Why we like it
- Up to 900 CFM, as stated
- Delay shutoff
- Extension kit for ceilings up to 10 feet
- Lifetime motor warranty
Key specifications
| Hood | Hauslane, model WM-739 |
|---|---|
| Width | 29-7/8 in |
| CFM (as stated) | 450 to 900 CFM (listing title) |
| Noise (as stated) | Not stated |
| Ducted/recirculating | Both; 6-in round duct; charcoal filters sold separately |
| Filters | 2 baffle filters, dishwasher safe |
| Power | Not stated in listing |
| Warranty | 2-year limited; lifetime on motor |
Why we recommend it
It suits serious home cooks with a gas range and a real duct to the outside, especially in kitchens with tall ceilings where a standard chimney looks short.
Skip it if your home has fuel-burning appliances and you have not checked make-up air rules with your building department; a hood this strong can need it.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Highest stated airflow in the 30-inch group after FOTILE
- Baffle filters
- Lifetime motor warranty
Cons
- CFM range is not explained in the listing
- Noise and electrical details not stated
- Extension kit and charcoal filters cost extra
4. FOTILE Perimeter Vent 30-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood – High Airflow, Low Stated Noise
FOTILE designs its hoods around high-heat, wok-style cooking, which overlaps a lot with how a Mexican kitchen works: dry-toasting chiles, charring onions and tomatoes, frying in a hot pan. The EMG7508S-i from its Perimeter Vent Series is the most powerful 30-inch hood here on paper, with a stated 1,200 CFM and a stated noise level of 34 dB.
Instead of a flat filter you look up into, it has FOTILE’s Capture-Shield plates, which you can lower manually to pull fumes in closer to the cooktop, and an integrated oil cup that collects grease. Motion activation turns it on and off with a wave, a delay shutoff runs it for two minutes after cooking, and a 5-watt LED lights the burners. This version adds Wi-Fi control from a phone and works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Two details need care. The listing contradicts itself on warranty: the product information says two years full warranty on all FOTILE range hoods and parts, while a feature bullet says five years, so confirm before you buy. And 1,200 CFM is far above what many homes are set up for; talk to an installer about duct size and make-up air first.
Why we like it
- 1,200 CFM, as stated
- 34 dB stated noise level
- Motion activation and two-minute delay shutoff
- Wi-Fi and voice-assistant control
Key specifications
| Hood | FOTILE, model EMG7508S-i |
|---|---|
| Width | 30 in |
| CFM (as stated) | 1,200 CFM |
| Noise (as stated) | 34 dB (FOTILE) |
| Ducted/recirculating | Not stated in listing |
| Filters | Capture-Shield plates with oil cup |
| Power | Not stated in listing |
| Warranty | Listing states both 2 years and 5 years; confirm |
Why we recommend it
It suits cooks who do a lot of high-heat searing and charring, have an outside duct sized for it, and want smart controls.
Skip it if you cannot add make-up air where your code requires it, or if you just need a basic hood; the COSMO or ZLINE picks do the everyday job.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Highest stated airflow on this page
- Low stated noise
- Touch-free operation
Cons
- Warranty terms conflict in the listing
- Venting type and electrical details not stated
- High airflow may require make-up air
5. ZLINE 36-Inch Convertible Wall Mount Range Hood – Covers a Wider Range
A wider range needs a wider hood, and the ZLINE KL3-36 is the 36-inch pick for most kitchens. It shares the four-speed setup of the 30-inch ZLINE above, at 120, 240, 320 and 400 CFM, with push-button controls, LED lights and dishwasher-safe stainless baffle filters.
The KL3 is a different shape from the KB: a slimmer, more angular chimney in brushed 430 stainless. The extra six inches of width matter on a range with six burners or a griddle, because a hood that is narrower than the cooktop lets smoke from the outer burners escape past the edges.
It is convertible, venting outside or recirculating with ZLINE’s CF1 charcoal filters, which are not included, and ZLINE says it fits standard round ductwork. The listing gives a three-year parts warranty and a lifetime motor warranty, the strongest combination among the 36-inch hoods here. Noise, dimensions and electrical details are not stated in the listing, so check ZLINE’s installation guide before ordering.
Why we like it
- Full 36-inch width
- Four speeds from 120 to 400 CFM
- Stainless baffle filters
- Three-year parts and lifetime motor warranty
Key specifications
| Hood | ZLINE, model KL3-36 |
|---|---|
| Width | 36 in |
| CFM (as stated) | 120 / 240 / 320 / 400 CFM |
| Noise (as stated) | Not stated |
| Ducted/recirculating | Both; CF1 charcoal filters not included |
| Filters | Stainless baffle, dishwasher safe |
| Power | Not stated in listing |
| Warranty | 3 years parts; lifetime motor |
Why we recommend it
It suits anyone with a 36-inch range who wants baffle filters and a long warranty, and who does not need extreme airflow.
Skip it if you run a big, high-output gas range hard every day; 400 CFM spread across 36 inches is modest, and the FOTILE 36-inch states three times that.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Right width for 36-inch ranges
- Four clearly stated speeds
- Lifetime motor warranty
Cons
- Modest airflow for a wide range
- Noise, size and wiring not in the listing
- Charcoal filters extra
6. COSMO Vista 36-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood – Same Simple Design, Wider
The COSMO COS-63190S is the wider sibling of our top pick, sold as a 36-inch hood. It keeps the same 380 CFM, three-speed soft-touch controls, 2-watt LEDs and dishwasher-safe ARC-FLOW permanent baffle filters, and the title lists a backdraft damper.
One detail to note: COSMO’s own dimensions give the width as 35 inches, not a full 36, with a depth of 19.75 inches and a chimney that adjusts from 25.6 to 39.4 inches. On a 36-inch range that leaves about half an inch short on each side, which is fine for most cooking but worth knowing if you plan to line it up with cabinets.
It comes standard as a ducted hood with flexible duct and a 6-inch round connection, and COSMO says it converts to ductless with the CFK1-TM carbon filter kit, sold separately. It runs on 120 volts with a three-prong plug, and COSMO quotes as low as 45 dB on the lowest speed with rigid ducting. The warranty is two years on parts.
Why we like it
- Baffle filters at a wider size
- 380 CFM, three speeds
- Three-prong plug
- Two-year parts warranty
Key specifications
| Hood | COSMO Vista, model COS-63190S |
|---|---|
| Width | 35 in wide (36-in class), 19.75 in deep |
| CFM (as stated) | 380 CFM |
| Noise (as stated) | As low as 45 dB on lowest speed (COSMO, with rigid duct) |
| Ducted/recirculating | Ducted, 6-in round; ductless with CFK1-TM kit (sold separately) |
| Filters | Stainless baffle filters, dishwasher safe |
| Power | 120 V, 3-prong plug |
| Warranty | 2-year limited parts |
Why we recommend it
It suits a 36-inch electric or modest gas range where you want baffle filters and a plug-in install without paying for a premium hood.
Skip it if you want the hood to cover the full width of the range exactly, or need more than moderate airflow.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Plug-in install
- Baffle filters
- Adjustable chimney
Cons
- 35 inches wide, not a full 36
- Same moderate airflow as the 30-inch
- Ductless kit extra
7. FOTILE Perimeter Vent 36-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood – Built for Big Burners
For a 36-inch gas range that sees a lot of high-heat cooking, FOTILE’s EMG9008S is the most capable hood on this page by its stated numbers: 1,200 CFM and a noise level of 34 dB, the same figures FOTILE gives for the 30-inch Perimeter Vent model above.
It uses the same manually adjustable Capture-Shield plates to draw smoke and grease off the cooktop, and motion activation to switch it on and off without touching it. FOTILE’s listing for this model highlights a new interface with a two-color light bar that widens with fan speed. Unlike the 30-inch EMG7508S-i, this listing does not mention Wi-Fi.
FOTILE states the warranty for this model clearly: five years limited on range hood products and lifetime limited on motors. As with the 30-inch version, the listing does not state whether it can recirculate or what electrical supply it needs. At this airflow, plan the duct and make-up air with a licensed installer before you buy.
Why we like it
- 1,200 CFM, as stated
- 34 dB stated noise level
- Motion activation
- Five-year limited and lifetime motor warranty
Key specifications
| Hood | FOTILE, model EMG9008S |
|---|---|
| Width | 36 in |
| CFM (as stated) | 1,200 CFM |
| Noise (as stated) | 34 dB (FOTILE) |
| Ducted/recirculating | Not stated in listing |
| Filters | Capture-Shield plates |
| Power | Not stated in listing |
| Warranty | 5 years limited; lifetime limited on motors |
Why we recommend it
It suits cooks with a wide, powerful gas range who sear, char and fry often and have a properly sized duct to the outside.
Skip it if your kitchen cannot take make-up air or a large duct; an underpowered install wastes most of what this hood offers.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Highest stated airflow for 36-inch ranges here
- Clear, long warranty
- Touch-free operation
Cons
- Venting type and wiring not stated
- Likely needs make-up air planning
- No Wi-Fi on this model
8. Zephyr Podesta 30-Inch Wall Mount Range Hood – 600 CFM, Hybrid Baffles
The Zephyr Podesta ZPO-E30AS sits between the moderate COSMO and ZLINE hoods and the high-airflow Hauslane and FOTILE. Amazon’s listing states 600 CFM, LED lights and stainless steel, and little else, so the rest comes from the specifications appliance retailers publish for this model.
Those retailers list three fan speeds from a 200 CFM minimum to 600 CFM, a capacitive touch control panel, hybrid baffle filters and an auto delay-off. They give noise as 1 sone at the lowest speed and 6 sones at the highest, so it is quiet when idling along and loud on full. The duct connection is 6-inch round, vertical.
Retailers describe it as convertible to recirculating with an optional kit, and list the size as about 29.9 inches wide and 22 inches deep. Because the Amazon listing is so brief, check the model number and the details on the product page before you buy. An optional wireless remote, the RC-0003, is sold separately.
Why we like it
- 600 CFM top speed, as stated
- 1 sone at the lowest speed, per retailers
- Hybrid baffle filters
- Auto delay-off
Key specifications
| Hood | Zephyr Podesta, model ZPO-E30AS |
|---|---|
| Width | About 29.9 in |
| CFM (as stated) | 200 to 600 CFM (per retailers) |
| Noise (as stated) | 1 sone (low) to 6 sones (max), per retailers |
| Ducted/recirculating | Ducted, 6-in round; recirculating kit optional, per retailers |
| Filters | Hybrid baffle |
| Power | Not stated in listing |
| Warranty | Not stated in listing |
Why we recommend it
It suits cooks who want more airflow than a 380 to 400 CFM hood for searing days, but a very quiet low speed for everyday simmering.
Skip it if you want every spec confirmed on the Amazon listing itself; most of the details here come from retailer spec sheets.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Middle-ground airflow
- Quiet at low speed, as stated
- Delay-off
Cons
- Amazon listing is very brief
- Warranty not stated in listing
- Loud at top speed, per retailers
How to choose a wall-mount range hood
Wall-mount hoods ask a few questions an under-cabinet hood doesn’t: how tall the ceiling is, where the duct runs, and how much air the house can give back. Here is what matters, in the order a kitchen would think about it.
Width
Match the hood to the cooktop at least: a 30-inch hood for a 30-inch range, a 36-inch hood for a 36-inch range. Smoke from the outer burners rises in a plume that spreads as it goes up, so a hood narrower than the cooktop misses some of it. Check the exact width, too: COSMO’s 36-inch Vista measures 35 inches.
Airflow, and what high CFM asks of your house
CFM is cubic feet of air per minute. Hoods from 380 to 400 CFM, like the COSMO and ZLINE picks, suit most home cooking. The Zephyr at 600 CFM, the Hauslane at up to 900 and the FOTILE hoods at 1,200 move far more air, which helps when you char chiles or sear meat on a strong gas range.
A hood can only push out as much air as the house lets back in. The EPA warns that high-airflow range hoods can cause combustion appliances, such as a gas water heater or furnace, to backdraft, and recommends consulting a professional. Building codes in many areas, including the International Residential Code’s exhaust rules, require make-up air for larger kitchen hoods in some homes, and the threshold and conditions depend on the code edition your city or county has adopted. Before you buy a high-airflow hood, ask your local building department or a licensed HVAC contractor what applies to your house.
Ceiling height and chimney length
The chimney cover has to reach from the hood to the ceiling. Most adjust within a range: COSMO’s Vista hoods from 25.6 to 39.4 inches, the Hauslane from 17-3/4 to 34-1/2 inches. For tall ceilings, look for an extension kit; Hauslane sells one that reaches ceilings up to 10 feet.
Ducted or recirculating
Every hood here can vent outside, and most can be converted to recirculate with charcoal filters or a kit sold separately. The EPA says the best choice is a range hood that vents to the outdoors instead of one that just recirculates the air. A recirculating setup returns heat and moisture to the room, so treat it as a fallback when a duct is not possible.
Filters and noise
Stainless baffle filters, used on the COSMO, ZLINE, Hauslane and Zephyr picks, handle heavy grease well and go in the dishwasher. FOTILE uses capture plates and an oil cup instead. The EPA advises routinely cleaning your range hood’s grease filter. Noise figures are quoted in sones or decibels, at different speeds and conditions, so use them as rough guides; a quieter hood is one you will actually run.
Wiring and installation
The COSMO hoods use a three-prong plug; ZLINE asks for a dedicated 120-volt, 15-amp circuit on the KB-30, a close relative of the KE-30, so check the manual for your model. Mounting a heavy chimney hood to studs, cutting an exterior wall or roof for a duct, and adding a circuit are jobs for a licensed installer or electrician where local codes require it.
How we chose these eight wall-mount hoods
We looked for wall-mount chimney hoods from established makers in 30-inch and 36-inch widths, then checked each one with Amazon’s product data for stock, model number, airflow, noise, venting, filters, power and warranty. We left out hoods listed as low stock or not currently shipping, which ruled out the Broan-NuTone wall-mount models available on Amazon when we checked, and we left out unbranded sellers. We did not find an Ancona wall-mount chimney hood in stock on Amazon. Where a listing contradicted itself, as FOTILE’s 30-inch listing does on warranty, we report both figures. The Zephyr Podesta’s Amazon listing is brief, so its speeds, noise, filters and size come from specifications published by appliance retailers. We searched the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recall notices and found no recalls for the hood models on this page; ZLINE’s recalls there are for gas ranges and wall ovens, not hoods. EPA guidance on cooking and indoor air informed the buying advice. We did not test these hoods.
Wall-mount hood questions, answered
What is the difference between a wall-mount and an under-cabinet range hood?
An under-cabinet hood fixes to the bottom of the cabinet above the range and runs its duct through or behind that cabinet. A wall-mount hood hangs on the wall where there is no cabinet, with a chimney cover that runs up to the ceiling. Wall-mount hoods are usually deeper and taller and often have more powerful fans. Our under-cabinet range hood guide covers the other kind.
How many CFM do I need for a wall-mount hood?
There is no single answer: it depends on the range, the way you cook and the kitchen. For most home cooking, 380 to 400 CFM, as on the COSMO and ZLINE picks, is a reasonable start. Heavy high-heat cooking on a strong gas range benefits from more, but higher airflow can require make-up air, so check with your building department before going big.
Can a wall-mount hood work without a duct?
Most of the hoods here can recirculate with charcoal filters or a kit sold separately. That catches grease and some odors, but the EPA says a hood that vents outdoors is the best choice. If you cannot vent outside, it suggests opening windows when it is safe and using exhaust fans.
How long should I run the hood?
The EPA recommends turning the hood on whenever you cook and leaving it on for 10 to 20 minutes after you finish. Delay shutoff on the Hauslane, FOTILE and Zephyr picks helps with that.
Our final pick for an open-wall kitchen
For most 30-inch ranges on an open wall, the COSMO Vista COS-63175S is the hood to start with: baffle filters, moderate airflow and a plug-in install. If you want finer fan control and a longer warranty, the ZLINE KE-30 is worth checking your wiring for, and the ZLINE KL3-36 covers 36-inch ranges. If you char chiles and sear meat most nights on a big gas range and can duct and supply make-up air properly, the FOTILE Perimeter Vent hoods state the most airflow on this page.
