Vent Hood Comparison Chart

For this reason, we've taken our top 7 outdoor vent hood brands and compiled all of the important details of each hood, into one easy-to-read chart. For comparison purposes, we choose the 42-inch wide hood, which is the most popular size or the most comparable size if a 42-inch was not available.
