Best for

Renters or homeowners with 24-inch cooktops and no exterior duct access. The ductless recirculating design works in apartments, condos, or any kitchen where cutting through walls or ceilings for ductwork is not practical or permitted.

Skip if

Buyers covering a standard 30-inch range need a wider hood. Anyone wanting true exhaust ventilation that removes cooking air from the home should choose a ducted model, as ductless recirculation filters odors but returns filtered air indoors.

Overview

The Broan-NuTone BUEZ124WW is sized at 23.88 inches wide with a slim 6-inch depth, making it one of the better-fitting options for 24-inch cooktops and apartments where space is tight. Recirculating ventilation with a charcoal filter handles odors and grease without exterior ductwork. The 240-watt motor drives two fan speeds, giving basic high/low control. Push-button operation is simple and reliable.

At $145.31 it is priced as a budget-accessible, ductless option. The white painted finish suits white or light-colored kitchen cabinetry. It runs at 120 volts and meets standard under-cabinet installation requirements. Broan-NuTone's established brand reputation adds confidence that replacement parts and support are accessible.

With 775 reviews at 4.5 stars, buyer satisfaction is strong for a budget ductless hood. That review count is meaningful and indicates the BUEZ124WW performs reliably in the use cases buyers actually apply it to. It will not outperform a ducted exhaust model, but for ductless applications it delivers consistent results.

Performance notes

The BUEZ124WW recirculates kitchen air through a charcoal filter, capturing grease and odors before returning air into the room. The 240-watt motor at two speeds handles light-to-moderate cooking loads. Without listed CFM, comparative airflow assessment is not possible, but the 240W motor is adequate for the 24-inch cooking zone it covers. The 6-inch depth and 17.5-inch front-to-back dimension fit under standard cabinet heights. Charcoal filter replacement is required periodically to maintain odor-control effectiveness.

What buyers say

The 4.5-star rating across 775 reviews represents strong buyer confidence for a ductless, budget-priced hood. Buyers in this category are typically apartment dwellers or budget remodelers who understand the limitations of ductless ventilation and are evaluating on fit, reliability, and ease of install, areas where this model appears to deliver consistently.

Frequently asked questions

How often do the charcoal filters need replacing?

Charcoal filters in ductless range hoods typically need replacement every three to six months depending on cooking frequency and the types of food prepared. Heavy or high-fat cooking requires more frequent replacement to maintain effective odor filtering.

Can the BUEZ124WW be converted to ducted exhaust?

The listed ventilation type is recirculation only. There is no listed convertible or ducted mode for this model. If you want ducted exhaust capability, you would need to choose a different Broan-NuTone model that explicitly supports convertible installation.

Does the white finish hold up near the stove?

The painted white finish can show grease over time with regular cooking, but routine wiping with a damp cloth keeps it clean. The finish is common in apartment and rental settings where white cabinetry is standard.
