The COMFEE CVP36W6AST is a 36-inch wall-mount range hood with 450 CFM, a baffle filter, and a full-panel control layout for $172.71. It earns a 4.0-star average across 184 reviews, adequate satisfaction for a budget-tier 36-inch wall hood.
Buyers with a 36-inch cooktop or range who want a no-frills ducted wall hood with a baffle filter without spending more than $175. It works well for everyday home cooking in kitchens with exterior ductwork already in place.
Skip if
Skip if you cook frequently at high heat, at 450 CFM across a 36-inch span, the per-inch airflow coverage is thinner than ideal for heavy frying or high-BTU burners. Also skip if you need ductless capability.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The CVP36W6AST measures 18.58 x 36 x 36.22 inches and weighs 21 pounds. It moves 450 CFM across three fan speeds on 120 volts through a baffle filter, a meaningful spec advantage over mesh-equipped competitors at the same price. The baffle design captures grease more effectively and maintains cleaner airflow over time without the clogging issues that plague flat mesh filters.
The full-panel control interface is flush-mounted for a tidy look and practical operation. At 21 pounds, a two-person install is still manageable and the 36-inch width positions it correctly over a standard 36-inch cooktop.
The 4.0-star average across 184 reviews is honest, slightly below the category high, which often indicates a product that performs as described but may have minor friction points in installation or finish quality. At $172.71 it is priced below most comparable 36-inch baffle-filter wall hoods.
Pros
Baffle filter for better grease capture at an affordable 36-inch price
36-inch width serves wider cooktops and ranges properly
Full-panel controls give a clean front-face appearance
At 21 lbs, lighter than many wall hoods in this size class
Ducted design provides genuine ventilation rather than air recirculation
Cons
450 CFM across a 36-inch width offers less CFM per inch than narrower hoods at the same rating
4.0-star average hints at some installation or finish variability
Ducted-only, no ductless option for kitchens without exterior venting
No wattage data to confirm motor strength or circuit planning

Performance notes
At 450 CFM the CVP36W6AST moves enough air for light-to-moderate cooking over a 36-inch cooktop. The baffle filter is the standout spec, grease separation is more thorough than mesh, and cleanups are less frequent. Full-panel controls are flush-mounted on the underside for easy access. The 36.22-inch height of the unit means it extends meaningfully from wall to ceiling or soffit space, so measuring your available wall height before ordering is important. For aggressive high-heat cooking across multiple burners simultaneously, a higher CFM unit would perform better over this width.
What buyers say
At 4.0 stars across 184 reviews, buyer feedback is positive but shows mild mixed experiences. For a budget 36-inch baffle-filter wall hood, the score is reasonable and the overall tone of the data suggests most buyers consider it good value for the price. The 36-inch category at this price point has fewer baffle-equipped competitors, which likely drives a portion of purchases.
How does a 36-inch hood differ from a 30-inch hood in performance?
A wider hood provides better capture coverage across a wider cooking surface, but if the CFM rating is the same, 450 CFM here, the airflow density per inch of width is lower. For a 36-inch cooktop with all burners active, more CFM is generally better. The CVP36W6AST's 450 CFM is workable for everyday cooking but not ideal for simultaneous high-heat use across all burners.
Does this hood vent outside or recirculate air?
The CVP36W6AST is listed as an exhaust hood, it vents cooking air outside through a duct. Ductless recirculating operation is not listed as a supported option, so exterior ductwork is required for installation.
Is the baffle filter dishwasher safe?
Most baffle filters designed for residential range hoods are dishwasher-safe or can be cleaned with hot water and dish soap. Verify cleaning instructions in the product manual for the specific baffle filter included with this unit before placing it in a dishwasher.
