The PACIFIC SC8130BS asks $839 for a 900 CFM under-cabinet hood with a filter-less design and 1200-watt motor, which is a very high wattage for a residential range hood. With only 6 reviews and a 3.5 rating, there is not enough buyer data to recommend this confidently at this price.
Buyers who specifically want a filter-free hood and have a kitchen that generates heavy smoke or grease and want to avoid filter cleaning and replacement costs over time.
Skip if
Anyone who needs solid peer-reviewed confidence before spending $839 should look elsewhere. The 3.5 rating across just 6 reviews is too thin and too low to justify this price point when well-reviewed competitors exist.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other kitchen ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, range hoods and microwaves we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The PACIFIC SC8130BS stands out on paper with a 900 CFM ducted exhaust system and a filter-less build, meaning there are no grease filters to buy or clean. The metal touch control panel and 6-speed fan allow fine airflow adjustment. At 30 inches wide it fits a standard range opening, and the stainless steel finish is conventional for the category.
The 1,200-watt draw is unusually high for a residential under-cabinet hood. Most under-cabinet hoods in this CFM range pull 200 to 400 watts. High wattage can translate to stronger motor performance but also higher operating costs. No dimensions for depth or weight were listed in the spec sheet, which makes installation planning harder.
The critical issue here is the review count and rating. Six reviews yielding a 3.5 star average at $839 is a red flag. There is not enough buyer feedback to establish a reliable picture of reliability, noise level, or installation experience. Until this product accumulates a larger review base, caution is warranted.
Pros
900 CFM ducted exhaust for strong ventilation on heavy cooking tasks
Filter-less design eliminates ongoing filter cleaning and replacement costs
6-speed fan provides precise control over airflow levels
Metal touch controls are durable compared to plastic push-button alternatives
Standard 30-inch width fits most residential ranges
Cons
Only 6 reviews with a 3.5 rating makes reliability hard to assess at $839
1,200-watt power draw is unusually high and will increase operating costs
No depth or weight specs listed, complicating installation planning
Price is hard to justify against better-reviewed competitors with similar CFM

Performance notes
A 900 CFM exhaust rating at 6 speeds is capable of clearing heavy smoke from high-heat gas cooking. The filter-less system relies on airflow alone to capture grease rather than a physical filter medium, which works best when the hood is used consistently at appropriate fan speeds. The high 1,200-watt motor suggests a powerful build, but real-world noise levels and longevity remain unverified at this review count. Ducted exhaust only, so duct installation is required.
What buyers say
With just 6 reviews averaging 3.5 stars, buyer sentiment cannot be reliably characterized. The low rating across a tiny sample suggests early adopters have had mixed experiences, but the data is insufficient for a confident assessment. Potential buyers should monitor review accumulation before purchasing at this price.
The spec sheet lists the filter type as filter-less, meaning the unit does not use a replaceable or washable filter to capture grease. This design relies on the exhaust airflow to move grease-laden air out through the duct. Regular duct cleaning may be needed over time to prevent buildup.
Why does this hood use 1,200 watts when most hoods use far less?
The 1,200-watt spec is unusually high for a residential range hood. Higher wattage can indicate a more powerful motor, but it also means higher electricity draw during operation. For reference, many 900 CFM hoods use 200 to 400 watts. This is worth factoring into your long-term operating costs.
What is the warranty situation on this hood?
Warranty terms are not listed in the available spec data. Given the limited reviews and relatively new market presence of this model, we strongly recommend confirming warranty coverage directly with the seller or manufacturer before purchasing.
