The Broan-NuTone EBS1364SS is a wide 35.4-inch built-in recirculating range hood rated ENERGY STAR, drawing 430 watts to move 400 CFM without external ductwork. At $809 with only 2 reviews, it is a specialized premium product most suited to kitchen remodels where ducting is not an option.
Homeowners installing a custom range hood insert into cabinetry who cannot run exhaust ductwork. The 35.4-inch width suits wider cooktops, and ENERGY STAR certification appeals to buyers focused on long-term operating efficiency.
Skip if
If you have the option to duct to the outside, a ducted hood at this price will remove cooking smoke and moisture far more effectively than recirculation. Buyers who want confirmation from a large review pool should know that only 2 reviews exist for this model.

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 EBS1364SS is built around a specific use case: a wide built-in insert for kitchens where duct runs are impractical or impossible. At 35.4 inches wide and 18.2 x 35.4 x 10.6 inches overall, it fits into standard cabinetry openings for integrated hood inserts. The 430-watt motor producing 400 CFM is a relatively high power draw for a recirculating unit, which explains the ENERGY STAR designation, the rating rewards efficiency even in a ductless configuration.
Three-speed push-button controls keep the interface simple and reliable. Mesh filters in a recirculating system need regular cleaning to maintain airflow; Broan-NuTone's mesh filters are generally dishwasher-safe, which simplifies maintenance. The stainless steel finish at 48.5 lbs suggests solid construction for a built-in application.
At $809, this is priced toward the upper end of the built-in insert category. Broan-NuTone's reputation for durability and parts availability is a genuine long-term advantage, but the 3.9-star average from 2 reviews is not statistically meaningful. Buyers should factor in the brand's broader track record when evaluating this model.

Performance notes
With 400 CFM and a recirculating ventilation setup, this hood filters and returns kitchen air rather than expelling it. That means steam and humidity stay in the kitchen even when the hood is running, a known limitation of all ductless designs. The mesh filter must be kept clean; a clogged filter in a recirculating system can significantly degrade performance. At 35.4 inches, the capture area is generous for a 30-inch or 36-inch cooktop. Push-button three-speed controls give you low, medium, and high settings for everyday cooking, simmering, or high-heat bursts. The 120-volt connection is standard residential wiring.
What buyers say
With a 3.9-star rating from only 2 reviews, buyer sentiment cannot be meaningfully summarized. The rating is neither alarming nor reassuring at this sample size. Prospective buyers should rely primarily on Broan-NuTone's broader product reputation and the published specifications when making this purchase decision.
Can the Broan-NuTone EBS1364SS be converted to ducted exhaust?
This model is listed as a recirculating unit. It is not confirmed to support convertible ducted installation. If ducted operation is important to you, verify with Broan-NuTone directly before purchasing, as some insert models allow both configurations and others do not.
What does ENERGY STAR certification mean for a range hood?
ENERGY STAR range hoods meet EPA efficiency standards, typically meaning they move a specified amount of air per watt consumed more efficiently than non-certified models. For a recirculating unit, the certification focuses on fan motor efficiency rather than ventilation effectiveness, since no air is actually exhausted outside.
How often do the mesh filters need cleaning?
For typical home cooking, mesh filters in a recirculating range hood should be cleaned every one to three months. Heavy or frequent high-heat cooking may require monthly cleaning. Most Broan-NuTone mesh filters are dishwasher-safe, making the process straightforward.
