The BRANO 30-Inch Range Hood brings a distinctly modern approach to kitchen ventilation. Its standout feature is a triple-layer of control: you can command it with your voice, a wave of your hand, or a simple touch. This flexibility is practical. Calling out to “Andy” to turn it on when your hands are covered in flour, or using a gesture to boost power while you’re searing, changes the rhythm of cooking.

With a 900 CFM rating, this hood moves serious air. That’s enough suction to handle heavy smoke from high-heat cooking without a struggle. The trade-off for that power is sound—it operates at up to 65 decibels on the highest setting, which is a noticeable roar. On lower settings, it settles into a manageable background hum. At just 20 kilowatt-hours of annual energy consumption, it’s efficient for its class.

The touch panel is responsive and the gesture controls work reliably from about six inches away. This is a hood for someone who values smart, convenient interaction as much as raw extraction power. It makes a busy kitchen feel more manageable.
