jennair/maytag UXT5436AD range hood
 

Does anybodty here have any experience with this range hood? It's a 400
CFM under cabinet unit, which features "self-clean filterless
operation". I have no idea what that means, how it works and really if
it works. Thanks for any and all comments.

I looked up the unit you mention and it said nothing more about it. You
could look up Maytag's customer service phone number. I'll bet 'someone'
there could tell you -- Let us know.

OK, got through to Jennair/Maytag: "Centrifugal action deposits the
residues in a cleaning cup". I guess this is similar to the operation
of the Zephyr Hurricane, etc. This seems messy to me. So my new
question becomes, what is this groups experience with self-cleaning
range hoods in general?

I have to laugh about this description "deposits the residues in a cleaning
cup."
DH and I purchased an ionizer (or ozonator) some years ago - very expensive,
but that's what it did, threw all the residues up against the wall. I guess
they used this equipment in hotel rooms, but it didn't take long for them
to figure out that it was costly washing down walls.
I thought there would be no trouble with this even though they said that it
only affected rubber. (Lots of my books must've been bound using some
rubber.)

I'm not much help, but I'm glad you found out how it worked for that
particular model.
