Reviews around pipe (5.00 of 5)

  • I tried for an hour, in the attic, to compress or expand the solid duct pipe to fit inside or outside the vent opening...until the adjustable elbow I was using broke.
  • Any decent range hood, if not your local building code, is going to require solid duct pipe with smooth walls.
  • The crimped end of the solid duct pipe is the exact same diameter as the opening on this vent.
  • The uncrimped side of the solid duct pipe is significantly larger than the vent opening, so I feel like increasing the crimps and managing to squeeze it in would leave it under some tension.

  • It's a solid construction
  • Very sturdy construction with solid welds in joining seams and a good coat of baked in paint.

Reviews around thing (5.00 of 5)

  • Maybe I got a bad one, but this thing leaks like a sieve.
  • Even shingles cannot have nails closer than 2 inches to the gap, such an inexpensive thing to save on

Reviews around quality (4.21 of 5)

  • I’ll be replacing it soon and will look for another brand and make sure I paint it with a good quality paint before installing.
  • Otherwise, the Broan 634M appears well made and of sufficient strength and quality to last a long time.
  • Only damage was user inflicted as it went sliding down the roof scuffing up the otherwise perfect finish
  • Read remaining 7 reviews for quality

Reviews around unit (3.86 of 5)

  • Sturdy well built units.
  • This unit should not be used for snow areas (way too short) or hurricane areas (poorly functioning baffle), or 'particular' people (too much noise from the baffle flap operation transferred down the pipe.
  • We've installed several of these and it is a consistently good unit with no issues
  • It's a good unit that includes the parts I consider essential - the 6" collar, a damper and a screen
  • Very solid, well built unit.

Reviews around finish (3.44 of 5)

  • It is made of much heaver gauge material and has a much nicer finish
  • The finish is good and is the only outstanding feature.
  • The finish is cheesy - "chunks" of the paint flaked-off where the metal was bent while forming the vent during manufacturing.
  • Only damage was user inflicted as it went sliding down the roof scuffing up the otherwise perfect finish
  • It'd be nice to find vents that have a MODERN finish such as powdercoating that will go on, stay on, and LAST.

Reviews around roof vent (1.00 of 5)

  • but I don't think it's going to fall out now that the roof vent is mounted
  • I installed this roof vent 4 years ago
  • When I was up on the roof cleaning gutters, I noticed roof vent was almost rusted through on the back side
  • I read multiple reviews about this and other roof vents

Reviews around open (1.00 of 5)

  • Second, the front portion below the vent opening should have weep holes so that any moisture or condensation could escape
  • I tried for an hour, in the attic, to compress or expand the solid duct pipe to fit inside or outside the vent opening...until the adjustable elbow I was using broke.
  • I'll look for some kind of adapter and, barring that, I think my best bet will be to find some way to smooth out the crimps in the duct slightly and have it fit over the vent opening.
  • The uncrimped side of the solid duct pipe is significantly larger than the vent opening, so I feel like increasing the crimps and managing to squeeze it in would leave it under some tension.
