Wolf 36-inch Pro Wall Hood, 24-inch Depth review

The Wolf pro wall hood (36-inch PW362418) is the most configurable range hood in our lineup and the natural match for a Wolf range. You choose the blower: 300, 400, 600, 800 or 1,200 CFM internal, or 600 to 1,500 CFM inline or remote. Add a 24-inch depth, an 18-inch height, a heat sensor that boosts the fan above 200°F, two-level LED lighting and stainless baffle filters. One thing to know up front: the roughly $2,585 list price covers the hood shell only. The blower costs extra.

Design and build of the Wolf pro wall hood

The PW362418 is a stainless pro-style wall hood, 36 inches wide, 24 inches deep and 18 inches tall. It's designed to sit 30 to 36 inches above the cooking surface and visually anchor a Wolf range. If you want more front-to-back coverage, the PW362718 is 27 inches deep, which helps capture smoke and steam from the front burners of a pro range.

Stainless baffle filters handle heavy grease and are easy to clean, and the two-level LED lighting brightens the cooking surface. A recirculating kit is available if you can't vent outside, though ducted is the better choice for high-heat cooking.

Performance on paper

The blower choice determines performance. Internal blowers range from 300 to 1,200 CFM, and inline or remote blowers from 600 to 1,500 CFM. A remote blower moves the motor outside the kitchen, which reduces noise in the room.

How much CFM do you need? High-output gas ranges and grills need more airflow than induction. Use our range hood CFM guide to size it, and remember that many local codes require makeup air above certain exhaust levels, often around 400 CFM. Check with your installer.

The 10-inch round duct is generous and suits higher-CFM blowers, but it needs space in walls or ceilings. Plan the duct run early.

The heat sensor is a practical feature: when the hood detects temperatures above 200°F, it boosts the fan automatically, which helps if you forget to turn it up during a hard sear.

Who it's for (and who should skip it)

Buy it if you have a Wolf range, cook with high heat, and want to size ventilation precisely with the right blower. Serious cooks benefit from the flexibility, especially with a remote blower for quieter operation.

Skip it if you want a simple, all-in-one price or smart features. A Vent-A-Hood or Zephyr insert costs less overall.

Price, warranty and service

Wolf lists the PW362418 shell at about $2,585. The blower is sold separately and is required, so your real cost is hood plus blower plus ductwork and installation. Ask for a package quote that includes the blower and your Wolf range so the full number is clear.

Coverage is 2 years full with a 5-year limited warranty, per a retailer's listing of Wolf's terms.
