Thermador HMWB30FS
A built-under hood goes beneath a cabinet, not on a wall, which explains the compact 11-inch height. The HMWB30FS is a 30-inch version, 23 1/8 inches deep, that lives under the upper cabinet above a range and leaves the cabinet face as the visual feature. Thermador lists HMWB30WS as its successor.
The page highlights flexible discharge connections, which means the exhaust can leave the hood in more than one direction. That is useful in construction, but it is also the first thing we look at when airflow disappoints: a transition fitted wrongly or a flex duct with a kink limits the draw.
Touch control chooses between three stages and an intensive setting, and delay shut off keeps the fan going after cooking. Filters are aluminum-frame cassettes that go in the dishwasher. We check the filters, the discharge path, and then the touch panel, in that order.
It lets the exhaust leave the hood in different directions to suit the cabinet and duct layout. We verify that the chosen direction has a smooth, unkinked path.
It is described as convertible to recirculation mode. The filter and outlet arrangement is different, so we confirm how yours is set up. Tell us which way you want it to run.
Delay shut off is built in and runs it for a time. If it never stops, the control needs testing. It keeps the fan running for a set time after you finish cooking.
