Air Filter Factory 8-3/4 x 10-1/2 Inch Ductless Range Hood Combo Filter

The Air Filter Factory Ductless Range Hood Combo Filter is a direct-fit replacement designed for recirculating kitchen exhaust fans. Built for owners of compatible Broan NuTone hoods, it solves the problem of lingering cooking smells and grease buildup in kitchens that lack external ducting. Instead of venting air outside, ductless systems rely entirely on fresh filters to keep indoor air clean, making regular replacements essential.

This combo filter pairs a front metal grease mesh with an activated charcoal carbon backing. During cooking, the mesh layer actively traps airborne oils while the carbon layer captures smoke and food odors before the air recirculates into your home. The unit measures 8-3/4 inches by 10-1/2 inches by 7/16 inches (commonly noted as 8.75 x 10.5 x 0.44 inches), allowing it to slide directly into the hood housing without tools. It is manufactured in the United States and ships in reinforced packaging to ensure the frame arrives flat and unbent.

Maintenance requires full replacement rather than cleaning. Because this unit contains activated charcoal, it cannot be washed like standard aluminum-only screens. Depending on your cooking frequency, you will need to replace the filter every 6 to 9 months to maintain proper air quality and prevent strain on your exhaust fan motor. Buyers must also measure their existing filter dimensions and verify their hood model number beforehand, as it is strictly tailored to specific recirculating setups.

Verdict: This filter is a dependable, hassle-free replacement for homeowners with compatible Broan NuTone recirculating range hoods. If your setup matches the 41F or 97007696 specifications, it delivers straightforward tool-free installation and reliable dual-action filtration.
