A very good system which needs better installation instructions
on June 2, 2020
Posted by: Ram
I bought this system after comparing many systems through different web sites. I am very happy with the system (1 week after installation). The vent is pretty good in removing the fumes and looks pretty sharp in the the kitchen. Overall 5 stars even if the installation was sort of not so straightforward as the manual will make you believe it to be. Nevertheless, it can be done if you are a do-it-your self type of person with the right tools at home.The installation instructions are bare bones and not helpful when you run into problems. Best to watch lots of YouTube videos to get an idea if you want to do it by yourself.1) The unit, though not very heavy, becomes very heavy when you do not have good support and are trying to do it alone after some time. You have to have another person helping you or it becomes a chore. Accessing the back screws for installation is extremely difficult (but there is a work around - see point 4 below).2) Prepare a lay-out of the holes based on a template you can prepare by placing a sheet of paper on the back of the hood. Then pre-drill the holes on to your kitchen cabinet using this template. This makes life a lot easier when you are trying to put in the screws.3) As instructed, put in the front screws first. They are relatively easy to access (even with the cooking range in place). Just remember that the longer you are bending and cramming your neck/back the more fatigue can set in. So definitely use a support (jacks or buckets with planks - there are plenty of YouTube videos to give general tips and guidance). Putting the front Screws in place holds the range in place and allows you to work on the back screws.4) This is where accessing the back screw slots becomes a painful chore. They are recessed in such a way that they are slightly over the fan-housing and I found it best to remove the cooking range (if you can safely). With space freed up and having direct access from beneath the system (in almost a straight vertical line) allows easier access to the screws.5) Depending on the type of cabinet you have, you may find using the screw driver manually may be better than the drill - since slow movement gives better control. However, if you have predrilled holes then it is easier with the drill.6) Be forewarned (for older kitchen) that the rectangular vent can couple of inches off from the backside of the hole in the cabinet. My older kitchen cabinet had the hole flush with the back side and I had to cut couple of more inches to enlarge the hole in the cabinet to make sure the vent fits and sits flush when pushed all the way up. Therefore, measure before you begin.It was a good experience installing this unit. And in the end, a very good unit that has much improved performance over the older unit we had for 15 years. The lights are bright (no dimmer controls, just on/off). Other controls are straight forward and easy to use.We look forward to seeing how much the new baffle filters work - not enough time to test their effectiveness.The noise level is acceptable for a range this size and CFM - but can be loud for some. You get used to it over time.

Very satisfied although is a bit too noisy, but is a tradeoff since I wanted a lot of power. So far seams to be built with high quality materials. Came with all exhaust adaptor options and hardware, a hughe plus.

it's pretty good

I purchased this mainly because it fit the previous opening exactly. The Stainless was an added benefit, it matched the cooktop. I liked the removable filters that are dishwasher safe. The fans speeds work great and the built in light is great too. The clock lacks the ability to keep time well, it sucks for accuracy. It looses several minutes in a weeks time and is the only downfall for this product.

Love the performance!

This has been a great range hood for our needs. We have a fairly large kitchen and the suction is perfect. I have cooked with garlic a few times since it was installed and there is absolutely no residual smell afterwards. It is a bit louder than I prefer but I will take the temporary noise any day over a kitchen that smells like the food I cooked hours ago. Would definitely recommend it to others.

Time will tell, but, for now, well pleased.

I just installed my new range hood with rigid duct extending about 5 feet vertically, and upon simple testing I feel it will live up to what is described in the specs. Very powerful on the highest setting, and still a good amount of suction on the lowest setting. I was looking for something more powerful than the options available at the big box stores, and this unit definitely fits the bill. In addition, the 22" depth is something I couldn't find at the stores. It doesn't make sense to me to have a range hood that covers only 1/2 of the stove top (especially units that have only 400 CFM of power or less). Most stove tops have their power burners in the front, so hoods that cover only the back two burners, combined with insufficient suction, are just a waste of money to me. The noise level on this unit is obviously loud on the highest setting, but nothing out of the ordinary on mid and lower settings. That being said, if you need to use the highest setting, you wouldn't need to for very long since at 850 CFM it would exhaust the air pretty quickly (depending on the size of your kitchen). I like the timer option, which ranges from 1-15 minutes. The lights provide more than ample visibility of on both low and high settings. The only knock I have at this time (and it is very minor) is that having to press the power button before controlling the fan and lights is an extra step that I find unnecessary. The unit displays only the time until the power button is pressed. Once pressed all the controls become available. I think it would be better if the controls were simply available at all times. I understand the minimalistic appearance with just the time displayed, but it's not like the other controls make the unit look ugly. Overall, I am well pleased with this unit. As mentioned in my review title, time will tell if it is durable and worthy of keeping my 5 star rating. I hope it is.
