Totally Amazed!
on November 29, 2024
Posted by: Chen
I am totally amazed by the PS38.
I only had it for 4 days so far, so this is a first impression review, and I can't comment on the longevity of the unit. My impression with the initial 4 day of use is WOW, I wish I had it years ago. (This unit was to replace a microwave/vent combo over an electric stove. The duct was put in place during the installation.)
Here are a few things that I wish could be different.
1. I wish the unit came with a template clearly marking where to cut holes. While the duct area is easy to handle, the cord location is not as easy to measure. With one of the four screws being so close to the cord, I wish the template would give me the exact location to make a hole. We ended up cutting a hole a bit too far from the edge, thus resulting in the screw not being able to be screwed into the cabinet.
2. I wish I had known that the water tray for steam cleaning needs to go all the way to the wall for it to function. I was going to tile the backsplash all the way up to the range hood, but then I won't be able to use the steam cleaning. Our current plan is to install an 8-inch stainless backsplash between the tile and range hood. This is not done yet, so I am not sure about the aesthetics.
3. The stainless steel gets dirty easily, much easier than my refrigerator and dishwasher.

With the cons out of the way, here is how the unit amazed me.
Suction power: 3 days after the installation came the Thanksgivings. Baking turkey at 450F generates a lot of grease and smoke, and in previous years, the smell of turkey would linger in the house for days. I upped the range hood to 4 (it was set at 1 while I was making other dishes) before opening the oven door. The huge cloud of white smoke rushed out of the oven, and went out of the house almost instantly. I saw a huge white cloud right outside of my kitchen window! I was in awe and was totally sold on this range hood. Today I am making soup with the leftover turkey and had it simmering on the stove for hours. I set the range hood to 1. There was no smell in the house at all.
Noise level: level 1 registers about 40db, very similar to my Miele dishwasher while running. I had it on for hours today and it didn't bother the family at all. At level 2, it's about 50db. I imagine using this level mostly during day to day cooking. I don't think it's loud, I can listen to books or have conversations while it's on. Level 4 and above is quite loud (60+db, level 6 at 69db), loud enough that we can not carry on conversations across the big kitchen.
Self cleaning: I ran the self steam clean the day it was installed. It took 3 minutes and the water was nearly clear and there was no trace of grease, as expected. Today I noticed quite a bit of grease on the cover of the fans and ran the steam clean again. While the cover is still greasy (I may have to unscrew the cover and clean it every few months), the disposed water was quite greasy. Without reading much about the cleaning, I assumed it cleaned the fan blades which are not accessible during normal cleaning.
Light bulbs: The 2 light bulbs that came with the unit are bright, but they are 2700K. I swapped them out with 4000k bulbs to match with my other lighting. The light bulbs are easy and cheap to replace.

High quality, Silent, Great Suction
on November 18, 2024
Posted by: aresguy
We first bought and installed an GE Profile range hood, which was not much different in pricing. The quality on the GE hood was appalling! We switched to Hauslane UC-PS38 and the difference as night and day! Right away we could tell this unit was high quality, solid and heavy with all metal parts. Installation was fairly simple, provided you have a way to lift the hood and keep it in place (I used stacks of big boxes, plywood and a car jack!). The unit runs much quieter than all competitor units we tried, when used in the 3 lower setting. Suction is more than adequate in the lower 3 setting itself. Suction coverage is also much better than all other hoods in this price range, it covers the front of the range and both sides quite well. It is also easily the best looking hood that we tried.

Efficient Hood
on November 13, 2024
Posted by: RP1989
I have been using Chef Series Range Hood 30" PS38 PRO PERFORMANCE Stainless Steel Slim Under Cabinet Range Hood Design for 2 years, and I am happy with the product performance most of the part; however, some of the parts that was shipped to me use not of great quality. Especially, the tray for auto clean that came with the product cracked after 1-2 usages. This is made of cheap plastic, and needs to be improved. I am happy when the responsive team at Hauslane as they care about the customer. I have no doubt the Hauslane team can better design this part as well.

Brought this range 12/2021 and it is great! Easy to use and clean yet powerful enough to clear any odor. Only recently, couldnt clean the fan covers anymore so needed to replace it. Highly recommended

Great features and looks amazing!

I bought this hood a over 3 years ago to replace my old one and this has been one of the best purchased I have done on my house. It has great suction power and the self-cleaning feature is great! I use the self-cleaning feature two to three times a month because my family loves to cook! I do take it all apart once every 6 months for a deep cleaning including my ductwork.

Great hood vent. Real good suction.
on October 14, 2024
Posted by: Julian D.
This is an awesome range hood vent. Very powerful. Had great suction as you can see all the steam from the food you cook go right into it. The self cleaning feature seems to be nice as well. I could not install this myself so had a friend help out since it is quite heavy. But once installed , I am in love with it.
