I recently purchased this unit. I used it quite a bit for Thanksgiving meals. The exhaust fan worked so much better than my previous unit that I had. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking of purchasing one for their use.
It’s everything I expected! Save for lifting it into place, I was able to do the work myself. I would not recommend that a novice for the project. The only disappointment was that the instructions called for a one inch hole for the plug. Nope, too small. I hope the design team edits that, because it really sucks to get there and it does not pass through. A 1 1/2 in. hole is necessary. Otherwise it’s amazing! Cooking game changer!
I purchased my HAUSLANE PS 18-36 hood fan a few years ago. I am extremely happy with it and would recommend it to anyone It is a very good looking unit and very easy to operate. Its extracting/ventilating ability is exceptional and there are never any odors wafting through the house when I’m cooking. I appreciate the fact that you can put the grates in the dishwasher for cleaning. All of its functions are very user-friendly and the LED lights provide really good visibility to the countertop.
We replaced the microwave mounted above our stove with this range hood for the higher CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) air flow to help eliminate cooking smells. The microwave didn't have a very strong fan so this range hood provides 850 CFM. It is great that the fan turns on with the last setting we used. We also really love that we can press the clock and it will start a countdown before it turns off so we can move on to plating our food and eating and not have to go back to turn the range hood off.
We installed this unit last night. Installation was a beast. Directions could have been better. But the unit itself is pretty awesome. I was nervous after all of the complaints about noise. But when you want to move that kind of air, you have to expect some noise.. I would not call this fan ridiculously noisy.
