I really do like this product. However to whoever designed this website, you failed to mention these vent hoods are designed for 12” cabinets. I have a 14” cabinet over my range. I was able to make it work and it looks real nice but I wish I knew this before I bought it.
I bought this unit to replace my microwave above-the-range cooktop. I find the installation with the horizontal vent to be very difficult and flawed. The adapter is too short! It didn't cover the entire opening on the back of the range hood. It's wide enough to cover the opening horizontally but not long enough to cover the bottom of the opening. There is an inch gap at the bottom of the opening. I can see the duct and the adapter after I mount it on the cabinet. How they could not make the back adapter big enough to cover the entire opening, I don't understand.
I watched many videos of rangehood installation, and it looks like the adapters for the top opening cover entirely without any gap.
We were looking to replace our over-the-range non-vented microwave as it was very ineffective in removing odors and smoke from the kitchen. After doing a lot of online research, we ultimately selected Hauslane and decided upon the UC-PS18 30in stainless steel model.
The installation of the hood was straightforward; even venting to the outside was not as bad as we thought it was going to be.
We have been using the hood for about a month now and let me just say that this hood is a beast! The suction on the hood is remarkable. No more odors or smoke in the kitchen. No more opening windows and lighting candles for the smell.
What a transformation! I wished we would have purchased this hood sooner.
We love the sleek design and 6 settings for the fan. I was a little worried about the fan being loud when set to the highest setting, but it is not as noisy as some reviews claim it to be. In fact, it’s really not as loud as our old over-the-range microwave.
We just installed this hood and it was pretty straightforward. The lighting over the range top is good and the suction power of the hood seems great. At normal use speeds the noise level is good. At high speeds it becomes a bit noisy, but this also provides more suction than typically needed. We like the stainless steel finish and operation panel, which is easy to clean. We look forward to many years of use.
