Works well, Difficult to clean. Beeps too much.

Pros:
The Hauslane WM-530SS 30P looks good, installed easily (for a remodel carpenter), is powerful for serious cooking, gives warm but sufficient yellow light, and the grease filters are easy to clean with degreaser and sink sprayer.
Cons:
1. The blower assembly gets funky and moldy in the summer time during standard use, and is impossible to dismount or deep clean without completely uninstalling the hood assembly. Better design could enable standard maintenance/cleaning by the owner, same as grease filters. At minimum, Hauslane should include a diagram or manual for cleaning the blower assembly.
2. Grease filters are flimsy and easily bent when disassembled for deep cleaning.
3. Grease filter easily tumbles out of seat and hand, if you don’t train yourself how to dismount safely. Could damage it, your cooktop, or your toe on the first attempt.
4. Grease filter lock mechanism is plasticky and seems likely to break after some time of standard use. Also has a lot of concealed crannies that accumulate grease during standard use, requiring disassembly to clean.
5. The circuit board housing and wiring is scattered throughout the inside of the hood area, and gets coated in grease during standard use. It’s all too awkward to regularly clean. Better design could place most of this on top of the hood unit (behind flue trim), and keep wiring in the hood space neat and visible for regular inspection/cleaning.
6. Light bulb assemblies have no gasket or seal, so cooking fumes get sucked into the hood at the light assemblies, causing grease buildup on the back of the bulbs and inside the bulb housings. The housings are awkward or impossible to adequately clean when wiping down inside of the hood.
7. A loud ‘beap’ accompanies every button press. There is no volume control. My hack was to stuff a rice grain’s worth of fire caulk into the aperture of the beep mechanism soldered to the main circuit board. No more loud beep.

I bought this range hood about 2 months ago. Doing a full kitchen remodel. I looked at tons of hoods and kept coming back to this one for its looks and features. It looks beautiful in my new kitcken.

Great unit for my needs

I am a DIY person. I installed my unit. Followed all the directions and I had a flawless install. Thanks Hauslane.
My unit functions better than expected. My wife said she rarely has to go to speed two and we still have speed three. It absolutely sucks everything out. This unit is a very pretty install with stainless steel backsplash I installed. The lights are awesome. (To remove bulbs turn counterclockwise a 1/4 turn). If there was a negative about this unit it would be noise but for the cfm it sucks the noise is very acceptable. Is expensive but in my opinion well worth it.

Money well spent

I purchased this unit with high expectations and brother it surpassed my expectations in every category. Installation I am a diy guy and the directions were spot on. Due to installing a backsplash it took a little more time. Wife loves the total project especially this unit. The power inception, lights are excellent and the looks stand second to none. My unit requires 6" duct and the unit moved more air than expected. Will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a range hood.

We bought this quite a while ago, trying to do this on our own and made the investment into this hood for our kitchen. It took us months to finally get to the point we were able to have it installed and we love it. The look, the ease of controls - I haven’t cooked with it yet because we aren’t moved in, but I love it.

Eliminates cooking smell and the smoke. Hauslane was recommended by a friend after he saw our initial setup. I immediately put in an order for Hauslane wm-530-pro. It’s been about two weeks since I’ve been using it and it has exceeded my expectations.

Great Hood

It is a beautiful hood. My contractor had no issues installing it.
I have been enjoying it for a week now, but today I hear a little noise when I turn it off. I hope we can figure out what is causing it to do so.

Pretty good range hood.

I have it working for a month now, so far does the job, it is loud, but it's expected. Design is minimalistic, comfortable touch speed controls, good lighting. My previous hood, from different company, was loud as well, so no complains on that. I cook every day, so it is used quiet a lot and I hope it will do the job for at least 10 years, as was my old one.
