We really enjoy the new kitchen hood. Coming from a non vented microwave recirculating fan to this beast is night and day. The lights are bright and the controls are easy to use.Installation is pretty tough if you don?? have a 6??vent already installed out of the roof and you may need to remove your stove in order to have 2 people install the hood in the cabinetry. May need to hire a pro for a proper install.
Quality, excellent value, with a couple of shortcomings

Replaced OTR microwave, and couldn't be happier. Great air flow, reasonably quiet, and obvious quality construction, with a commercial grade filter/grease trap.Only 3 gripes, 1 major, 2 minor (in order):1-Really, really, REALLY need a mounting hole template, and preferably on heavy paper. This thing is heavy, and the mounting holes are difficult to access from below. Furthermore, the mounting plate on top is thin, so if the holes in the shelf or cabinet bottom need to be enlarged or elongated, there's a good chance the metal will bend in, releasing the relatively small head screws and washers. I almost dropped it during installation because of this. Ended up using fender washers (which needed to be trimmed to clear the motor mounts in the back.... yuck!)2-Turning on the fan or lights requires turning on the unit first. That's 1 extra unnecessary step, IMO.3-Light dimming, or at least 2 levels of brightness would have been a great feature.The unit has only been in use for couple of months, but I have confidence in the apparent durability. In spite of the above, I gave the product 5 stars because I consider the quality and value to be overriding.
Easy to install. Dropped right in to replace my old broken 30" hood. I bought it because it bad a rear exhaust option. Beat part is the LED lights, that provide nice bright illumination to the range below. Fan has lots of sped adjustments, and works great too! Best kitchen upgrade I have done ever! A quality unit.
Looks good, works as expected. Expected better engineering. Clock not accurate; have to power on, then clock, then adjust speed down to desired low noise level. Installation was a pain. (Had to move wiring from prior good, then hold hood in place to secure.)
