I decided I could install this unit myself. I thought directions were quite clear. As usual - measure twice and install once. I had to cut openings for the external exhaust duct. My only issue with this hood is the location of the two rear attachment points. The clearance around them is tight and hard to see when installing the lag screws. I purchased lag screws so I had a hex head to use with a socket. Easier than trying to use a screw driver. Fortunately I had all necessary tools to perform this installation. I also would prefer that the lights could be dimmed as I had seen in other reviews. I do not find the noise of the fans even on high to be unacceptable. Overall product seems to be well made. Now to use it and see how it does with exhausting fumes.
Just installed our new Hauslane UC-PS18 hood and we are enjoying right away the power of this baby, leaving no odor in the kitchen and the house...we live in a one-story house and before we had to wait a couple of days to get rid of strong Chinese style and delicious food, now the air is fresh in minutes after we are done with cooking. Great product so far!
The stainless steel black is complimentary to my black Samsung range. We have used all six levels of fan speed and three handles all our venting needs when cooking. Auto off setting is very handy
