Vent this outside and keep your indoor air clean!
on June 6, 2020

The exhaust fan is plenty powerful, l hired a handyman for the installation. There is one complaint that I have, the exhaust hood has a clock and it will not keep time accurately. A shame they couldn?? have used a better clock.

Good hood for the money
on June 5, 2020
Posted by: Husband, Dad, and N.
Pros:Great air movementNot too loud at highReplaceable lightsSolid designCons:Lower speed settings aren't quietIncluded LED lights are not greatLight fixtures are deeper than average lights, making replacements hard to findHeavy and awkward to install back two mountsReview:Looks great over my range and does a great job venting odor and smoke from the kitchen, just be sure to pop open a window to allow for airflow. At full tilt it is not terribly loud, which is truly impressive for the airflow. The terrible (for a fan) microwave that it replaced was louder and was pathetic for venting the kitchen. However, there is a big difference at the low setting. While yes the microwave basically didn't move anything at low, it was very quiet, this hood is not.At lowest setting it is quieter than high, but not by very much. I recorded the SPL at Off/Speed 1/Speed 6, see 2nd picture. It was taken about a 1 meter from the fans and I used a calibrated microphone. The average ambient was 42 dB, speed 1: 65 dB, and speed 6: 72 dB. 72 is a fine number at high, but 65 is not good for low.Speaking of the microwave (typical GE over-the-range model), it was actually LIGHTER than this thing. Yes it is that hefty, which indicates the quality of materials, but it makes for a sore back post installation. The installation is further made worse by the back two screw holes being REALLY hard to get to. You need a long screwdriver, even the extension on my drill/driver wasn't enough to reach it. In the end I came up with installing the front two screws without the hood, hook the hood on the front two and have a 2nd person stabilize while you mostly tighten the front two. Then install the back two with the hood mostly stable.The last part of my review I want to discuss the hood lights. The pre-installed lights are 2700K (soft-white) 20W equivalent and fairly narrow beam (30 degrees would be my guess). Needless to say they aren't great. To compound the issue in my case, my kitchen runs 5000K (daylight) high wattage LEDs all around, so these stick out really bad. I went looking for suitable replacements, and started at my local orange home improvement superstore. They had the kind of bulbs I was looking for (4th picture), but to my surprise they didn't fit! They were the right size MR16, and base GU10, but they were too short to be able to twist in the socket (see picture 3 for included bulb). I eventually went digging all around the internet, and found some that worked, just barely. I'm not going to link them, because I'm not entirely happy with them either. They are much brighter, wider, and 5000K so good enough, and they are included in picture 1.

A very good system which needs better installation instructions
on June 2, 2020
Posted by: Ram
I bought this system after comparing many systems through different web sites. I am very happy with the system (1 week after installation). The vent is pretty good in removing the fumes and looks pretty sharp in the the kitchen. Overall 5 stars even if the installation was sort of not so straightforward as the manual will make you believe it to be. Nevertheless, it can be done if you are a do-it-your self type of person with the right tools at home.The installation instructions are bare bones and not helpful when you run into problems. Best to watch lots of YouTube videos to get an idea if you want to do it by yourself.1) The unit, though not very heavy, becomes very heavy when you do not have good support and are trying to do it alone after some time. You have to have another person helping you or it becomes a chore. Accessing the back screws for installation is extremely difficult (but there is a work around - see point 4 below).2) Prepare a lay-out of the holes based on a template you can prepare by placing a sheet of paper on the back of the hood. Then pre-drill the holes on to your kitchen cabinet using this template. This makes life a lot easier when you are trying to put in the screws.3) As instructed, put in the front screws first. They are relatively easy to access (even with the cooking range in place). Just remember that the longer you are bending and cramming your neck/back the more fatigue can set in. So definitely use a support (jacks or buckets with planks - there are plenty of YouTube videos to give general tips and guidance). Putting the front Screws in place holds the range in place and allows you to work on the back screws.4) This is where accessing the back screw slots becomes a painful chore. They are recessed in such a way that they are slightly over the fan-housing and I found it best to remove the cooking range (if you can safely). With space freed up and having direct access from beneath the system (in almost a straight vertical line) allows easier access to the screws.5) Depending on the type of cabinet you have, you may find using the screw driver manually may be better than the drill - since slow movement gives better control. However, if you have predrilled holes then it is easier with the drill.6) Be forewarned (for older kitchen) that the rectangular vent can couple of inches off from the backside of the hole in the cabinet. My older kitchen cabinet had the hole flush with the back side and I had to cut couple of more inches to enlarge the hole in the cabinet to make sure the vent fits and sits flush when pushed all the way up. Therefore, measure before you begin.It was a good experience installing this unit. And in the end, a very good unit that has much improved performance over the older unit we had for 15 years. The lights are bright (no dimmer controls, just on/off). Other controls are straight forward and easy to use.We look forward to seeing how much the new baffle filters work - not enough time to test their effectiveness.The noise level is acceptable for a range this size and CFM - but can be loud for some. You get used to it over time.
