Installation took some time with a few minor cabinet adjustments. Noise level is good, and suction power is great. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase, especially at the price point. It had far exceeded my expectations and looks as good if not better than the similarly sized samsung model I was going with originally, all at 1/3 the price.
I have had this hood installed for the last couple of months now and just love it! It is very quiet and with its two fans has an amazing power to suck up cooking smoke/smells.Believe it or not??the PS18 30" hood has an infra-red receiver and I noticed that one of my cabinet light remote was able to control the hood operations too!When I called Hauslane's amazing customer service, they said it is sold separately ??so I bought one and made me love the new hood even more!
Been looking for a replacement for the broken range hood for 6 months now. This one does not exactly fit correctly under my upper cabinet (the cabinet comes quite a ways out over the front edge of the hood) but I like the light and how well the suction works and am very glad to have a hood again. Would definitely recommend.
I did quite a bit of research before purchasing. I wanted a top quality, yet affordable hood, and this is it.Installation- 4 stars: the unit is not light, so a second person, or pre-cut support sticks are necessary. Also I used fine-thread bolts with fender washers and nylon lock nuts, rather than the supplied wood screws.Customer Service- 5+ stars: one grease baffle, and one light was damaged in shipping, so I emailed Hauslane and theysent me two more lights and two more baffles quickly, and didn't charge me anything!Performance- 5 stars: This unit has 6 speeds, and works great. The higher the speed the more noise, but it really works.I can fry fish on the stove, and not smell it in the kitchen on speed 6.I'm glad I did the research and found this unit for our new now. Our old home hand a cheap unit, and it didn't work well.
We replaced the overhead microwave with this hood. It is amazing. The light is nice and bright and the suction is very strong. It is a bit noisier than the vent on the microwave, but everything else makes up for it.
