Excellent range hood however horizontal vent option took me some extra time

Overall it is an excellent range hood, a big step up from what I used to have. Decent CFM and modern design. It offers 3 venting options, vertical round, vertical square and horizontal square. And the horizontal square venting option is exactly why I choose this one because I want to utilize the 3 by 10 vent hole on my wall from the old range hood. However it took me some extra time to install since the horizontal vent adapter has a transition from the hood exhaust outlet (bigger than 3 by 10) to 3 by 10 vent so it couldn't be inserted into the vent hole on the wall with zero gap between the back of range hood and the wall, which made the range hood stick out a little bit more than expected. I guess the transition was there to improve the flow and I don't want to make adjustment on the exhaust hole I already had on the wall. So as a result, I drilled additional screw holes on the hood in order to hang it than using pre drilled screw holes on the range hood.Another improvement that I made was adding a "hand-crafted" gasket between the horizontal vent adapter and the hood itself. As I noticed there was a rubber gasket on the vertical vent of the hood however there was no gasket if horizontal vent was chosen. So I made one gasket from rubber sheet and attached it. I'm not blaming the seller since not many people use the horizontal vent but it would be nice to include one for that option. Over all it is a decent range hood.
We like the product. It works very well with all the touchsceeen buttons and it is very easy to clean. However, it is still pretty loud but not as loud as our old one.
I love the fact that this hood provides all kinds of installation options for the users. I have installed many brands of range hoods and know of none other brands do such a thing. The hood is somewhat heavy. I did not use the screws provided and instead used bolt to hold it in place for easier installation. To screw this thing onto the bottom of the cabinet is awkward and challenging. Most cabinet will require extra pieces of woods to build up for the screws.The power cord should locate more toward the center instead of the edge. Otherwise decent product.
The quality of hood is really awesome. It sucks up all the fumes released during the cooking process. I can clearly see the difference in the air quality since after installing this hood my kitchen no longer has the cooking smell or fumes. Earlier with the old hood it used to fume my kitchen even with light cooking, but no longer after this. My only challenge was with installation of this hood since it?? too heavy and also because I was a novice in this installation.Calvin has been very prompt in replies. I had a problem after my initial installation since the duct adapter that came with the hood was big enough leaving quite a bit of gap between wall and the hood. After I contacted the customer service. Calvin promptly replied and immediately sent me a new adapter which was smaller than previous one and that made the hood go flush with the wall. Now it looks perfect. I would definitely recommend this hood to anyone looking to upgrade their hoods.
