Solid Product, Make Sure it Works for You

Overall good vent fan, solid construction and heavy duty dual fan motors and blades. The hood does indeed move alot of air, and is relatively quiet considering the significantly increased air movement over a standard unit. Unit was extremely well packaged. Here are the considerations when choosing to purchase:1. If you need to use the rear exhaust option, beware that the adapter piece requires a couple of inches to make the transition from a longer narrower rectangle to the standard rectangular size. In my installation i was not able to use the adapter and instead needed to change out the wall vent to a damper unit, and just direct couple the hood to the wall fitting.2. The stainless steel is 400 series which is a lower grade that 300 series. This only becomes important if you are trying to match the hood to a high end stove that is made from 300 series non-magnetic stainless steel. 400 series tends to have a bluish tint while 300 is more of a yellowish tint.3. The Tats is longer that the average home unit, about 4-5 inches. For me that was an advantage as it covers the stove better.4. The unit I received was produced in July 2017 but had halogen lights. I swapped them for LED but i do get some flicker on the low setting, but fine on the high setting. The unit seemed to be advertised as containing LED lights.5. There is a big sticky label on the side of the vent which takes significant effort to remove. I cant imagine why they chose to stick it there with hyper-aggressive adhesive but they did. Time for the Goof-Off.For the money I consider this unit a good value, it does seem well made and solid, and I am happy with it.
The power on the fan is good and the auto-off feature is convenient. It looks pretty good with the all-stainless appliances installed in my new kitchen. My mother-in-law and wife do most of the cooking, and they both like it.
It took contractor and me half a day to try and fit a 6 in pipe on 6 in outlet of hood and install. We needed to get an additional piece to transition into pipe, as 6 inches in China apparently doesn't fit into a 6in pipe here. However, once that is achieved, the hood fits the 12 in deep cabinet perfectly, which is one reason we bought it. The fans and 6 levels of power seem nice but might be overkill as not a lot of difference between adjacent adjustments. Owners manual leaves stuff out. You cannot hard wire and need to make or use an outlet, though manual shows hard wiring and no plug. The grease pan is found in box but isn't mentioned in manual. Tape on all parts to protect on shipping need removed. Stuff like that. I have not used the fan in my home yet as we are remodeling, but it looks nice and fits wonderfully and seems to pull air in house. If they fixed the fittings for 6 in install and manual, it would be greatly improved. 2 yr warranty should be adequate I hope. Also, I hope the fan is as strong as advertised at 800 cfm because they are pretty quiet for that strength. Seems to be nice product at this early juncture.
Just install and use the hood in the last 3 days. It is very high quality heavy stainless still material. It is much more powerful quite compare to my old 800 CFM Pacific hood. I like second lowest speed better because the lowest once there is little motor humming noise if i pay attention to it.I wish the hood line is LED instead of halogen.
I have been thrilled with this hood. The quality ...

I have been thrilled with this hood. The quality, the ease of installation, its bright lights and six speed fan really exceeded my expectations! It even has a clock and a timer!
Just installed it a few days ago, so far so good. The hood has a plug instead of hard wired. We had to make an outlet for it. We had the duct in the back and the adapter that it came with for the back is way too long for to go behind the wall. We modified it with the adapter that was for the top to make it work.
Amazing...quiet and strong suction ,the light so bright,very easy to install,i had PACIFIC AND SAKURA b4,after I 've this product,i never go back to any other brand.
