Finally got this fan installed and it works well and removes the smoke with ease. I do have 2 issues. The first one is that it’s just not as quite as I hoped for. Even on low there is a very annoying drone. The other issue is merely cosmetic. I checked for damage before I installed the fan and everything looked fine other than finger prints all over it from the factory or maybe it was unboxed before... After the final install I removed the plastic film over the touch screen and then noticed a 1/4 long scratch right under the screen that I couldn’t see because it was blocked by the film. It’s definitely an eyesore since it can easily be seen. It’s disappointing but things happen.
Beautiful looking appliance. High quality build and excellent performance. One complaint concerning installation - it is impossible to screw the two back screws in to the cabinet bottom. The holes are hard to reach and in trying to locate the two screw holes, I cut my hand several times trying to reach up in to the hood to locate them. Requires an extra long screwdriver which most households do not have.
Bought this about a month ago. This is the highest quality piece of appliance I’ve owned over the last 20 years. Construction is top notch in every way. It’s the only vent fan that installs in all three possible exhaust venting configurations. All metal construction. No cheap plastics. Very quiet, and very powerful. Lighting is good too.
We bought this in July & just got it installed. I'm glad we picked Hauslane and the PS18 unit. It is very quiet and vents very well. It is very attractive in the stainless steel model. I would highly recommend it if your looking for a vented range hood.
