Happy about my Purchase

I recently purchased the PS18 range hood and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The powerful suction of this range hood has made a noticeable difference in the freshness of my kitchen.
One of the things I love most about the PS18 is how quiet it is while in use. I've had other range hoods in the past that were so loud that I couldn't hold a conversation while cooking, but that's not a problem with the PS18. It's also easy to clean, which is a huge plus.
Overall, I'm very happy with the PS18 range hood and would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a new range hood for their kitchen. The powerful suction and quiet operation make it an excellent choice.
I was impressed by the packaging. Very clean and sophisticated. It's like opening a big iPhone box. Components were wrapped with white cling to protect chrome parts. Not a spec of dust inside the range hood. Really beautiful and easy to install. Very versatile ducting options. Kind of heavy but that's a good thing, built like a tank. Very strong suction, not as loud as people say it is. I would recommend this to anybody looking to replace their current range hood.
This Hauslane range hood is a beautiful and functional addition to our kitchen. The stainless steel finish complements our stove/range which is stainless steel with some black accents. I appreciate the LED lights--which provide plenty of illumination for cooking, and the exhaust which is quite effective at removing cooking odors and fumes.
Service from Hauslane has been friendly and efficient. When the first range hood arrived damaged I called Hauslane and, after sending them pictures of the damage they arranged that day for a replacement. The replacement unit arrived in perfect condition within a few days and my wife and I were able to complete installation in time to prepare our family's Thanksgiving meal.
I have only two criticisms: 1) the fan--even on the lowest setting--is still quite loud; 2) there were no instructions on how to re-route the electrical through the rear instead of top and direct wire the unit. We were able to do it because I already have knowledge in this area and a father-in-law with 40 years of HVAC experience but it would have been nice to have some printed instructions.
Overall, we are very pleased with the look and operation of this range hood and we expect to get many years of service from it.
Well made fan. Does an excellent job with cooking odours and is relatively quiet at low speeds. It is noisier at higher speeds however you really don't need to use the high speeds as it does the job at the lowest speeds,Comes with everything you need and buying experience was smooth and fast. Regretably, as reported by many others for some time, it still does not come with an install template which one would think would be an easy thing for Hauslane to add. Comes with very light duty install screws which like many others, I switched to heavier duty bolts. With a few improvements to the install, I would happily give this fan a five star rating.
Fan noise at speed level 1-2 is acceptable but at 3 and beyond it is highly noisy. Looking at 'Sones' numbers etc hardly tell you how it would sound to your ears until you turn this unit on. I am sure there are better vent hoods with better suction but lower noise. You may have to pay more, though. Over all it looks sleek and well designed. This unit is lacking on noise level.
We love it! Our old hood was not working well and just cooking on stove would set off the smoke alarms. Now I can cook and not worry about the alarms going off .
