Bought this hood to replace the monster microwave over the stove and it is fantastic. Definitely sucks the smoke out and the fan isn't too loud. Would totally recommend and would buy another one for the next property my wife and I purchase.
I consider myself to be pretty handy when it comes to installing minor appliances. However, I found this next to impossible to install and finally gave up. The rear holes are nearly impossible to reach to secure the unit to the cabinets. Perhaps it would be easier if this was a new kitchen installation or if you could move the range out of the way but this was being installed over an existing cooktop. I am remodeling the kitchen in another home that I own and will have a professional install this unit. I did plug the unit in and check the lights and fan settings and it does seem to a nice exhaust hood. It is however, a little louder than I anticipated except for the lowest speed setting.
Fan is installed and working great after a rough start. Received unit with Right LED light not working. Sent email to the team but got no response. Waited a few days decided to search for problem myself. Found a loose connector wire on the right LED harness. Seated the wire and put unit back together and worked fine. The unit works as expected now and matches my stove perfectly.
