Have now had thisrange hood for about 6months and it's fabulous! I was worried about levelof noise and yes you're definitely going to hear it when you have it on the high levels but it works so well to eliminate smoke and odors, and as someone who enjoys cooking that's what you need. On lower levels noise is minimal. Also love the fact you can put the easily removable vents in the dishwasher. Lights are perfect and you can use them without the fan. My only teeny complaint would be the touch pad shows all the fingerprints and any oils..also have to be very mindful when wiping touchpad clean as it scratches easily. But other than that an excellent product!!!
High quality product with nice features such as a clock, timer, LED lights and multi-level fan. The unit was very heavy and, as you said, two people were needed for installation. It was extremely difficult to get in all the screws because it was over a cooktop, not a stove that could be pulled out. Also, regarding its sharp corners—they will get you if you're not really careful. This over-the-stove vent juts out further than my previous fan so, to me, it is a kitchen hazard. Suppose I will get used to it, but for now I put some double-sided picture-mounting sticky patches on the corners to hopefully cushion the inevitable blows to my head.
kitchen hoods are installed under the upper cabinets, right above the cooking range. They are more compact compared with wall-mount and island-mount hoods, therefore more suitable for kitchens with limited space.
Also, they often have a ductless design so their installation is straightforward and normally doesn’t call for professional help.
It pulls the smoke and oil out of the house nicely. The only issue were during the installation to attach the range hood to the 4 screws from the bottom of the cabinet were very difficult. Once in, it works well.
My family cooks a lot and we were having the OTR Microwave range hood. This hood is 3 times more powerful than my Microwave OTR hood. With the old one, the whole house smells food when some is cooking and now no one in the house smells anything. It has the power that I was looking.
