As other reviews stated, this is HEAVY. Doable, but it needs to be factored in. Absolutely should have two people to install.Not quiet but very efficient. The lowest suction is better than a conventional vent. The single disappointment, though maybe not really that important, is that there is only one light level. I have actually never seen another vent with only one light brightness and no variation.In terms of the essential, though, it is a great appliance.
The range hood has great suction power, the noise level really is based on the level of suction you choose. It can be noisy at the highest level. I really like the delay stop option!
Product came with one of the fan scratched the power line when spinning. I adjusted the position of the line and currently runs well. Other than that, it is good,
DIY installation was not too complex but, does require an extra set of hands and some mechanical/electrical experience. I bought this unit for the looks and suction power and so far has delivered on both.
We bought this to replace an old vent. The noise level is the same as any other vents. We loved the control panel. It?? very easy to use. The suctioning works great. We don?? smell anything after we cooked. The quality of the vent is good. We??e glad we bought this.
