Nice unit
on May 25, 2018
Posted by: Doug
This is a really nice hood. It looks great and has good functionality, including 6 fan speeds, LED lights, clock and delay timer (so you can set the fan to turn off automatically). It is relatively quiet on the lower speed settings; the top 3 settings are louder, but also move a lot of air.This replaced a 42 year old GE hood that finally stopped working recently. I am glad I decided to go with this unit. As recommended, I plugged it in and checked that all the controls were working before installing. Installation took several hours. The instruction manual is pretty minimalistic, but if you know what you are doing you can install it yourself. I had to pick up a few items for the installation (a section of 3-? x 10 aluminum duct to connect the vertical outlet to my existing ductwork, aluminum duct tape, some hex head 2??#12 screws and a 6??driver extension for my drill). The rectangular vertical duct adapter supplied with the unit is too short in my opinion (the duct only extends about 1??above the top of the hood ??so it does not stick out above the bottom of the upper cabinet when installed; the mounting screws are also about ???too short). I cut the power cord, removed the strain relief, and opened up the auxilliary electrical connection hole on the back of the unit to enable a direct connection to the existing wiring in my wall.I used a car jack with several blocks of wood to raise the hood into place with a ~4??duct extension pre-attached (see photo). It was tricky to get the new duct extension to slide over the end of the existing duct. I trimmed the edges of the aluminum ??lapper??on the rectangular duct adapter so they wouldn?? catch on the old duct ends after installation. I needed help from my wife to get the wood blocks and jack in place once I hoisted the unit into position. I?? afraid some bad words were said after I struggled several times to reach up under the hood with an electric screwdriver to drive the retaining screws in place. I ended up nixing the back two screws in favor of putting one through the back of the unit into a wall stud, which was much easier and totally solid. Once installed, it worked like a dream. A dimmer on the control panel would have been nice, as would dual brightness levels on the lights. The little ding they unit makes every time you touch a button on the control panel gets old pretty quickly. Also, the control panel surface is plastic, not glass (which would have been better).

The fan works great. It is quiet as I expected. I got the second one and they are both worth $

The fan works great. It is quiet as I expected. I installed with the top air duct connection maybe that helps the air flow. No bad smell in the kitchen after all. I only don't like is the hole plan was missing in the box so I have to measure and make a hole plan so I can drill holes precisely. Lucky I had no mistake. The metal filters have 2 colors, I guess the outside part looks better then it is OK, I hope the inside part wont rush after a while. After 2 years, It still working well, so I bought again for my other family member.

Beautiful and powerful range hood with 6 speeds and LED lights. It is heavy but installation is not hard at all, need to use the car jack. I have to remove the filter and the fan cover to install it.

Best kitchen exhaust hood ever.

This hood is stylish, but more important - efficient. Has several speeds not just two, like other brands. It's the best I have owned. Glad I bought it.

This hood is absolutely the best addition to our kitchen!
on March 29, 2018

?I often don't feel like writing reviews because of laziness, but I had to write one for this. Normally, I take negative reviews into high consideration because people complain more than then compliment and I want to hear people's issue about products. With that said read the negative reviews all you want, for this unit, but trust the majority. This unit has been my best friend. I have an electric stove so the burners often smoke because of dropped or spilled oil or food. This has always left my house smelling like burnt toast.We rarely go out to dinner so most of our meals are home cooked . From burgers, bacon, fish, fried chicken, steak, our stove is usually pretty active, leaving the house smelling like what was cook days after we finished. So far I've made fried chicken, a full breakfast, and pan seared salmon. Outside smells like a restaurant and the inside has a faint smell of food. When frying food or just making something small the number 2-3 setting is perfect. When searing food, I turned it up to the max, just to be sure the house didn't get smokey.With that said...Here's the complaints...The only physical problem with this hood is the metallic smell, maybe because it's new. Other than that, this hood requires 6 inch duct. Working with the 6 inch duct was the hardest part because I went through the cabinet rather the ceiling or above the cabinet. You probably will have to do some improvising when installing your duct work. HVAC tape is your friend, and you'll need a good friend to help you fit the unit properly. After installing everything, I tested it out and it worked amazingly. It's not the most quiet hood, but I didn't think it would whisper pumping out that much air. Lets just say it does its job and for the price, it does it very well.

Excellent product

Excellent product, really enjoying it. Comparing to the old range hood I replaced, this one is much powerful and quieter, installation took some effort but not as bad as some earlier comments described.

Quiet, powerful, and bright
on February 11, 2018
Posted by: N. W.
This unit is reasonably quiet and moves a lot of air. Mine came with halogen bulbs, which I swapped out for LEDs, and the lighting is now wonderfully bright. My only minor complaint is that with wet fingers, the touch screen controls don't always respond on the first try. Assembly was not too difficulty, but I needed to buy a rather long screwdriver extension to get it attached.
