Good hood for the money
on June 5, 2020
Posted by: Husband, Dad, and N.
Pros:Great air movementNot too loud at highReplaceable lightsSolid designCons:Lower speed settings aren't quietIncluded LED lights are not greatLight fixtures are deeper than average lights, making replacements hard to findHeavy and awkward to install back two mountsReview:Looks great over my range and does a great job venting odor and smoke from the kitchen, just be sure to pop open a window to allow for airflow. At full tilt it is not terribly loud, which is truly impressive for the airflow. The terrible (for a fan) microwave that it replaced was louder and was pathetic for venting the kitchen. However, there is a big difference at the low setting. While yes the microwave basically didn't move anything at low, it was very quiet, this hood is not.At lowest setting it is quieter than high, but not by very much. I recorded the SPL at Off/Speed 1/Speed 6, see 2nd picture. It was taken about a 1 meter from the fans and I used a calibrated microphone. The average ambient was 42 dB, speed 1: 65 dB, and speed 6: 72 dB. 72 is a fine number at high, but 65 is not good for low.Speaking of the microwave (typical GE over-the-range model), it was actually LIGHTER than this thing. Yes it is that hefty, which indicates the quality of materials, but it makes for a sore back post installation. The installation is further made worse by the back two screw holes being REALLY hard to get to. You need a long screwdriver, even the extension on my drill/driver wasn't enough to reach it. In the end I came up with installing the front two screws without the hood, hook the hood on the front two and have a 2nd person stabilize while you mostly tighten the front two. Then install the back two with the hood mostly stable.The last part of my review I want to discuss the hood lights. The pre-installed lights are 2700K (soft-white) 20W equivalent and fairly narrow beam (30 degrees would be my guess). Needless to say they aren't great. To compound the issue in my case, my kitchen runs 5000K (daylight) high wattage LEDs all around, so these stick out really bad. I went looking for suitable replacements, and started at my local orange home improvement superstore. They had the kind of bulbs I was looking for (4th picture), but to my surprise they didn't fit! They were the right size MR16, and base GU10, but they were too short to be able to twist in the socket (see picture 3 for included bulb). I eventually went digging all around the internet, and found some that worked, just barely. I'm not going to link them, because I'm not entirely happy with them either. They are much brighter, wider, and 5000K so good enough, and they are included in picture 1.

Nice hood.
on September 1, 2017

Just installed it a few days ago, so far so good. The hood has a plug instead of hard wired. We had to make an outlet for it. We had the duct in the back and the adapter that it came with for the back is way too long for to go behind the wall. We modified it with the adapter that was for the top to make it work.

Could use improvement.

Nice unit. Installed ok except for the baffle unit (Top, round outlet). No instruction what so ever regard this piece. There are two rubber pieces that need to be removed and replaced AFTER you lay the baffle unit in place. There are also two rubber feet (in hindsight, I think there are supposed to be three) around the circumference of the round outlet that is supposed to keep the baffle from falling into the fan. They are useless. After several R&R of the complete unit, I am done. I will put up with the baffle hitting the fan as the fan starts and stops.

Decent Range Hood
on January 1, 2020
Posted by: triplespeed
We purchased this outdoor-venting range hood to replace an aging indoor-venting ductless range hood in our home. The stainless steel build quality is very good/sturdy and the noise levels are acceptable. Installation was a bit of a chore since we had to create a vent to the outside of our home, but I'm glad that we did because the Hauslane range hood has dramatically improved the air flow in our kitchen. Having said that, I was expecting a bit more suction from this unit but it works way better than our old ductless range hood. The LED lights are great! The touch panel is a little tricky to use at times, requiring multiple touches in just the right spots to set the clock or turn-on the lights/fans. Overall we are pleased with this Hauslane product.

FANTASTIC!!!!!!
on February 17, 2019
Posted by: R. M.
Recently had it installed by my contractor and he said it was very easy and the instructions were well written. I probably could of done it myself but he was doing my kitchen over anyway so he installed it in like 15 minutes. The exhaust is twice as strong as my old one, and very quiet. I love the new version of this fixture because it now comes with LED lights. They can't be dimmed but who cares they are LED's. The bulbs can be bought anywhere if and when they burn out. The filters are stainless steel and this was very important to me because the stove fire we had melted my previous one because the frames of the filters were made out of plastic. That was one of the most important features and along with the great reviews that made me purchase this. It looks stunning, but I must say if you are very Tall you may hit your head on the corners of the hood because it comes out about 2 inches more than my previous one did. My contractor who is 6"1" hit his head, and I did once but now I don't bend into the cooking area as far and It hasn't happened again. (you only have to do it once and you become pre-destined, you won't do it again trust me) . My wife who is 5'3" has never even come close to the corners, only us tall folks 5'10" and taller have to be careful. But the larger hood surface must really help in the exhaust capabilities so its worth it. I must say I couldn't be more pleased with this Hauslane Range Hood. Also when I called about the lights the customer support was super helpful and kind. Worth every one of the five stars!!!!!
