Beautiful, functional, quiet….

Bought this to replace an under cabinet microwave. Product is both stylish and functional. Installed it myself after watching several videos. Went in just like the instructions said. The only issue was more of a user error or lack of understanding. The depth of the cabinet directly over the hood was deeper than the install depth of the hood. Rather than have it 1.5 inches off the back wall I chose to have it back 1.5 inches from the front of the overhead cabinet. Sides were the correct depth. A little creative trim and paint ant it will look built in perfect. Un-trimmed photo is attached. Very happy with my decision.

I love the sleek design of this range hood and it is a perfect fit for my stove and cabinets. The suction power is strong enough to fit our cooking style (we stir fry a lot)! Control panel is very easy to use and clean as well.

Totally Amazed!

I am totally amazed by the PS38.
I only had it for 4 days so far, so this is a first impression review, and I can't comment on the longevity of the unit. My impression with the initial 4 day of use is WOW, I wish I had it years ago. (This unit was to replace a microwave/vent combo over an electric stove. The duct was put in place during the installation.)
Here are a few things that I wish could be different.
1. I wish the unit came with a template clearly marking where to cut holes. While the duct area is easy to handle, the cord location is not as easy to measure. With one of the four screws being so close to the cord, I wish the template would give me the exact location to make a hole. We ended up cutting a hole a bit too far from the edge, thus resulting in the screw not being able to be screwed into the cabinet.
2. I wish I had known that the water tray for steam cleaning needs to go all the way to the wall for it to function. I was going to tile the backsplash all the way up to the range hood, but then I won't be able to use the steam cleaning. Our current plan is to install an 8-inch stainless backsplash between the tile and range hood. This is not done yet, so I am not sure about the aesthetics.
3. The stainless steel gets dirty easily, much easier than my refrigerator and dishwasher.

With the cons out of the way, here is how the unit amazed me.
Suction power: 3 days after the installation came the Thanksgivings. Baking turkey at 450F generates a lot of grease and smoke, and in previous years, the smell of turkey would linger in the house for days. I upped the range hood to 4 (it was set at 1 while I was making other dishes) before opening the oven door. The huge cloud of white smoke rushed out of the oven, and went out of the house almost instantly. I saw a huge white cloud right outside of my kitchen window! I was in awe and was totally sold on this range hood. Today I am making soup with the leftover turkey and had it simmering on the stove for hours. I set the range hood to 1. There was no smell in the house at all.
Noise level: level 1 registers about 40db, very similar to my Miele dishwasher while running. I had it on for hours today and it didn't bother the family at all. At level 2, it's about 50db. I imagine using this level mostly during day to day cooking. I don't think it's loud, I can listen to books or have conversations while it's on. Level 4 and above is quite loud (60+db, level 6 at 69db), loud enough that we can not carry on conversations across the big kitchen.
Self cleaning: I ran the self steam clean the day it was installed. It took 3 minutes and the water was nearly clear and there was no trace of grease, as expected. Today I noticed quite a bit of grease on the cover of the fans and ran the steam clean again. While the cover is still greasy (I may have to unscrew the cover and clean it every few months), the disposed water was quite greasy. Without reading much about the cleaning, I assumed it cleaned the fan blades which are not accessible during normal cleaning.
Light bulbs: The 2 light bulbs that came with the unit are bright, but they are 2700K. I swapped them out with 4000k bulbs to match with my other lighting. The light bulbs are easy and cheap to replace.

I would give it three stars because of the light/bulb problem. One of thme is dead after two months - we used it occasionally only.

I am really unhappy with the product finish. After we installed, I get the feeling its more suited for a commercial kitchen then for in-home.
I also wish you make note to install plastic covers to protect the stainless steel surface. My installer had some difficulty installing the hood between the cabinets and that resulted in a lot of scratches to the surface.

Works great, looks great, but...

Everything is good but even though it has a self-cleaning function, it is difficult to take the parts apart to do the cleaning. The hinges are to small and difficult to align. The clock didn't work and hard to set. The instruction manual is not detail enough to follow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have not installed it yet, however, prior to purchase in review of the product it said that this hood came with two different configuration. One with circular duct and an adapter for rectangular duct. The one I received did not come with rectangular adapter and it cost me great pain to find a reducer to fit from 6" circular from the hood to 10" X 3 1/4" rectangular.
