This hood is tastefully designed and has some serious power. It is heavy. The installation could be made easier with a template and I found that the duct work is challenging to fit into the plastic adapter.
We've had this stove exhaust fan for over two years, and grease does not collect on our cabinets since we've bought this. As an extra bonus, when the fan is on high, it clears the pollutants in our house quickly, and our thermostat will show "clean" within 20 minutes.
I wanted to really use this for a few weeks and then try the steam cleaning tray before reviewing. [I do have a gripe about accessing the rear mounting screws during installation, but I worked that out.] As far as design and performance, it is as advertised. Just steam cleaned the motors and that is an awesome feature. Plenty of power and with 6 settings you can keep it low for a lot of basic cooking and it's pretty quiet. The way it draws around the upper plate works really well on front burners. Easy to take that plate off and clean, the magnets are brilliant. Lights are in front away from the heat. Great design and huge improvement over our last hood. Highly recommend it.
Just installed so can’t comment much for performance. Appearance good. Less noise then my previous 400 cFM Very heavy. Diagram paper is not there from where we know where to cut circle under the cabinet.
Very nice product with great looks and features. However , installation was a pain! Would've be easier if a template was included to help aligning and marking the screw holes. The 6" vent hole is too close to the wall making it hard to set the flex pipe.
