I bought this to install over my gas range and love it! Easy and quick install, fan is quiet but has great power. Overall I would recommend this product to anyone comparing similar products.
We had an over the range microwave installed and it didn't help with our cooking smell at all. Specially in winter when we can't open windows it smelled horrible inside. We didn't want to call someone for install specially for the COVID. Tried cooking outside few days - but was getting hard due to cold. I researched this one and figured I will give this a shot as it looked reasonably light for self-install.
We received the unit and it was pretty well packaged with blue plastic wrapped - a little too tight to even remove in some places; like under rivets. But, that is a good thing, there was not a single scratch on the whole unit. We loved it since it was so light and it sucks air so much in a great way. I was able to use my car jack to stabilize and lift it for the install. My wife loves it. It looks super awesome and after the ducts were sealed properly it sucks everything out during cooking. We also love the manual timer you can add up to 60 mins (incremental by 1 min) - so it will continue running until that time. I would recommend this for anyone specially with lots of oily cooking.
I purchased this a few months ago as I'm in the middle of a kitchen remodel. So far I've been happy with it. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is it's a little louder than I was hoping for. On level 1 it's pretty quiet, however on level 1 you can see it's not doing as good of a job exhausting steam as when it's on level 2 or 3 which is to be expected, but it's quite a bit louder on level 2 than on level 1. On level 2 it's probably as loud as the 20 year old range hood that it replaced. I still primarily use it on level 1 even though I know it's not working as well as it can. The light is more than bright enough for my needs. I haven't had to clean the oil cup or filters yet but that should be easy enough as they attach and remove very easily. Was very easy to install. I remember when I installed it, the instructions made it more confusing than it needed to be, but just use common sense and it's not complicated by any means. One day if I ever finish my remodel I'll update with a better picture, but I think it will look great when everything is done
