Smell from our Indian cooking is taken care now with this Hauslane product. It met my expectations. Easily to install. Powerful exhaust motors. Very good lighting.
This is a strong range hood. I was looking for something to replace my microwave range hood as part of a kitchen remodel. This has a great set of fans that make a huge difference. The fans are definitely audible when on at full speed. This just lets me know they are working and doing the job. The hood looks fantastic, and the touch panel controls are a nice touch. The hood came with all of the adapters to fit my vent box which was also an added plus.
This item works great, pulls enough air to stick a piece of paper to the grate at the lowest setting (our old microwave one would not do this). The light is bright and illimunates the whole range area.It was fairly difficult to install, I recommend having a strong extra set of hands to help hold it up. The unit is heavy enough that it made it difficult. I highly recommend removing your range to give you more room to work while installing. Otherwise the installation issues we had were not the product's fault.
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!!!!!
