Good looking range hood that compliments my new stove top. The unit is very heavy and it needed two people to do the installation. Bright LED lights, nice exhaust fan and overall very solid construction. I like the clock and the timer. For the money I consider this unit a good value and I am happy with it.
An excellent range hood at its price point. My parents were going to buy the pacair one but it was just too expensive. This one is a great alternative. It does a good job of reducing grease and steam.
Hood shipped quickly and arrived undamaged. It looks great and installation was trouble free. We vented ours out top of hood then used an elbow to vent outside. Very powerful fan and whiter than original microwave hood
This is a really nice hood. It looks great and has good functionality, including 6 fan speeds, LED lights, clock and delay timer (so you can set the fan to turn off automatically). It is relatively quiet on the lower speed settings; the top 3 settings are louder, but also move a lot of air.This replaced a 42 year old GE hood that finally stopped working recently. I am glad I decided to go with this unit. As recommended, I plugged it in and checked that all the controls were working before installing. Installation took several hours. The instruction manual is pretty minimalistic, but if you know what you are doing you can install it yourself. I had to pick up a few items for the installation (a section of 3-? x 10 aluminum duct to connect the vertical outlet to my existing ductwork, aluminum duct tape, some hex head 2??#12 screws and a 6??driver extension for my drill). The rectangular vertical duct adapter supplied with the unit is too short in my opinion (the duct only extends about 1??above the top of the hood ??so it does not stick out above the bottom of the upper cabinet when installed; the mounting screws are also about ???too short). I cut the power cord, removed the strain relief, and opened up the auxilliary electrical connection hole on the back of the unit to enable a direct connection to the existing wiring in my wall.I used a car jack with several blocks of wood to raise the hood into place with a ~4??duct extension pre-attached (see photo). It was tricky to get the new duct extension to slide over the end of the existing duct. I trimmed the edges of the aluminum ??lapper??on the rectangular duct adapter so they wouldn?? catch on the old duct ends after installation. I needed help from my wife to get the wood blocks and jack in place once I hoisted the unit into position. I?? afraid some bad words were said after I struggled several times to reach up under the hood with an electric screwdriver to drive the retaining screws in place. I ended up nixing the back two screws in favor of putting one through the back of the unit into a wall stud, which was much easier and totally solid. Once installed, it worked like a dream. A dimmer on the control panel would have been nice, as would dual brightness levels on the lights. The little ding they unit makes every time you touch a button on the control panel gets old pretty quickly. Also, the control panel surface is plastic, not glass (which would have been better).
The fan works great. It is quiet as I expected. I got the second one and they are both worth $

The fan works great. It is quiet as I expected. I installed with the top air duct connection maybe that helps the air flow. No bad smell in the kitchen after all. I only don't like is the hole plan was missing in the box so I have to measure and make a hole plan so I can drill holes precisely. Lucky I had no mistake. The metal filters have 2 colors, I guess the outside part looks better then it is OK, I hope the inside part wont rush after a while. After 2 years, It still working well, so I bought again for my other family member.

Beautiful and powerful range hood with 6 speeds and LED lights. It is heavy but installation is not hard at all, need to use the car jack. I have to remove the filter and the fan cover to install it.
This hood is stylish, but more important - efficient. Has several speeds not just two, like other brands. It's the best I have owned. Glad I bought it.
