Very nice - quieter than old OTR microwave

I was replacing an OTR microwave, which had wholly inadequate vents that were ridiculously loud. Noise level was a primary concern for me; this hood is significantly quieter than the old unit, which is good, though on the two highest settings it is still fairly loud. I understand that good ventilation is going to create some noise, and this hood does deliver very good ventilation. The finish is nice, and matches my other brushed stainless appliances (everything is #4 brushed). It was packaged well with excellent protection.
I did a self-installation, and had to do some cabinet and duct modifications to get it securely mounted, and ensure the duct was air-sealed at the adapter joint - I cut out about 10" of the original rectangular duct, and cut a new piece about 11" long, then attached that to the hood adapter with it already aluminum-taped in place so I could lift the unit into place and have the duct join up in the cabinet where I could actually have room to tape the new joint as well. There was no way to tape the joint at the adapter on top of the hood once it is installed, so this was my solution.
I was able to lift and install the unit by myself with no help by carefully using the included measurements diagram to install the four mounting screws with washers attached, and then lifting the hood up so the washers went through the larger holes in the top steel, then pushed the hood back so the screw shafts were in the narrow part.
The only complaint I have is that there is no way to entirely disable the clock - there is no reason this needs a clock. I would also prefer the two buttons to change the fan speed were switched so down is on the left and up on the right.
I did replace the dim bulbs (very yellow-colored light) with new 5000k, high Color Rendering Index ones instead, and now have a nice, bright workspace.
Great styling, easy to use and clean. Use dishwasher to clean baffles and filters. Particularly like that hood covers entire cooking area for better evening. Highly recommend.
I recently installed the Hauslane UC-PS18 under-cabinet range hood for my 36-inch stove, and I’m really impressed. It’s sleek and modern, adding a clean look to the kitchen, and it’s powerful yet quiet, even on higher fan settings.
Because my cabinets are a bit deeper than standard, I had to use a filler piece for a perfect fit — but that was an easy adjustment. Overall, I really like this range hood and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for strong performance without the noise.
So happy with our new Hauslane range hood. We tried the standard microwave hood fan after our kitchen renovation and we're so disappointed. Switched to Hauslane after it was recommended to us by family and this thing sucks- literally. Beautiful addition to our kitchen, quiet, easy to clean. What else could you ask for. Upgrade to this range good- you won't regret it.
Very powerful vent hood. I cook daily and the house never smells. Its also is very easy to clean. I just had a little trouble with the clock but that is being resolved.
I just had this installed yesterday so haven't had a chance to use it much. It works and it has a nice sleek style. The fan is a little loud, but I don't think I will use any setting past #2.
