I did a ton of research before choosing the Hauslane UC-PS18, and I’m so glad I went with it. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell this was a high-quality unit. The stainless steel finish looks sharp and modern in my kitchen, and the touch controls give it a premium feel.
The suction power is seriously impressive — I cook a lot of high-heat meals (stir fry, searing, etc.) and this thing clears out smoke and odors effortlessly. I love that there are 6 fan speeds, and the auto shut-off timer is a nice touch when I forget to turn it off.
It’s louder on the higher settings, sure, but that’s expected with this kind of power. Cleaning is super easy — the baffle filters go straight into the dishwasher, and the grease tray design makes cleanup way less messy than my last hood.
Installation took a little time (it’s heavy, so get a second pair of hands), but the instructions were clear and I appreciated the flexible venting options.
Overall, this hood feels commercial-grade without being overkill for home use. I’d recommend it to anyone who loves to cook and wants something that looks as good as it performs.
We use this range hood often and it has good suction. This unit has a wide range of noise, and power. We like this unit and will continue using it for cooking.
I bought this unit 2023 and was a good choice of purchase. It is very easy to clean with a powerful suction. No major issues. I recommend to better the way you change the clock.
Really powerfull but the noise gets old pretty qui

I bought a new construction which for some reason in this day and age with a gas cook top decided that the recirculating microwave is perfectly acceptable. So the first thing we did was install a range hood.
We choose this once cause of the touch sensitive buttons and ability to exhaust out the back instead of top.
Installation process was a breeze and straight forward, The thing is powerful and rI barely have to use any speed beyond 2. I like the metal baffles which are nice to maintain, i just throw them into the dishwasher and call it day.
Things to be aware of:
1. this thing is loud , i mean really loud. If you are someone that gets sensory overload or like having conversation while cooking, you are not gonna like this. 2. Since this pulls 700CFM, make sure your HVAC has proper make up air system cause modern houses are sealed pretty well. We usually crack open a window as it was cheaper then getting new HVAC folks in for rework. 3. For some reason the top collects dusty grease, I suspect this is to do with physics of air flowing, I'll leave it upto the experts to tell me why.
I do wish they had a switch somewhere to change the speed of fan from the high speed to something more traditional like max 200 CFM.
Pretty good hood vent with good suction. As you can see in the video, on max setting it sucks paper no problem, and solo cups also sucks up without the grates. The only downsides I have so far are that the screws it came with are short and do not seem that secure so I used my own bolt/nut/washers combo, and also one of the fan seems a tad but unbalanced.
We are very happy with our under cabinet range hood. It's very easy to clean, looks sleek, and is great for heavy-duty use. The suction works very well. The speed settings are excellent - the lowest setting works great for longer use. Overall, highly recommend.
