Love the Hood but poor 3 x 10 rear vent design

Love the unit, but the 3 x 10 damper for rear exusting is a very poor design. Whenever the fan is turned above the 2nd notch the damper has a loud rattle sound that is comming from the hinge ends and loose gromets. When contacting the dervice department they would not allow me to speak with a technition without sending a video of the problem. My unit is vented directly from the back to the outside. My outside vent cap has its own 3 x 10 hinged damper. The outside damper is only about 5 to 6 inches from the unit damper. Still trying to deside if rhe unit damper can just be removed or replaced with a 3 x 10 better desigb.
The PS-18 is a very nice looking and powerful range hood. It seems that this would last for many years. With dual fans, the noise at level 6 is really loud but that’s expected. Love the dual lights which are very bright and just warm and cozy enough for me. I would not have to replace it to a different color. The steel gauge is very thick. With the dual fans and the gauge thickness, that makes the PS-18 a bit heavy. The installation instructions are lacking and I just had to watch youtube videos. Overall, this is a very good value range hood and highly recommended.
Good price, powerful suction and good adaptability for different kitchen spaces. I wish there were some smart connection features, but for the price it's fine without. I'm really pleased with how it keeps smoke and steam under control while cooking!
