I bought this hood to replace my old one. This hood is beautiful design and sleek but the Installation is very challenging because it is heavy and screw mounting holes are not easily accessible. We have to have screw extension, raising jacks and flash light along with a very awkward position to get it into place. The touch pad is scratches easily even I have used the microfiber cloth provided to clean.
Buying this was a no-brainer. We bought this to replace a non-ducted range hood. We were tired of smelling our food hours or days after cooking it. It got so many good reviews I figured it must be good. It took us a couple weeks to install but with three different options for install it was fairly easy. I was very excited to try it out. We have cooked hamburgers and the true test.. bacon and I must say this range hood is amazing. There is no lingering smell. It is a little louder that I expected but it's a compromise I can live with.
Bought this to replace a non ducted range hood. Best decision we ever made. It took us a couple weeks to install from start to finish but it came with 3 different options for piping. I have used it for about a week on burgers and now on bacon and it has exceeded my expectations. I no longer have to smell what I cooked 3 hours after the meal is finished. It is a little louder than I expected but it's well worth it.
