I replaced my Broan with this Houselane Hood. You can tell just when opening the Box these are built extremely well and look amazing. Everything that you need is included in Box and unlike my Previous Hood, I did not have to tape all the holes to prevent Grease from getting into the Cabinet. This unit has 2 Powerful Motors that can get a little Loud at the Highest Settings but quiet on the First 2 Speeds.
We love the vent hood, it really does an awesome job. However, we have a few suggestions: 1. Provide a mounting template to make it easier to install. 2. Provide machine screws and locking nuts as an alternative to the huge wood screws provided. If you mount the vent hood to the bottom of a 3/4" wood cabinet, the wood screws would stick up in to the cabinet at least 2". 3. Provide a way to either dim the clock or disable the clock display. It is really bright at night.
Overly detailed and critical review...I got the 36" hood and love the look and it has plenty of air movement for a good price. My minor complaints, 36" opening but the hood is just over 35.5" so there's a small gap on both sides. My old hood fit snug. The lights that come with it were far dimmer than my old Broan hood, I replaced them with brighter bulbs from Amazon. Up and down for fan speed is counterintuitive...left is usually lower and right higher. My vent hood sometimes turns on at the last used speed and other times on level 4. I think it depends on if I shut it off or use the timer to turn it off. After installing, the hood had a rattling sound. I guessed it was the exhaust baffle that's about as thin as aluminum foil...so I took the hood back down and removed it since it wasn't needed in my case...much quieter. The timed off function turns the entire hood off, not just the fan like my old hood...more of a preference thing. I actually wish it had an even lower speed than the lowest one it has for a quieter option when only using one burner.
Great design for an under cabinet range hood. Totally elevated the overall look and feel of my kitchen. Even on high setting it is not too loud. Easy to use UI and nothing is too complicated.
