So far, so good

Only had it for a few days, so don't know how long it will last. Looks nice in our kitchen and fit the space of the old one perfectly (very important as we have a tile backsplash). It took our handyman 3 hours or so to install but we need a reducer for the vent since our vent was 7". Fairly quiet at a low speed but quite loud at high speed. I doubt we will need the higher speed very often though. The lights are good and bright.
This beautiful unit replaced a microwave/exhaust fan combo that had pitiful exhaust capacity. The installation was somewhat complicated, and we ended up running a new 6-inch exhaust fan through the attic, but that was not the fault of the Hauslane exhaust fan. The PS18 is superbly designed and built. Everything is heavy duty and well thought out. I couldn't wait to try it out. The first thing I did was boil water on the front burner to see how well the fan draws from the front of the stove. WOW! Removed everything on the lowest fan setting. I progressed to frying bacon...a true test. It performed beautifully on the second (of six) fan settings. I love cooking without fear of setting off the smoke detector! I can't imagine I will ever need to use the 5th or 6th exhaust fan settings unless it is just for a short time while searing meat at high temperature. Even then, it is very quiet. When you install the fan with the round exhaust, be sure that both leaves of the damper are able to close. There is a small rubber bumper that the leaves of the damper rest on. During the installation one of the damper leaves got nudged on the wrong side of the bumper. Easy fix. If you seal the connection well, there will be no leaks. Everything about this fan is well thought out. I have two suggestions for improvement: round the edge of the front corners (I am tall enough that I could hit my head shifting from working at the counter to working at the stove) and make the lights dimmable. And, yes, there is plenty of light to cook by. I debated wheter to buy the PS18 or the next model up. I made the right decision with this unit. It is more than adequate for my application. Buy it, you won't regret it!!!
Great Hood, solved all my kitchen problems with cooking. Easy to install and had all the tools to install to my outside vent. Thank you for a great product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Exceptional Performance and Modern Elegance

I recently upgraded my kitchen with the Hauslane Range Hood Ps18, and I couldn't be more impressed with its performance and sleek design.
Performance: The Ps18's performance is outstanding. With a powerful motor and efficient ventilation system, it effortlessly eliminates cooking odors and keeps the air in my kitchen fresh. The three-speed settings provide flexibility, allowing me to adjust the airflow based on the cooking intensity. Even when I'm cooking up a storm, this range hood handles it with ease.
Design: The modern and minimalistic design of the Ps18 adds a touch of sophistication to my kitchen. The stainless steel finish not only complements other appliances but is also easy to clean, maintaining its polished look even after intense cooking sessions. The LED lights are a fantastic addition, providing ample illumination over the cooking area.
Quiet Operation: One of the standout features of the Ps18 is its surprisingly quiet operation. Even on the highest setting, the noise level is minimal, creating a more enjoyable cooking environment. This was a pleasant surprise compared to other range hoods I've used in the past.
At first I thought it was a little noisy, but no more so than other hoods. Then I realized it has two motors in it to suck out smoke, etc. Two motors obviously make more noise than one motor. And it really looks nice in my kitchen.
This product was easy to install and has exceeded my expectations. It does a great job in moving the exhuast outside.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Owned only Vent-a-Hood range hoods before this one and I could not be happier. Quality packaging and presentation. High-end design. Powerful and quiet. Warm, bright LED. Purchased from a national home improvement retailer since it was out of stock here. Highly recommend.
