Shipping, design, appearance, features, all very good. Good suction when cooking. Very good lighting. Touch panel features very good. Removable filter system seems convenient. Installation, parts, hardware, all are very good. Used the 6 inch round adapter, great to have the other options for installation. Need to be handy with tools, may need a helper at times. Been using for about 3 weeks now. Very happy so far.
Installation was quick and simple due to the thoughtful layout of the system and the user manual. The aluminum foil tape and the adaptor were also very useful.
I have purchased and installed 3 Hauslane hoods. As far as I am concerned, for the money, they are the best. They look good, are powerful, and you just can’t beat the quality of the craftsmanship.
Not as quiet as I had hoped, but still OK (my local retail stores never have power to the hoods, so there is no way to tell). Much harder to install that the online video showed (those back screws were a b****). The ventilation grates had a plastic protective wrap, but the hood didn't; my hood suffered a minor scratch during install because there was no protective wrap.
The hood looks great and works great. There are a couple of things to for insulation that need to be improved. It should be set up to easily be hard wired, ether the power cord should be done through a knockout or there should be spots to be knocked out. Also the top 10 x 3 1/4 vent should be only 3/4 an inch from the back to match a lot of the standard installations, or made so it can go in a range of positions starting from 3/4 inch from the back and moving forward.
