I just had this installed yesterday so haven't had a chance to use it much. It works and it has a nice sleek style. The fan is a little loud, but I don't think I will use any setting past #2.
Just had the range hood installed. The guys said it was easy, but I wasn’t around to watch them. They said something about taking the fans out to easily access the screws. All I know is that i left for an hour and when i came back, they were down and sitting around waiting for me to give them something to do. I was worried about the noise of the fans but it didn’t seem that much louder than my microwave heating up a cup of coffee. I used a decibel reader app to compare: refrigerator hum=37 dB, microwave heating something=59dB, highest fan on PS18=66dB. Tested how it did with sucking up smoke/grease while frying bacon to a super crisp. Pretty sure it was sucking it all up. Or at least, I didn’t see smoke wafting into the rest of the kitchen like before! Didn’t see traces of “haze” hovering above me in the room. So Day 1 of use, all good. Cautiously optimistic = 4 stars. Can’t attest to longevity yet.
I replaced an over the range microwave with this range hood for my residence. I had the exhaust professionally installed. The out let in the back fitted like a glove to the existing opening. Have been with how it is functioning so far. Would recommend it. It’s looks good and works well.
The UC-PS18 vent hood is a beast and it's beautiful. Never thought a vent hood could be this good, or make this big a difference in cooking. Totally keeps cooking smells and grease,oils out of the kitchen.
I have two Hauslane PS18 range hoods at home, and both work perfectly. The quality is excellent, they do their duty very well, and the performance is consistent. I am very satisfied with these products and highly recommend Hauslane!
Nice product. Look & works well. BUT this is an under cabinet item. It’s a pain to align all the screws. It would be so easy for Hauslane to include a paper template. Cost them maybe a dime, and make life much easier for the installer. I did end up making one.
