I installed this unit for my customer. Quality all the way. I can tell how good a product is just by how well it is made and how easy it installs. Components are durable. When I turned this on for the first time, wow! Dual exhaust motors in an affordable residential unit, amazing! Hang onto your hat when you turn this baby on hi!

Great vent hood

This vent hood looks great and works even better. Replaced a microwave exhaust and makes a world of difference. No longer have strong smell in house. Had a small problem with the unit and customer support was there for a quick resolution. They stand behind their products!
Finally got this fan installed and it works well and removes the smoke with ease. I do have 2 issues. The first one is that it’s just not as quite as I hoped for. Even on low there is a very annoying drone. The other issue is merely cosmetic. I checked for damage before I installed the fan and everything looked fine other than finger prints all over it from the factory or maybe it was unboxed before... After the final install I removed the plastic film over the touch screen and then noticed a 1/4 long scratch right under the screen that I couldn’t see because it was blocked by the film. It’s definitely an eyesore since it can easily be seen. It’s disappointing but things happen.
I'm impressed by the sleek and modern design of the vent hood. Installation was a breeze thanks to the comprehensive set of tools provided. Its effortless cleaning process is a big plus for me, and the impressive power it delivers is exactly what I was looking for.
We purchased the Hauslane chef series hood to replace our existing combination microwave/hood unit. We also purchased a new top of the line new gas stove. I did a lot of research to finally decided on the UC-PS18 - 30. It met all of our requirements/meets I had it installed by professionals. They committed on how strong the exhaust fan was after they finished the vent ducting to the outside. And that is what we really wanted.
I replaced my decade old Broan RP100-A in hopes that this new rangehood will be quieter. However at lowest speed UC-PS18 is more noisy then lowest speed of my old rangehood. I measured using phone app (I know it is not perfect measurement) and confirmed that UC-PS18 makes about 68 dba (16 sones) at lowest speed. Old rangehood was less than 10 sones at speed 1. On positive notes, new rangehood does clear out lingering odor much much better even at lowest setting. Noise level goes from high to very high when I go from speed 1 to 6. I was hoping that speed 1 is much more quieter so I can pick the speed I want based on need.
