Relatively quiet and very effective.
on July 8, 2018
Posted by: Chris H.
We used this to replace a Thermador that appears to have been installed by monkeys with a reciprocating saw. The only good part of the previous install was the 8" external vent. Because of the awkward location of the previous vent, on the right side, a few inches above the shelf, and right through a stud, I had to use semi flexible duct to turn 90 degrees almost straight off the adapter and slightly forward, and then continue turning more than 90 degrees to meet the external vent. Hard 90s were too long to fit in the space. Even with the odd ducting this still works very well. The total run is around two feet, which probably helps with the bad turns necessitated by the previous install. The old Thermador was so noisy and unbalanced that you could hear and feel it in most of the house, this hood is maybe a tenth as loud and we feel no vibration.One thing they could have done to male life easier, mark the screw holes on the template. It's hard to do yourself, so I didn't, but I should have. If I did it again I would tape the template to the top, then mark the screw locations from the inside. The screws also don't get hold of a lot of the hood, so I will be refitting one at a time using washers to extend the bearing surface. For the rear screws you either need a very long screwdriver, or better still a really long bit on a power screwdriver. I have ordered a foot long bit to reach up past the fan to the rear mounts. You might also look at using self drilling screws if you need to add more support. I replaced the remains of the shelf above with 3/4" plywood, so four screws is enough for me.

) So far we are very happy with it
on May 29, 2018
Posted by: Mikhail G.
We received this item sooner than expected. It is easier to have two people to hold and screw it in place. The buttons require only a soft touch for the power/fan to start working. No cooking odors with the fan on anywhere in the house. (If you forget to turn the fan on while you were frying onions/fish, and garlic for 30 minutes, there would be an odor accumulating in the hall/living room. But once the fan starts working, the odor fades away.) So far we are very happy with it. It is powerful, loud, but not annoying. The sound is pleasant. Has a few settings for lights with a bright option. What sold us on this product is a 2 year company warranty. Looking forward to auto clean.

Excellent for Asian cooking
on April 4, 2018
Posted by: Debbie K.
I've owned this for several months now and can say that this was a great purchase. I no longer have to worry about any smells upstairs after cooking. I've tried using my wok as well and the kitchen is free of smoke. I'm thoroughly impressed. It is not loud on high for the amount of air it moves. It is pretty heavy, but I was able to install it myself using a cabinet jack. You just have to buy 2 boards, one to set the cabinet jack on top of the stove and the other for the hood to sit on. I have not experienced any problems with the LCD that others have reported.

Looks Great, Good Price, Operates Easy, But...Needs Better Holes
on January 27, 2018
Posted by: DTY
This great looking unit performs as it should -- well. It keeps the cooking smells and clouds of fragrant steam to a minimum. Self cleaning capability is quite nice and the (for lack of a better description for it) "oil drip pan" under the fans (and located directly above your stove's burners) is easy to remove (with its magnetic catches) and is easy to wipe down every few months to get rid of the oil crude that inevitably gets all over a range hood (I just use clorox wipes and the stuff wipes off...if you don't let it set for a couple years and harden into a sticky mat). It's a little bit on the noisy end of the spectrum, but...I feel it's acceptable (I actually like it), but others may not like the background sound of turbines while they're cooking a meal.Installation, for the most part, was pretty straight forward, including routing and hooking up the exhaust ducting. However, there was one irritating item I wrestled with and that was screwing the thing into the bottom of the cabinet. It's not an easy, straight shot with a screw gun and an extension deep through the guts of the machine and it took me a while to figure out a means of keeping the screws from getting knocked off the tip of my screw gun while trying to work my way to the screw holes. Basically I abandoned a couple of the more difficult mounting holes and drilled new ones in secure, but easier to access locations. Not the first time I've had to deal with something like this. I truly believe (and I am sure many installation pros and DIY'ers believe this too) that design engineers should be forced to install things that they design -- with regularly available hand tools -- before releasing products for production/sale.Just saying....

It is a good range hood and looks nice. Thought it would be stronger with a higher CFM rate.

Sucks all the smoke out of the house
on October 8, 2017
Posted by: Jeff D.
I've had this vent hood installed for about a month now, and absolutely love it. As another reviewer said, this thing is so powerful that you can suck a turkey off your stove and deposit it into the yard (which is what sold me on it). Hood is quiet on the settings 1, 2, and 3 and very reasonable at the higher settings as well. It sucks out both smells and smoke - which are giving my fire alarms a nice break.Had to make a couple of minor customizations so that I could use this hood. First, since the cabinet above the stove didn't provide enough clearance for the hood, I had my contractor build another "fake" cabinet. Then, we had to use semi-rigid vs. rigid vent material because there is a gas line directly above my stove and we didn't have enough space to turn rigid duct work.Only issue I have (and I believe others have had the same issue) is that at the low settings (1 and 2 bars), there is a constant humming sound. Hood was leveled as per directions, but still the sound won't go away. Kind of annoying, but livable.

Excellent range hood
on September 25, 2017
Posted by: Anonymous
Excellent range hood, very weighty, huge CFM, which I need because we cook many types of Asian food. When your bed sheets smell like Pad Thai, it's time to bump up to a better model of vent. This does the job-and as a bonus it cleans itself. Very pleased. This hood is the bomb! Best purchase I have ever made.
