Powerful Venting

Great hood. Very powerful. Installation was easy and steam clean function is fantastic. Only issue is that website installation video does not show sample cabinet mount modifications and it took a bit of a time to modify our setup. The other issue to be careful is of bit sharp edge on removable metal filter tray.
I have not installed it yet, however, prior to purchase in review of the product it said that this hood came with two different configuration. One with circular duct and an adapter for rectangular duct. The one I received did not come with rectangular adapter and it cost me great pain to find a reducer to fit from 6" circular from the hood to 10" X 3 1/4" rectangular.
This is the best range hood I have owned. I chose it for ease of cleaning and extraction power. It's louder than I would like on the lowest setting, but not unreasonable. On high it handles smoky cooking well.
Installation was straightforward with cabinet jacks. Instructions should make clear that you need a fairly long bit holder to reach the mounting points with a screwdriver.
This vent hood gets some heavy usage and we're so happy to have it installed in the kitchen. Cleaning it is so easy so it makes overall kitchen cleanup bearable. We're a family that cooks with heavy spices so we're happy that it sucks up everything to avoid having the home smelling like food. Overall, a great product!
Bought this to replace an under cabinet microwave. Product is both stylish and functional. Installed it myself after watching several videos. Went in just like the instructions said. The only issue was more of a user error or lack of understanding. The depth of the cabinet directly over the hood was deeper than the install depth of the hood. Rather than have it 1.5 inches off the back wall I chose to have it back 1.5 inches from the front of the overhead cabinet. Sides were the correct depth. A little creative trim and paint ant it will look built in perfect. Un-trimmed photo is attached. Very happy with my decision.
I am really unhappy with the product finish. After we installed, I get the feeling its more suited for a commercial kitchen then for in-home.
I also wish you make note to install plastic covers to protect the stainless steel surface. My installer had some difficulty installing the hood between the cabinets and that resulted in a lot of scratches to the surface.
