Overall, the UC-PS38 is a well-designed and aesthetically pleasing rangehood. It moves a lot of air and provides good lighting on the cooking surface. However, considering the high price of this unit, there is some annoying operational behavior: 1. You can’t just turn the light on. You have to power-on the unit to turn the light on. That is not user friendly. 2. The clock is only a 12-hour clock, but there is no am/pm indicator. That’s not a big deal, but it always displays the leading zero for the hour. For example, 7:15 (am or pm) is represented as “07:15”. What 12-hour clock displays the leading zero? It is annoying as is the blinking colon. There is no option for a 24-hour clock, so why display the leading zero?
These might be considered “minor inconveniences”, but they detract from the overall design of the product.
I’m giving an AWESOME 5 star with this UNIT the best I could ever buy I can cooked now with CONFIDENT and not being smelly at my home totally satisfied and recommended. Thumbs up!!!
This range hood works really well removing smoke and smells, and I like the included self-cleaning feature. The edge suction of this unit is really helpful as we primarily cook with the front burners and very little steam/smoke escapes while the fan is running. Cleaning the unit needs to happen regularly and that can take a bit of time to wipe down all the grease, but overall it is a good unit.
