Just received it to replace an old one, took about an hour. It looks great and the fan is nice. My installation recirculates inside, so I purchased the carbon filter. The light is adequate. Great value.
We bought this about a month back to replace an old vent. We are pleased so far with this product. It has a digital clock and LED display, and has elegant buttons instead of clunky knobs. It looks amazing in our kitchen.
Pros: Looks great and works well. Cost is reasonable compared to other models we browsed. Straightforward installation.
Cons: The highest setting is a little loud, but as long as it pulls off the smoke and all the cooking smells, I am happy.
We were deciding on which hood fan to purchase for our laneway home as we are heavy cookers. We settled on this device after reading some reviews online. This looks so sleek and has very good suction strength. Noise is pretty standard comparing to how strong it is. Very glad I decided on this hood fan and I can't wait to try it out!
So far the UC30 is working just fine. Took a little bit of time to install by one person, Two people would be better. I would suggest including a template of hole location that you could place under cabinet to help with marking the holes. The range hood looks great and at first thought I had a problem because it looked like there was an angle from front to back but after checking documents find it was just fine.
