[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have only had about a month, but seems good. However (I realize this is just a fan and housing basically) it is quite loud even on the lowest setting. The two lights give nice illumination on both settings. Grates are super easy to remove and replace. Power switches are a little loose feeling and could probably be smoother to operate. But overall a good unit.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this range to replace an old one that had a locked up fan. The fan at level 1 is quiet enough to continue watching TV or talking while you cook. The higher levels are a bit loud but WOW do they work and help keep food smells from going out of the kitchen! We love the sleek look of the underside of the hood, it definitely makes our kitchen look more modern. The lights are a great feature as well to help light the food up.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only thing that could be improved on these would to be use LED lamps instead of very hot halogen lamps.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After looking at several other ventilation options, we decided on this unit. We like it's appearance and the relatively low profile. It provides excellent lighting, and the ventilation is great. The lower fan speeds are more adequate for most cooking needs. On high speed, it's fairly loud, as you might expect from a commercial-style ventilator, but, at that level, it not only takes care of cooking on the cook top, but also does a decent job of ventilating the kitchen, too. We've only used it at that speed when we needed some heavy-duty ventilation and didn't need to be in the kitchen.
We selected this venthood for our brand new home. Just after 2 years of light use, it went bad. The blower/fan turns on, but it hums, rattles and no longer pulls air. We’ve lived in other homes with far more reliable and long lasting blowers. Needless to say, we’re extremely disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
