[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with my hood. I updated my kitchen appliances to stainless steel. I selected this hood to match my décor and my Bosch Stainless Steel Cooktop. I like the brushed finish and the 4 fan options to clear the air of smoke and odor. I like the fact that I can put the mesh filters in the dishwasher to clean. I was not happy that the halogen lights were not included in my purchase. I had an extended delivery date so when I was told that the bulbs were not included; I was a bit surprised and irritated. With the price of the hood, the halogen lights should have been included (or someone should have told me at purchase, so I could have purchased the lights at the same time). From a functional standpoint, I love how quick the air can be cleared when using.
On high this thing is LOUD!! Not only the fan motor noise but the fans vibrate the metal cabinetry making it so loud you have to yell to hve a conversaton in a large room.

Hi Derick, thanks for your review. We apologize this has been your experience and will have a member of our team reach out to see how we might be able to help.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had no problems installing the hood or finding the two lights for it, workes very well in venting. I don't use Hi very often but when I do it workes great but is a little to loud, I am still very satisfied on how good it vents. Looks great too!
We have had this product installed in a new home for almost 3 years. The spot welds on the front of the unit have now broken and the low quality stainless has begun to tarnish in multiple spots. Would have expected better craftsmanship and quailty from a supposed "high end" manufacturer.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The air handling is great, pretty quiet. The bulbs last 3 months and are a royal pain to replace. I’ve tried swapping halogens for led and tungsten. But neither last long.
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I am looking at this unit and can't believe changing the bulbs is the big concern. What does BOSCH themselves say about this? It's their website but they don't respond - BOSCH, can you respond, or do I buy the other guy's? Thanks
