We waited a long time for this piece to arrive. Order was placed in late March and it didn't arrive until mid September. By that time our installers (new build) were all on new projects and thus install was going to be an additional several weeks later, so we installed it. It is heavy and no easy task to install. The blower on the highest setting is loud, but if you use low or medium it's almost like white noise. The lights are bright and easily light up the cooking surface below.
Installer found it easy to install. Love the bright light and the remote control was a nice additional feature I didn’t know. My mother is quite short, she is able to use the remote to easily turn on/off
I never thought I would use the remote control but it is a great feature. If I don’t have my glasses on, I have a difficult time telling which is the button for the light.
