Unit looks great and vents nicely. Unit hanging brackets were too long and had to cut and drill new holes to make work. Brackets were probably designed for a 10 ft. ceiling so I may just have ordered the wrong one. No big deal. Problem was the lights didn't work. Customer service was very good and sent me a new light package which arrived a few days later. Hate like heck that I have to pull the unit down to replace as I vented unit to the outside. Not going to be easy. But it vents very well and my wife cooked pork chop the afternoon I installed it and the neibors knew what we were having for dinner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Motor sound was louder then expected. It always seems like the motor isn't suctioned the way it supposed too. Doesnt suction everything and push out from the duct. Most of the heat, steam 9r smoke stays around the vent instead of going in. I purchased a high cfm so nothing stays behind.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Brackets supplied for install were not long enough for my application so these had to be fabricated at an additional cost. Installation instructions are very limited and does not go into recirculating versus venting to outside options for installation. These you have to figure out on your own.

Bought this a month ago and just love the way it looks and how it operates! Ordered the short stack because my is 8’ tall, and the regular chimney was too long. Very satisfied!

Sleek solution for islands without outside venting

I've had my hood about 3 years so far. Works great. This was the only stainless island hood available in the dimensions I needed that didn't require outside venting, yet is powerful enough to handle wok steam and pasta pots. Attractive with 4 speeds and terrific lighting. The recessed halogen bulbs swivel slightly in their sockets, but do throw a lot of heat -- enough to crack the little glass cover on one when steam got inside. (Replacement bulbs don't have covers unfortunately but a small point and doesn't affect performance.) Love the dual set of controls on both sides of the unit -- smart! The inside screen is sleek and easy to clean. Installation also was easier than most island hoods according to the independent installer who put it in. Overall I love it. You will too.

I'm so happy I chose this range hood last month. It is well constructed with beautiful, clean lines. The crown moulding with this vent really adds the right touch. The filters are easy to clean and the lighting is great. The vent works better than I could have hoped. My husband installed it, but he had to do a lot of retrofitting because we have 8 foot ceilings. It worked out for us, but probably a professional contractor should be hired for installation. My husband was REALLY impressed with the care in packaging.
