I received 4 hood vents all 4 we’re damage in transit it was a beautiful product but I didn’t have the time of using the hood vent, so I give up and cancel the order if they would have a local vendor in Boston MA that I can physically pick it up and inspect for damage , I Would buy one.
After purchasing a fancy LG hood that never worked, I was pleased to purchase the Z Line hood. It is beautiful and has just on and off buttons, no unnecessary features like WiFi. The only drawbacks are that the final weld is visible on the front left side and the chimney took more effort than I expected to cut with a grinder. A jigsaw with a fine metal cutting blade worked much better. I recommend that everyone buy the crown molding to hide the flaws in the cut to the chimney.
Installation was relatively easy but would recommend that ZLine provide a piece of 1x1 angle iron which would be installed on the wall to create a ledge for the hood to sit on at the base of the hood. The 2 plastic anchors are a bit cheesy and in time may become a problem. We did this and it made the installation so much easier,
We bought this Range hood and were very happy with it once we had it installed. It is the right size for our grill and does a good job at keeping the smoke heading outside!
