Found this online and thought the price and features fit our needs. Postives: Auto turn off, lights that swivel vs. a fixed location where your food might not be cooking, quiet on 1 and 2 speeds but begins to get loud at 3. Negatives: Loud at 3 or more setting.
Installed in wood fabricated hood. I'd likely buy again as the pros outweigh cons.
Purchased this on line and shipping was fast and packing was excellent. It is the best hood I have ever installed for the money. Oh and I am a retired builder of 50 years in custom home business. Don't hesitate this is a real deal.
**I will update this review once officially installed, but this review is related to the difficulty of installation**
I am getting a custom kitchen with a contracted cabinet maker, so his feedback is that Zline insert Blower and Zline Range Top instructions and details to help him make a custom cabinet are HORRIBLE. He even called customer service and no one was able to provide him more assistance.
The cabinet maker had to take the units to his shop as the only way to understand how to build the cabinets.
For the inset range blower, the motor is separate and likely needs to go into the attic making this even more complicated.
Now the price is still a value, so I will provide an update once installed and working.
Initial feedback is I am wondering if I made a huge mistake.
I purchased this about a month ago, and a contractor installed the hood. Over the last week, it appears that the fans cycle speeds causing some minor vibration - almost like a ramping up and down of the fan(s).
