Not strong enough; difficult to install and access filters
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Response from geappliances.comBy Adrian, GE_Appliances, March 19, 2024
We are so sorry to hear that this telescopic downdraft vent has not lived up to your expectations due to the venting power and the installation and filter accessibility. We will be sure to pass these comments along to our product team for review, as we're always looking for new ways to improve our products.
Works well and matches Profile Cooktop. Exhaust reach is primarily for rear heating elements since it does not rise above a few inches from the Cooktop.
this is our second Downdraft System we have purchased through GE. the last one lasted 22 years and frankly could have kept going if it wasn't for the fact that my wife wanted to change to an all chrome look. I will say that it was not the easiest install though and required some professional expertise in retrofitting the removal and installing of the new one.
We had an older version of this downdraft for over 15 years. We had some problems with the old one relating to the button and also the fan control lever. We are very happy with the improvements made on both the button that raises and lowers the unit. It also seems that the fan is more powerful and more effective. We are very happy with the unit and that it fit to replace our old one.
