Terrible

Recently had this installed during a kitchen remodel - it arrived with an diffective part and it took almost 2 months to get a replacement. Since the part was replaced, we have had to have it serviced 2 more times as it will not stay in the upright position. I would absolutely NOT recommend this downdraft!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Installation takes effort
on May 15, 2025
Posted by: JerryMS
The unit installation was relatively easy, however it is heavy and takes some effort to move it into position. I had to stand in the cooktop cutout space to handle it. Matching the outlet on the bottom to my existing 6" round duct took a bit of effort to fit it while lowering the unit into position. Better with two people to do this.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Granite top installation
on January 12, 2025
Posted by: Granite top
from Cartersville, GA
While it is a good product, works as advertised and we are happy with performance - a word of caution for using with thick granite countertops - it is very difficult to get a "perfect" fit for support tabs and when unit is lowered does not sit completely flush with countertop

Installing a telescopic downdraft vent behind your cooking surface instead of a hood above it is a great look for your kitchen. The vent only comes up when you need it, allowing for a clean, minimal look when it is not in use. We appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear the downdraft is working well for you.

So far I'm loving it. Works smoothly, quiet and great suction for the downdraft. Looks sleek in the countertop. Very happy with this purchase so far.
