Had to install a GE because that is what fit in my cabinet as I did not want to lose my cabinet drawers. It does no look very nice compared with the Zephyr - especially the button that is wrapped in plastic ( I can see that being an issue) My BIGGEST complaint is that after ONE week the unit will not lower - ONE WEEK! Spend the extra money and get the Zephyr - I wish I had!

If you have not already done so, we encourage you to disconnect power to your vent system for 2-3 minutes to reset the electronics. If the issue persists once power is restored, we encourage you to contact our GE Appliances service team - Bodewell at 1-833-426-3393 to have your unit evaluated and repaired as needed.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This GE downdraft works great! I had a Viking before & it needed repair every other month- I was not happy!
The unit works perfect great, Exhaust- Std noise not as loud as last one and filtration of odors is good and like the way the filters are hidden and ez Clean.
After less than a year after installation and with only minimal use, the vent does not work! Vent does not raise up, though motor engages. We can lift the device manutally, but it does not stay up and fan will not come on. Expected more from this manufacturer and brand.

We're sorry to hear about your downdraft not operating properly. We'd like to help out with this. We suggest trying a quick electronic reset, which can be done by removing the power cord for 2-3 minutes, then plugging it back in.
If you are still experiencing issues, we recommend scheduling service with our Bodewell team. You can do so by calling 1-833-426-3393 or by visiting this link: https://www.bodewell.com/schedule-repair-service
The design of the product is beautiful. However, I did not like the placement of the fan speed dial.
