You never know if what you ordered will arrive in good condition i found that it was packed properly for the long delivery. We order hundreds of thousands of dollars in kitchen and bathroom products and reject a fair amount do to defects and shipping damages. The experience in ordering the hood will result in more orders.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this range hood because it said it was ductless, but when we took it out of the box, the instructions said to hook it up to the duct work. It's a beautiful piece but we didn't plan on having to run the duct work to the unit so had to rip up the ceiling again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from zlinekitchen.comBy Customer Service, June 13, 2019
Our installation manuals are geared towards the ducted installation. We have carbon filters available for the hoods so they can recirculate like the GL14i. Our expert staff is always eager to help out and are available from 8 am - 8 pm EST Monday - Friday and from 8am - 5 pm EST on Saturday, if you have any questions.

RANGE HOOD IS DARN NEAR PERFECT - HAD IT 2 YEARS

We purchased and installed this range hood, ZLINE 36" Island Range Hood GL14i-36, about 22 months ago. We'd looked at MANY, so many, range hoods before making our decision to purchase this Z-Line model. We'd looked at many different units from many different manufacturers in many different price ranges in many different, but similar styles. We wanted an elegant look, excellent function (who cares how good it looks if it doesn't work - it has to do its job first and foremost) and easy cleaning. Additionally, I'm tall at 6' 4" so mounting it high enough so that the bottom edge would be above my sight line was an important feature to me, so that I could look at someone on the other side of the island without stooping. Therefore, the ability to mount this up to 36" above the stove top was also an important factor. Fortunately, there was a Range Hood Store near us, so we were able to go there and see their products (if you're not as lucky as we were to be nearby a store, know that everything we saw in the store was high quality and looked like the online pictures). We'd been concerned because of their excellent, very competitive prices that their products might be "cheap" in quality, look or construction WE FOUND OUT THOSE WORRIES WERE UNFOUNDED, so you can order online with confidence even if you have no nearby store to visit in person. Additionally, my wife worried that keeping it clean would be an issue, partly because of the glass portion of this hood. Well, it's pretty darn easy to keep clean and the dishwasher safe filter is nice too. Some people's reviews say that it is loud when in use . . . and, when it's on the highest setting, 4, it is kind of loud, BUT we've found it to be MUCH QUIETER than those BRAND X units in use by some of our friends over their islands. Further, our very quiet dishwasher is certainly louder than this hood, it's just not at ear height like our range hood, which I think may make seem folks think it's louder than it is. One last thing is the fact that there's a set of control buttons on each side of unit and I remember thinking, "There's no need for the duplicate set of buttons, I'll only use the ones on the same side as the stove top control knobs." But, now I cannot tell you just how handy it is to have the duplicate set of controls as we use them far more often than I would have ever thought. So, after almost 2 years we're still happy and we wanted to write this review, so you know you can order with confidence.

Bought for a new home. Had to cut down angle irons and stainless ducts to install even though kit was supposed to work for and 8 to 9 foot ceiling. ( ours are 8’and we wanted the hood to be
36” above range. Other than the retrofit, it is a nice hood. Love the 4 speed and the directional lights.

Super easy to install. Took 2 of us maybe an hour including time in the attic. Keeps 90% of the smoke out of the house. Works awesome!

Awesome hood design

Most hoods don't enhance a kitchen, but this one sure does! The curved glass bottom and the simple stainless steel oblong vent allow for unobstructed views from our kitchen, dining and living room. It's one of the first thing guests mention when they enter our home. It's easy to operate, has multiple fan settings and the 4 lights, one in each corner really make it easy to see what you're cooking.
The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 star rating is that when we have wind from the south, we hear a rattling noise. I wish ZLine had added a baffle to the ventilation system. Other than that, it's a beautiful work of art when it comes to kitchen appliances.
