Did a lot of research before settling on this Hood Insert. Needed the remote blower (oh it is so quiet) with the LED lights and baffle technology filters and this one fit every requirement. Have had it functional for 6 months and couldn't be more pleased.
I bought mind in 2018 and The Range Hood Store was great to work with! Had one small issue but they took care of it right away. In 2019, my lights went out and ZLINE sent me a new light kit right away. This hood will suck the air out of a blimp! Grease filters are easy to remove and clean. Very satisfied.
We have used the 46” unit in a couple homes so far. We will definitely make this our new standard. Just a simple clean look that functions perfectly. also, the cabinet doors are held shut with magnetic catches so you can access the outlet.
Had the E690 hood installed for a Kitchen remodel. Size is perfect for our kitchen. Needed at small size to fit between existing cabinets. fans work great and like appearance. the LED lighting is a little weak and appears to have a LED color rating of about 6000. The rest of our kitchen lighting is between 2700 to 3000 - soft light. We would like to change the light out for a brighter - soft color rated LED light, if possible???
i got this install few days ago, but the Motor is very loud. You cannot install this by yourself. You need atleast 2 people to install this; its very heavy.

Hi there,
Thank you for your inquiry. Sometimes, the motor can become unbalanced and loose during shipment. We recommend tightening the motor knobs on the side of the hood before or after installation.
Please give us a call at 866-528-0571 and we can assist you with this process. Thanks!
