Awesome and Highly Recommended!

We could not be happier with our new hood insert. Strong enough to suck the fillings from your teeth, yet quiet enough not to be obtrusive. It's decorative front is made of "REAL" stainless steel (non-magnetic) and not that cheap stuff used by most foreign manufacturers now days to wrap most of our modern appliances!
This unit it American made and no cheap lightweight but a hefty, robust and sturdy unit that should last for many years. When installing, be certain to re-inforce your mounting brackets as this is one heavy boy.
Sucking 1,200 CFM of air means that every crack and crevice in your home will draft outside air to replace the vacuum. Therefore we opted to install an air exchanger in our kitchen's outside wall to alleviate this problem.
Our older home was fortunate to have an old brick chimney from the basement, through the kitchen and out the roof. As this unit was destined to be mounted next to said chimney, our contractor simply punched an 8" hole in the chimney and vented it directly outdoors through the roof. However, come winter we quickly discovered a problem. Cold air is heavier than warm air and would drift down the chimney and cool off the kitchen my up to 20 degrees F. This was quickly remedied by the installation of an automatic baffle to close off the chimney when the fan was not in use. Therefore I would highly recommend that Z-Line consider pre-installing a baffle in ALL their units prior to merchandising them to the public.
As for ours, it has become the show piece of our new kitchen. Everyone comments on it and we are very proud and happy to have it as a new addition.

Looks nice and very functional! Keeps the heat out the kitchen without a lot of fan noise. 4 speeds, but usually only go as high as 2. LED lights do well for lighting stove area.

Love the hood! Only complaint is that the lights cannot be dimmed and the lowest fan setting is louder than expected.

Perfect to draw out burned natural gas

Bought this because I have a long vent run to outside. It is perfect for that. I like the adjustable spotlights for our mural over stove. Only one thing is a problem. My wife can't reach the light switch since it is in rear. She will have to use a pencil to turn light on and off.

Bought this range hood several months ago and really helped solve my cooking odor problem! My husband loves to fry everything. My new range hood takes care of all those stale, greasy smells!
