Very glad to have bought this. I like how the buttons are on the inside. LED angle adjustable lights are a big plus. But most of all, the power and quietness balance is great in this unit. It does not make an annoying loud noise when you set it to the highest power setting #4. It definitely works great.
After looking in all the box stores for a wall mounted hood I decided to try online. I was lucky enough to find the range hood store. Not only was their selection great and the prices were well below what I seen locally. Selected hood arrived quickly and in excellent condition. Installation was fairly easy for my son and I using the enclosed instructions. We are very happy with the way it looks and its performance.
We installed this in a new house and really like how it looks. At the price it is a good value and seems well made. We like that it holds a magnet for hanging pot holders on the side. But the claims of the fan noise being equivalent to a whisper are not true. On the lowest setting it might be 50 decibels, not 30. The sound level was important to us and thus the 3 rating. Other than that, it is a great hood.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello,
We apologize that this hood ended up being louder than expected. Sometimes a loud hood is the result of the motor being off balance.
Typically, you just have to tighten the bolts on the sides of the motor. This can help decrease extra noise.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please give our Customer Relations team a call at 614-777-5004.
I bought this (KF2-36) range hood several months before my house was completed enough to install, but I didn't want to chance it selling out. It was delivered quickly and in perfect condition There is a plastic lining adhered to the stainless steel finish to protect it from scratches and it is packed in styrofoam to prevent dents. All the hardware needed to install is included, and everything goes together well. I chose this model because of the four CFM settings. It has enough power to vent anything I can cook up. The lights are bright and pool over the stove top. I do wish there were two light settings instead of one, but this is minor. The range hood operates well and is surprisingly quiet. The best part is that it looks beautiful while it functions flawlessly.
We got the hood installed and everything done in time for Thanksgiving. The hood is great! It's powerful and beautiful. I personally like the quality of light that you get from the halogen lights. I definitely recommend these hoods!
