Sleek modern style external venting hood

This hood came with the house we had built so was chosen be the builder. This hood adds to a modern decor with its sleek lines and push button controls. The lighting has various levels as the fan. Only negative is the fan noise seem higher than I like.
The range works exceptionally well and it looks great. Very happy with our decision. My only recommendation would be to replace the halogen light bulbs with LED.
This unit looks good and works well. The motor is very loud when on the high speed. The lights work well but would be better suited set back a little further. The hood vent cover should be redesigned it is flimsy and not easy to install correctly and plumb. The bracket is flimsy and doesn't support the weight very well. There also should be something made to make for a better transition to the ceiling.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello AaronD,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your new vent hood. We regret your experience.
I have forwarded your comments to our Cooking Product Managers. They take feedback very seriously.
Did an entire kitchen remodel and purchased this line. So far so good!
This hood is gorgeous. It is REALLY loud though (like jet engine loud), when you get it turned on, especially on high. Forget about holding a conversation or hearing anyone or anything. I don't really mind that because I don't use it often and when I do, no one is around to talk to me anyway.
After a long research, my wife bought this hood despite my warning about the damper problem that I learned from my own research.
The hood is nice design, powerful fan, good lighting, simple to use ... poor quality vent damper. Yes, the damper hinges are made from the same soft aluminum sheet that failed after a year or so of usage. Luckily, it escaped the fan when falling down otherwise the motor and case would be further damaged. It cost a lot to put it and now it would cost a lot more to repair due to the location.
I've had many GE Profile appliances before but I'm now thinking about something else. For this hood, I'll probably yank it out and replace with a different brand because I will have to face the same problem maybe another year from now.
This range hood is amazing. It has a very powerful fan on it, and the lights are amazing. It works so well. I am very impressed with this range hood. It looks amazing in our kitchen.
