A significant improvement

Verified Purchase:Yes
This range hood is large and because of how it looks slanted (is not), it makes for a lot of extra space and is very attractive with bright LED lightst, two speed fan, very nice and efficient, a little loud, but, you'll get used to it. Installer was very experienced and persistent to assure the install was done right. I placed note on the counter that said "hardwire like original" just in case I forgot. He took the time to install until fully done right. I had been planning to use my own installer but so glad I paid for the install. I like the range hood although the finish of the SS is different, still trying to find the right cleaning product. I bought this and had hard-wire installed because I wanted full ventilation to outside not some dinky microwave "fan". I bought this to match new SS stove, dishwasher, and fridge and makes my kitchen look fantastic and makes cooking so much more pleasant, the bright lights illuminate stove top so you can see your dish so well.. I'm listing my house and want the new homeowner to be happy with the quality appliances in kitchen not unhappy with old or cheap inefficient appliances. I wanted a fancier model which would've involved removing cabinets, etc., but ran into issues with my contractor so settled on this which was a more efficent install using the original range hood configuration vented to outside. You'll enjoy this vent hood..

So pleased:)

The installation was done by a very experienced installer, was persistent to assure it was properly installed. Ran into problem because Kit hose did not fit well; luckily, based on a prior review I bought the hose and an adapter seperately @ Lowes and it was lain on counter just in case, and he just used those, he didn't have to ask me. The reason I'm so pleased ia because I've had two dishwashers since 2002 and repeatedly leak or start leaking bubbles from door sides, etc. I was very frustrated that no one could install properly and repairs were equally an eventual failure. Based on how much time and care this installer took to do it the right way, he noticed right way that the Kit hose/adapter were not the right kind so he used those spares on my counter and I knew it ws finally done right.

Installer was very experienced and confident in his work, good customer service too, checked everything and even turned on the oven and timer to "burn off" the necessary first-time new use and let me know what to do.

Must buy kit
on September 11, 2017
Posted by: Dnanc
from Gaithersburg, MD
Verified Purchase:Yes
Absolutely required, and done well with it, however, installer ran into problems, couldn't use kit hose, luckily I had purchased a connection hose and adapter for prior DW still in plastic laid on my countertop and he used those. My DW installed 2005, plumbing for hook up from 1987. You might want to do what I did which I did because I read a review that stressed this, you can always take your extra hose/adapter back. You don't want this to be an issue.

This range cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing range.

You must purchase the cord, mine looked quite different from old one, be sure to have a checklist and make sure this item is on there, you don't want to be delayed due to this.

What's not to love?
on September 11, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I read all reviews before buying, the pros outweighed the cons and glad I did, love it. Very spacious with many options, can fold up or down areas to isolate items; like dipping cups, can do half wash using bottom rack only, etc. MUST use Finish or other rinse agent. Yes, gets very hot, but, your dishes come out SO clean. Equally the heat really heats the dishes to dry. I read someone said it melted plasticware, I put hard rubber spatulas on bottom rack, Rubbermaid plasticware on top and rubber scraping spatulas on top rack no melt just squeaky clean. Used the jets for juice glasses, stained ice tea glassware, and they are so clean. I interrupted the dry cycle halfway to get something out; found everything hot and already dry to touch; shut it off and closed door for 10 minutes- 100% dry. I read complaint of water remaining on dishes, not so. It washes/rinses /dries with very hot options. Any water in the dishwasher after emptying (afterall it is a DW wipe dry with paper towel. Many options, i.e. set heat temp. Very nice looking, like a Mercedes or Cadillac of DWs...:) looks great and huge in kitchen. Has made my life so much easier. Someone said loud, not so, I have to put my ear to it to see if on although orange light on door indicates on, positioned some pots pans and other items kinda loose once and that was the only noise I heard, by the way, the pots/pans come out SO clean. Take time to experiment w options and you'll love it , believe me I'm extremely picky ...so look @ /try everything. multiple times and if find a negative, you'll see it here but, I am so pleased. Highy recommend.

Get Cookin!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this stove 30 days and love it. Huge cooktop, extra burner, (burner in burner) and a warming burner. It's so efficient and dishes cook faster and better with proper heat, soup is piping hot, heats up immediately. The oven is a dream, very spacious, and bakes superbly used both bake options and love them both. If you clean oil and any dropped items right away (around the burner) it wipes easily. I find it easy to clean with a paper towel, napkin, or sometimes a dishcloth. Also, no worry about scratches, I use regular favorites and also well-care for cookware, however, I did hand wash then dish washed all pans, pots, and tea pot, because I did not want old cooked on spots on fav pan bottom or sides to become active due to the new intense heat. Please do this if you use old favorites that are stained. I bought this to replace a coil stove because am selling the house but, did not want to put a cheap stove in; I want the new owner to enjoy this stove like I would not - hate it. I know I will get my $s in the sale, no new homeowner wants to go out and buy a new stove because they're so unhappy with what came with it. Yes, drawer is not as sturdy and smaller, so don't man handle it (lol) I use for cookie sheets and other flat cookware. It's also is a really nice looking stove, very large, my last stove cooktop was dinky compared to this, so cooking multiple dishes is so much better, stove is easy to use. Highly recommended.

Its three-speed fan lets you adjust the ventilation for efficient use. This Whirlpool range hood has LED lights for functional, long-lasting task lighting.
 

is it convertible to non-ducted operation? if yes, how does this recirculating option works?

This vent hood has two options, vent to inside which means the vent hood releases the air out the sides into the house OR hard wire installation. Since this is my 3rd range hood and I've used the dinky microwave "vent" which is really a fan, used no vent (ugh), or a non external vent, I'm picky about venting. Therefore, insistent on external hard wire vent installation. My vent hoods for 18 years all vent externally.

If you don't have the configuration there will have to be some configuration changes to get that ready beforehand for new install. This is covered in the manual too. Hope this is helpful.
