Great purchase!
Very nice quality - installed easily and really improved the kitchen over the old hood.
Lights are bright and the fan is so quiet that we had to look to see if it was running!
Wish we had changed to this on years ago!

Beautiful, Sleek and QUIET!!
We are re-modeling a kitchen and wanted a stainless steel look. We priced several models in various home stores, but were a little put off by the price. We saw this one and were a little leery of ordering sight-unseen, but the price was GREAT...so we jumped in. First, Delivery was IMMEDIATE from Amazon and I mean, (no kidding) NEXT DAY!! Wonderful! Second, the hood is as good and better than many we saw at far higher prices. It is sleek and well-made. The REALLY LARGE fan moves air and is extremely quiet. This is really an upscale look for our budget. Highly recommended.

Not the best build quality
Overall, not impressed. I have a 7" vertical pipe vent and while they include a damper for every other vent option, they tell you to go buy one for vertical pipe installs (along with the bulbs, which I at least knew about ahead of time). That's more of an inconvienence (HD didn't have one, installed without). The real annoyance came when I realized the fan didn't move freely within the hood. Ended up being the mounting bracket for the motor wasn't level. After straightening it (cheap metal), it at least spins now but since the plastic fan blade is also slightly warped there's still characteristic "off balance fan" noises at high speed. And since there was no damage to the box at all, I'm going to have to blame it on poor workmanship. Also, while the light output is quite good, since the front part of the vent doesn't really have a lip along the front to try to lead moisture to the fan intake.. we see a lot of steam rolling past the front even with the thing on high, or as...
