Great product for the price but not for the novice DIYer. Lots of shortcomings but still looks great and highly functional. I needed to vent this outside because we cook a lot and we were tired of the smoke, grease, and moisture all over the kitchen. The six inch duct is rediculously large so I reduced it down to 4”, not to mention I refuse to cut a six inch hole for the exhaust. I have vinyl siding on the exterior and the available waterproof adapter plates with built in channels only support about a 4” vent pipe. A six inch hole would have been very inefficient energy-wise and it was more difficult to find the venting hardware and pipe than anything else. Because I reduced the vent pipe size, I get vibration issues when I turn the fan onto the medium speed so I only use high or low and no issues. It vents well but there are no actual filter in the decorative screens which might present a future problem. The lights are LED soft daylight, which are not great but work well enough. I did receive the hood quickly but there were some blemishes on the chimney stack so I called customer service and they replaced it. I asked for a missing bracket but they failed to send that. The initial order came quickly but not the replacement parts. As you can see from the picture, the chimney is about five inches too short for a 9’ ceiling, even fully extended. I mounted the hood 32” above the cooking surface because I needed an even number of rows of tile to add. I only had one box of spare tile - not enough, otherwise I would have raised the hood to a full 36” and just trimmed the last inch or two to reach the ceiling. A 4-1/8” hole saw will cost a bit but I could not even find a 6” reasonably priced - for onetime use? I framed in an added 2” to the existing wall so that the hood would protrude out more than 19” because the front Burners of my stove are 26-27” from the way and one of the reasons we used this hood to replace our over the range microwave, which was worthless at venting internally. I do not recommend using a hood to vent internally, just seems pointless unless you just want it for a particular look rather than function. I hope the fan motor lasts a really long time - very effective at removing smoke, stream, and grease from the cooktop.
We are installing this right now and I wanted future buyers to be aware that the height of this model of range hood is NOT 41.7" as stated in the diagram in the book or at the website. We were working with around 9 1/2 foot ceilings and while this will still work it will look awkward. The actual dimensions are slightly less than 41" tall with very little if any overlap of the inner and outer chimney. We will now have to hang it higher than I would like it. I will update when we have in installed and operating.
Arrived on time. A good indication it is filtering properly is that after just over a month of use the exposed parts of the grills have grease but the inside is squeaky clean. To compensate for my really low ceiling I cut a rectangle hole the size of the duct cover and extended the duct cover a few inches into the attic.
Everything is great... except to turn it on low fan you have to first push med or high the back to low. If you push low first it goes on high. Very odd but still worth the money. The add makes it seem like it comes with the filters.. you have to by the carbon filters separate $20 at depot

I am happy with this purchase. I have a small kitchen and the smoke and grease used to get everywhere. My smoke detector in the other room used to go off every time i cooked anything and the top of my fridge used to be coated in grease. I think it works great for pulling the smoke and grease out of the air.
Very pleased with purchase of wall mount vent hood. Very good price, easy to install and looks as nice as units costing many times more. Cannot report on the longevity of it, but hopefully will provide many years of service. Would purchase again.
Great price and looks good in our kitchen. High speed is a little loud, but does a good job extracting smoke from our gas stovetop.
Great price, great product. If installed properly, it doesn’t do the things mentioned in other reviews (such as wobble/vibrate). For the price, it gets 5 stars.
This range is very strong.....
