Quiet and good looking
By ArtTee
My handyman installed this without incident. The appearance is sleek and modern, complementing a stainless range. The fan is not tool loud and works well for the rear burners. One feature that is a bit disconcerting is that it exhausts some air from the top of the hood to cool the light bulbs. It makes me wonder if this is why it captures less fumes than I would like from the front of the stove.

UPDATE 12/05/09 FIVE stars!***** Based on advice in the first comment on my review, I had the installation checked, and in fact, the baffle was diverting part of the exhaust from the duct to the top front vents, as though it were a ductless installation. Now there is no more exhaust air at all coming out of the top front vents. I did a smoke test, and the hood now draws from the front burner area. This hood, properly installed, works as well as it looks--and that is saying a lot. Check R. Parkinson's comment for advice on correct installation of the baffle.

Fan works great on ONE side--shipping was excellent
By Wojo
Exhaust fan looks great, but I'm a little disappointed that the fan motor is only on one side instead of in the middle. The exhaust pulls great on the left side of the stove, but not as good on the right and the detailed instructions with the exhuast fan even tell you that the right side will not exhaust as well as the left. I wish this fact was also included in the description of the product. If so, I may have bought another brand. If you are installing this fan, make sure you take off the section on the front where the lights are mounted which will gain you better access to installing the exhaust fan under the cabinet. The instructions do not tell you this and if you take that part off before you start installing, it's a lot easier. We found this out too late after my husband had screwed in the back part to the under cabinet. Make sure you order the halogen lights which add so much to the brightness of the cooking area. The product arrived so quickly we were ple asantly surprised when it arrived in only a couple of days. Item was well packed and arrived without any dings or dents. All in all, this is a good exhaust fan. When it is running on low or medium, there is very little noise. As expected it is a little more noisy on the high level. I wish there was a button to light up over the brightness level buttons on the lights, since you have to push that brightness level button you are using to cut off the light. I guess after some use I'll get acclimated to which level of brightness the lights are on and not have to stop and try to decide which button to push to get the light off. This is not a major problem however.

irritating fan noise
By howhoo
We've now had this range hood for about 6 months and yes it's pretty to look at, nice halogen lights and all, and it seems generally functional, but the most annoying thing I must say is that the exhaust fan will turn on by itself when the Advance Heat Sentry Technology detects heat and it cannot be turned off manually AT ALL! So this noisy fan must continually run in your kitchen until it decides it's safe to shut itself off, my god it's unbearable, my wife says it's like water torture. It stays on for hours, it grates on you, and we absolutely hate it. You can't even set it on a lower fan speed, nothing stops the incessant noise from the higher fan speed and you can't shut it off. If you buy this product beware- you have been forewarned.
