" ... It fit perfectly into the existing cabinet space. ... The exhaust matched up perfectly to the existing rectangular hole, and I could even reuse the same four screws to attach the hood to the cabinet. ... "

" ... Missed ducted step that said install plastic piece to block out put. ... Had to add screws in front edge to close gap visible at eye level. ... Metal fiber filter fan too flimsy and easily gets deformed and restricts fan blades from rotating. ... "
" ... the plastic plate covering ductless louvers does not fit and will not stay in place . ... it also is a generic cheap plastic, probably same one for all finishes . ... "
" ... Thin gauge steel and poor packaging. ... "
" ... broke soon after installing ... "
" ... When I unboxed item I noticed a buckle in the metal in the rear left corner. ... Because it's not seen, and i had already discarded my old range hood, I was able to use a rubber mallet and flatten it enough for installation. ... Then after installation and removing the blue protective film off of the front of the hood, I discovered a small dent. ... It appears that I purchased a scratch and dent hood but was not told that. ... "
" ... The product looks nice, but it's cheaply made, it doesn't even come with mounting hardware. ... "
" ... Came with dent in sheet metal but towards the back. ... "

" ... Looks very nice in our condo renovation. ... "
" ... This was an excellent replacement for the 20+ yr old decrepit range hood in older house. ... "
" ... We purchased our 1980’s ranch style home almost ten years ago and when we bought the house all of the appliances were 1990’s white, including the Broan range hood. ... "
" ... We (mostly) redid our kitchen last year. ... The house was built in the 70’s and has never been remodeled, so we still had the wood-looking laminate cabinets, laminate countertops, laminate flooring, black over range microwave, etc. ... Very dark since the kitchen is in the middle of the house. ... "
" ... This exhaust fan is identical to the one I had last house. ... "

" ... Now all i gotta do is the cabinets and stove! ... "
" ... I liked the thought of not having to duck down to see what I’m cooking on the back burner, so we started looking into range hoods. ... I probably installed it in March or April 2017, and have used it every day to cook since (I like the additional light when I cook on the stove). ... I haven’t burned anything yet to where there is actual smoke that needs to be sucked out, but I cook exclusively with cast iron, and whenever I cook steak or fry some chicken, there is some smoke that comes up, but sucks right out. ... I mostly use the fan for when I’m making pasta and boiling the noodles (which is at least once a week). ... "
" ... It’s great for everyday mild cooking but when you throw a chicken on a hot cast iron, your house will fill with smoke and you know that fire alarm is going to go off. ... "
