" ... The installation process was a bit more complicated than I wanted, but that’s part of the process (and not related to the hood itself. ... "
" ... We feel the quality of this hood range is very good, but it was just a bit difficult to install. ... "
" ... Purchased after seeing it at my brother's house. ... "
" ... Hauslane 30" PS18 Under Cabinet Range Hood ... As recommended by Hauslane instructions, I tested the unit received prior to installation. ... Install them before installation, with the unit upside down – it’s easier that way. ... at least it’s easy to change the time. ... "
" ... I’ve done 2 kitchen remodels and purchased this for both! ... "
" ... However, as many others have stated, installation is effectively impossible without the following tools: ... Overall installation took about 7 hours, which is a long time, but I went in knowing that I would have to move slowly and steadily without losing my cool. ... "
" ... We have a recessed cabinet bottom so we followed the instructions and installed wood fillers which really helped with the installation. ... "
" ... My husband installed it himself. ... The fan itself was not a problem installing. ... "

" ... The filters a steal too, which is also great and like this flimsy filters you never get clean. ... "
" ... Beautiful- quiet and good suction on lowest settings. ... "
" ... I love the LED lights, the ease of cleaning and all the special features. ... "
" ... easy to clean, the power is beyond and the cleaning is easy ... "
" ... It works great, not suck cups up great but evacuates all the smoke we can make. ... "
" ... This hood has powerful suction at each setting. ... Not as noisy as other hoods and with its easy to remove and replace grate filters, it’s also a breeze to clean. ... No greasy screens! ... It also has a grease tray that catches drips and that is also easy to remove and clean. ... "
" ... Great suction power even at the lowest speed, and the noise isn’t too bad (it’s not silent, but it’s ok). ... "
" ... I like it, but I wish the suction did a better job. ... "

" ... Love the black stainless look and the hard lines. ... "
" ... You'll also need some aluminum tubing and a self-closing SS exhaust cover for outside wall. ... "
" ... Very well constructed. ... "
" ... Easy to remove and replace and small enough to fit easily in any dishwasher. ... "
" ... It is assembled with quality fasteners and the fan motors are high quality. ... The hood housing is well constructed also. ... "
" ... I then opened up the black box, tucked the push connectors in neatly and reclosed the box, with the Romex running directly inside. ... "
" ... It’s rests on three polished aluminum flat bars (1/4" x 1" x 11.5" on the sides & 30" wide in back), which are held onto the side cabinets with 10x24 stainless steel machine screws. ... I drilled a 1/4" hole into the side frame of each side cabinet – through the stainless steel fan body, removed said fan, and installed #8x24 “rivnuts” in those holes. ... The fan area is covered with a sheet metal double grille, which directs air into the fans only and protects the wiring and internal components from collecting grease. ... Things that reduce fan CFM: undersized ducting (e.g., 4" diameter), elbows, long runs, and more than one wind flap. ... "
" ... I used the shipping box as a shelf across the counter and the Styrofoam shipping braces as a lift. ... "

" ... It’s a lot louder than expected. ... "
" ... -It's very loud . ... Biggest gripe is noise. ... "
" ... The fan is not whisper quiet, although it is no louder than my old hood fan that moved only 20% of the air this fan moves. ... "
" ... It’s a little loud on high but it’s to be expected. ... "
" ... Bought this fan trusting it would be effective and immediately after a very tough ridiculous install one of the fans made a loud noise and stopped working. ... "

" ... I like the design of this vent for maintenance of the filters, they are very easy to remove and put in the dishwasher. ... This worked, and is more secure than with the screws they provided. ... I am happy with the vent hood but feel the design for installing needs changing. ... "
" ... We had to install an exhaust vent before which went pretty well. ... "
" ... It comes with a unique, versatile venting system designed to fit most ducts. ... "
" ... Before buying, I suggest cutting a piece of cardboard to it's dimensions and holding it where the vent would sit---you'll see what I mean. ... "
" ... It wasn't easy but with a helping hand, the right tools and mounting screws it is doable. ... "
" ... The vent install options are good and thankfully worked for what I had already. ... I am a little nervous about not having a mesh filter and what the vent will look like over time. ... "
" ... Instead of using 4 bolts and nuts and 8 larger washers from Home Depot to mount and secure the hood. ... To make the job easier, we recommend using the template and pre-drilled 4 holes to mount the hood. ... "
" ... Easy to remove and replace and small enough to fit easily in any dishwasher. ... "

" ... And since I replaced my old electric stove with one where the large burners are both up front which seems to be the new industry standard. ... I have one on my stove, my microwave, my smart device, etc. ... "
" ... We would routinely have our smoke detector go off when broiling a steak with the old unit. ... "
" ... I like to cook with all the spices. ... "
" ... I find that I only need to run it on the slowest speed to remove all cooking orders from my kitchen and totally love the timed shut-off of the fan & lights. ... "
