" ... Also, even the fans come out for cleaning. ... "
" ... One year and going strong - Good suction - tolerable noise - happy with the self-cleaning function. ... Hint: use 10 drops of dish washing liquid for the full jar of water in the pouring container provided along with the hood. ... Regular use of it after heavy cooking once a day seems to keep the fans grime free. ... "
" ... Cleaning is not bad. ... "
" ... Now, I'm very satisfied that this hood keeps clean. ... "
" ... I love the suction and the 2 fans used to evacuate the cooking odors. ... "
" ... I love Chef Rangehood, I own this for a couple of months now, now my kitchen air looks clean, my cabinets are not getting grease, i love the auto-clean feature, it is really helpful to eliminate the grease. ... "
" ... Actually, the output vent is on a patio and I can see leaves/dust blow around outside when I have this on high. ... Fairly simple and standard install and clean looks. ... "
" ... Way cool self cleaning hood ... "

" ... A new one was sent for me to replace ( had to literally take the hood apart to do this) and now it broke again. ... It is a plastic screw mount that breaks after repeated pushes. ... "
" ... this had damage in packing as the grease rings were broken. ... "
" ... There was cracks on fan cover when it was received. ... "
" ... First unit looked like someone dropped kicked it into the box and had a huge dent on the fascia. ... "
" ... Looks to me somewhere the circuitry is broken. ... "
" ... Also, it is NOT ALL stainless steel. ... The front that covers the control panel is black plastic. ... That cracked in 2 places recently also. ... "
" ... The grease cup holder came broken (see pic). ... "
" ... Be careful if your opening is exactly 30 inches because while the body of the unit is just under 30”, there were two brackets on the back that are each probably an 1/8” thick. ... "

" ... The only drawback is the lower panel does not fit well when I reinstall back into the top unit. ... I have to use longer screws in the back just to close the backside up. ... "
" ... After a lot of wrestling with parts that didn’t seem to fit together quite properly and definitely not easily (I’m an engineer), I finally got it installed. ... "
" ... Also, they sent a replacement for the broken grease cup holder. ... The grease cup holder came broken (see pic). ... "
" ... The cover for the light is only attached by a screw on the left side which has resulted in the right side drooping very slightly which causes the slight vibrations of the unit to produce a rattling sound as the right side of the cover bounces up and down and hits the bottom of the unit. ... Be careful if your opening is exactly 30 inches because while the body of the unit is just under 30”, there were two brackets on the back that are each probably an 1/8” thick. ... "
" ... Thirdly is ability to attach the unit to the cabinet, the rear keyhole slot are very difficult to get at if your hands are large. ... Magnets would stick to real stainless steel but it will stick to this one. ... To install I used a 1x4 "T" brace to hold the unit in place so my hands would be free. ... "
" ... We had to unscrew the bottom panels and that is where we found the loose screw just rolling around. ... "
" ... The fascia panel screw holes did not line up closely on reinstall no matter how I maneuvered it. ... Overall happy with the performance and looks but it could be quieter and mounts a little more accessible. ... "
" ... Particularly, we spent almost one hour to put last piece (bottom cover) since the screws are not lineup. ... "

" ... Auto clean is the best. ... "

" ... The self-clean feature and the light would be better placed further to the sides so the fan on/off and speed buttons stood separately, but that's my only complaint. ... "

" ... Fit and finish are very nice, buttons are a little hard to push but not bad. ... "
" ... The three speed buttons were doing absolutely nothing. ... It is either that, or the factory has no quality control and they are installing the wrong control module. ... "
