4.0 out of 5 stars Stylish and sleek March 3, 2011

Stylish and sleek is my first response, the stainless steel matte finish on glass would go nice in any kitchen, the fan works superbly at all three speeds, and though it's not the quietest fan, it certainly isn't the loudest. The four LED lights although not as bright as I expected (not bright enough to cook by) does cast a soft glow in the dark and serves as a decent night light. Because this range vent has an adjustable height setting it can work with most ceiling heights, personally I preferred to install the vent at a height just above the top of my head so it wouldn't interfere with the view of the living room, and this required some modifications (cutting down) of the stainless steel. Overall, at almost half the cost of comparable range vents, I am very pleased with the finish product. Would definitely recommend this vent hood!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great value! June 9, 2011

Bought this after looking for a while, both online and at local stores. Everything I found was at least twice the price of this one, so I was not expecting much, honestly, but I am impressed. The instructions are not clear, written by a non-english speaker, and it will take you some common sense of your own to install this, plus at least one or maybe two buddies to help, but our vent hood looks and works great. Oh - btw the lights are pretty useless, they look nice but don't give you a lot of working light. But that's not a problem for me, our kitchen has plenty of light anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, bad instructions. March 13, 2012

By Jacinta

As others have mentioned, this hood is a good value -- looks good, not overly cheap in materials or workmanship, etc. I'm glad I bought it, especially at an under-$500 price.

The negative is mainly the installation instructions, which are hilariously incomplete in hindsight. Also... a bit dangerous. This is a pretty heavy piece of equipment, and the instructions (in Chinglish) tell you to use drywall anchors to mount the top plate against the ceiling! In other words, don't bother looking for a ceiling joist or putting in any custom framing, just drive these expanding anchors into the ceiling and screw them in! Absolutely dangerous -- there is no way those anchors would hold this thing securely: it takes two guys to lift the unit up while a 3rd puts in the screws. Drywall anchors would pull out in less than 2 seconds.

I added framing above the ceiling level, and big wood screws through the top plate, and it's pretty secure.

Another caveat: the instructions specify that you should drop the upper cover inside the inner cover (like a telescope), and then mount the unit to the ceiling plate. If you do that, you're screwed -- because there is no way to reach inside the top of the assembly and pull the inner cover up when you're done, which is what you need to do in order to screw it in. Fortunately, I experimented on the ground first and realized that, and added some baling wire pulls to the process so that I could get the inner cover up during installation.

Since others are succeeding to install the thing, I have to assume that pretty much anybody who takes this on is at least an experienced handyman. Don't do it if you're not going to find solid support for the unit, or aren't comfortable with techniques to shim everything level, etc. If you're a good DIY-er, this is a decent unit and a solid value. Just burn the instructions when you get it.
