Install problems

Morris 32 11/18/2019

the side brackets for a 30 inch cabinet will not work. the hood is 26 inches wide. So if put the bracket as told on inside flush the space between the two bracket are more than 26 inches. I have seen other reviews to add shims . which I will do. plus will have to cut the bracket at the back to make them fit to go up into the cabinet. This is so uncalled for your company to design it to have to do all these things to fix. Maybe you have put brackets for a 36 inch cabinet in the 30 inch box. I am not one to complain. This is to help you all to fix the problem. I will call when I finish this to see if you have a bracket that will work

Great Appliance!

Peter35 5/20/2019

We bought this hood about 5 weeks ago. I installed it, alone--84 yrs old. It fought me all the way due to confusing installation man. We love it to bits! Beautiful, easy to use and clean, quiet, and works really well. Extremely pleased!

Poor instalation instructions

CB 1947 5/2/2019

Product is great the installation manual for those of us who don't do this type of work all the time, is horrible. No mention of the need to shim the sides of the 30 inch cabinet. No illustration in the manual of the installed unit shimmed.

Love it!

UtahGal 3/18/2019

There is nothing not to like about this hood. It's modern and works really well. We have it vented to the outside, so no more smoke in the kitchen. We had a really difficult hood set-up to replace and this was just what we needed. Highly recommend.

It took 3 months to get it installed and working

Terry 73 2/7/2019

I would shop around more before buying this again...two difficult service trips to replace circuit boards and another to replace a different board.

Love the Light!

Nabat O. 1/15/2019

I love the LED light - so bright. The ease of cleaning the filters and the different settings of the fan are really good features. Fan is so quiet compared to what I had before.
