Powerful, fairly quiet, nice lights, easy installation. It's got a cool feature where you can press the power button while the fan is running, and it will run for about a minute and shut itself off automatically--both the fan and lights. Nice if you're done cooking but want to make sure any residual grease/steam in the air is pulled outside. You can also press the power button twice to immediately shut off both the fan and lights, or single press the fan/light buttons to shut them off individually. Cute little feature.
I was also able to install it under a soffit by only using half the chimney. This worked perfectly and looks great.
Only issue I have with installation is the part where the instructions say to install bumpers behind the body of the unit, which spaces it about a half inch away from the wall, then tells you to mount the chimney directly to the wall. I verified this with the manufacturer. Unfortunately, this would cause the unit to be tilted, so the only solution is to remove and throw away the bumpers.
This does not seem to affect the unit in any way, but it is very strange that they would include them pre-installed on the unit, then make you take them off and throw them away.. Joseph. Hackettstown, NJ. 2021-12-08 11:22:55
