We have had this range hood installed for over two years now. It’s quiet, effective, and relatively easy to keep clean (it’s nice that the filter mesh fits into the dishwasher!).
The only downsides so far have been a couple of quality issues. The light cover cracked when we installed it (even though we were careful not to overtighten the screw). The little red plastic cover for the power-on indicator has popped off a couple of times when I’ve reached to turn off the fan without looking (so, user error?). And, finally, the downdraft protection recently came loose; I’m not sure why the plastic gave up, if it was an installation problem or a quality issue. We pulled it out and haven’t replaced it, because we’re not sure how much we have to take apart to do the work (we had a contractor install it for us).
We’re still happy with the way the range hood looks, and it performs pretty well for something that is hundreds of dollars cheaper than anything else of a similar style.
