We've had this wall mount hood for nearly 3-months, and are overall very happy with the product. Our last hood was extremely loud, and this one is very quite. It's hard for us to believe that it's working, but it is! No fire alarms have gone off when we are using extreme heat. The remote is also nice a nice feature. They one thing we are trying to understand is how to prevent the touch buttons from flashing. It happens every now and then when my husband doesn't turn it off, and the oven is no longer on. Another note, the big box stores will not install this. You'll need to hire a professional to detach your old hood, and install your new hood. Make sure you have the right supplies for installation as well.
