First of all it looks good. Installation wasn't too difficult, but you definitely need two people to bolt it up. Yes, I used bolts instead of screws as they were more practical for my kitchen set up. Even the first setting is more powerful than my previous over the range microwaves fan. It is also not loud, I can stand in front of it at 4th setting and still hold a conversation. We are still trying to decide what kind of backsplash we should install
