I bought this vent as a replacement for an older over-the-stove vent/hood when swapping out my kitchen appliances from white to stainless. I live in Hawaii where it's hot and humid and don't have a duct system, so it's been necessary to have this while cooking—it efficiently whisks away cooking steam, even if it doesn't actually funnel it up and out of the house.

My biggest complaint was with installation, which the box promised would be quick and easy—not so much. My husband and I struggled to install with bolts that, once in place, felt too small and kept falling out of their assigned holes. The hood is securely fashioned, but we ended up leaving some of the more stubborn bolts out of the mix.
