I bought this range hood about one month ago and my wife and I are very happy with it. The design is sleek and looks great alongside our other GE appliances. I cannot speak to the ease of installation since we had a handyman install the unit, but the end result looks great and fits very well with our cabinets. We also really like the two light settings. During operation, even at the highest fan setting, I find that the noise level does not bother us while we're in the kitchen. Overall, I would highly recommend this range hood!
