Product review (1 stars): This range hood worked fine but the install took a pro electrician
I must say that having paid more than $1250 for this Kobe range hood I expected to have 0 issues with it. This range hood worked fine but the install took a pro electrician, carpenter and myself. It is extremely heavy and the instructions were poorly written even for two pros to figure out. But after 6 months (into the 2 yr. warranty)Then we began having electrical problems. First two of the four the LED lights started flickering severely like a strobe and eventually stopped working. That's when the trouble started.  A new elecric part was ordered and they paid to have that installed. Then two more started flickering and after some constant effort we had the images of the rusted electrical part sent by the repair co. to the manufacturer in CA they finally agreed to send us a new unit except we would have to pay for the install this time, which I don't understand. After all it's not my fault they couldn't fix the electric problem with one repair. The fact that all 4 light couldn't be repaired by replacing one electric panel is their issue not mine. Also the reinstall was to be done using a certain method which the installer would have to study. So I'm thinking a new replacement unit would be manufactured in exactly the same way and the probability of having similar issues seems high. So now we have decided to go with a different maker. The repairmen also said Kobe hoods were not a brand that they had been trained to repair. So I guess it's a hit and miss with Kobe.
