Product review (4 stars): the vent stacks are like 3 ft long as is the mounting hardware
we had to cut it WAY down, the vent stacks are like 3 ft long as is the mounting hardware. The ceiling over this kitchen island is 7.5 ft so if we mounted with the available hardware we'd have to have it sitting on top of the stove. We cut it down and installed it after some time. It's really heavy too so it's an awkward install even for 2. Once in, it works well, the light is great if not a little TOO bright, it's quiet and powerful. People who say it's not quiet have no idea how most exhaust fans sound I'm guessing. I've worked in commercial kitchens for decades and it's close to the roar of an airplane most of the time. This is powerful for residential use and not 'whisper' quiet, but it wouldn't work if it was is my guess. I'd order it again for another house for sure. Both side operation is really great on an island as well. The remote seems a little silly, but it's there.
