Product review (4 stars): Pleased with my purchase
This is just what I was hoping for. The unit is a replacement for a previous 20 year old hood and it fit perfectly into the old space. Even the mounting screws and the power cord were perfectly placed. All I had to do was disconnect the power cord, back out the old mounting screws enough to remove the old unit, get this new one out of the box and lift it into place. Then, after tightening the mounting screws again, it was hung in place and then I could connect the power again. It took me 15 minutes and now I have the rest of the weekend to enjoy. The fan is very quiet and, as others have said, there is a hum to the motor but the whole thing is half as loud as my old one. It also moves more air than the last one. The two light bulbs are a great improvement too since the stove area is much brighter. I like the rheostat for the fan settings. You don't just have low and high but anywhere in between too. Very pleased with the unit, price, delivery and, easy of installation. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a replacement of an old unit or a lower entry unit for a new kitchen.
