Product review (5 stars): It works just as great as it looks!
I was renovating my kitchen and needed a new "island" range hood.  The previous vent hood that I had was only good from one side.  I saw this one and it looked perfect.  Rest assured that what you see is what you get - only it looks even better in my kitchen (see picture).
Sadly, I cannot give you many installation tips, because I had an expert installer put it in for me, who was an expert in all of the "trades", but I did watch and help a little.  The end result was more beautiful than I imagined. He did mention that the installation manual was vague, the picture on front didn't even match my model, and I think the instructions say to mount it to the sheetrock - which we didn't think was nearly sturdy enough.  It's a heavy, steel piece, so we came up with a new plan.  He built a wood box frame, with the thickness of three 2"x4"'s, and secured that in my attic, and attached my new range hood to it.  I could practically swing from it, now (but don't try that at home).  We also used almost all of our own screws - with the renovation going on, I had plenty of additional hardware and tools on hand.
Because my ceiling was lower (8ft) in the kitchen, our unit didn't need such a long "neck" - but the 2 steel rectangular sleeves that come with it are meant to be "nested", so we had to cut both pieces almost in half but, because my installer was an expert, he made it look great - as you can see by the picture!
If you must have something blocking your newly opened view (we tore down a wall, between the kitchen and living room), then it should be this beauty!
It has 4 well-placed lights, one on each corner, for "full food disclosure" - it really lights up my stove top!.  As a personal preference, I've already replaced my little lights with the LED white light version of the bulbs, because I like more white light and less yellow light - purely my choice - but I wanted people to know that replacement bulbs are easy to find.  I bought them right off the shelf at my local hardware store, in the specialty lighting area.
All 4 speed settings of the fan work great and, of course, the higher the setting, the noisier the fan - but the more vacuum power you'll get, for getting rid of the smoke (not that I ever burn anything)(maybe once or twice) (a month).  The lower speeds are pretty quiet compared to my old "hoody".
My old vent hood had knobs and it had 3 speeds, 1). noisy, 2). super noisy, 3). noisiest...I SAID NOISIEST!
This one is a touchscreen and I really like it.  It looks super clean and modern and it is everything I expected and more.  I would highly recommend this!
