Product review (2 stars): No guts, no vent...please.
I purchased this piece because of the raving reviews and now I'm questioning any review that I read. Am I missing something? I stand at my cooktop under a 24" cabinet with unit attached and stare into all of the unsightly mechanics of the piece. I see where other units have a base covering to avoid this issue but unless I'm missing that piece, it did not come with one. It doesn't matter how efficient the unit is if you feel like you are in a boiler room when using it. It is totally distracting. The noise level is NOT moderate under any circumstance and my unit arrived in a box  that looked is if it went through a war zone. I am not a happy cooker.
