Product review (4 stars): Effective but lights are dim and instructions are useless
Like many others have said, we wish the light was brighter and the instructions are note helpful and not very clear.  That being said, we read other reviews for pointers on installation which was honestly a pain.  I don't think installation was a pain specific to this range hood...I think any range hood would have been a pain to install but maybe the directions would have actually been helpful.

It took my husband and I about 2 days to install since we could only work in short bursts because of work and other committments.  We needed that extra day to figure out the parts we would need to buy from our local hardware store.  We didn't use the hardware that came with it because this would not have supported the unit in our kitchen so my husband bought bolts so we would know it would be secure.

We replaced a microwave/vent unit from the place we installed this range hood.  In terms of effectiveness, this is a far superior unit to the one we removed - it actually sucks smoke and food odors out which the other one failed to do.  All in all, we like the product but wish the instructions were clearer and that the lights could be brighter.
