Product review (4 stars): Solid and works great, though lights are just for decoration
We put this in with our new kitchen cabinets and appliances. All in all, it's quite a deal. The fan is powerful and effective, and smooth running. The stainless steel is solid, as is the general construction. The lights, as everyone has commented, are a joke. Just for decoration really. Don't know how easy it would be to replace them as they are LEDs and in a sealed container.

The contractor had to get the upper sleeve trimmed down at a metal shop in order to fit our low (91-inch) Cape-style ceilings. I wanted the lowest part of the hood to be at least 69 inches off the ground to avoid collisions with my forehead. So some trimming was necessary.  It contains a much more powerful fan (turbo-style) for far less money than the ones sold by the big-name appliance makers. And with a little ingenuity I think this hood can be adapted to almost any situation. The fan has a very smooth sound, and electronic controls are nice too. There are 3 clearly marked speeds. If you hit the off button, it gives you a 1-minute delay before turning off.  If you want it off right away, hit the speed-button that you used to turn it on, or hit the off-button twice. Very simple and intuitive. The stainless steel is solid, but the usual pain in the A to keep clean. (Glad we got the new Smudge-proof stainless finish on our Frigidaire appliances. It shows a lot less fingerprints.)

I would have preferred a slightly less space-age style, but I didn't see anything more appropriate. We got cherry cabinets in a deep red/brown wood  finish and stainless appliances for a kind of mixed traditional/modern style. Maybe the similar AKDY model with the flat glass would have  worked better . . . Should'a, could'a, would'a.  That's my refrain for the first 6 to 8 months on all home improvement projects. After a year I get used to it, and wonder why I ever wanted anything different. Same with new clothes.
