Product review (5 stars): Great Quality for the Price!
I installed this unit a couple of weeks ago and am very pleased with the look and performance.  It looks great and performs even better.  The halogen lights are positioned perfectly for cooking, the 4 speeds and "automatic" function work great.  I'm not sure why one would need a remote for a range hood like this, but it's a cool option.  I don't know the grade and gauge of stainless, but it's right up there.  This thing is built like a tank and you'll need another pair of hands to mount it!  Shipping was fast and when I contacted the GV store about a missing remote, they put one in the mail right away.  Some installation tips:
*I asked in the Q&A section about online installation instructions and there were none.  However, the directions that came with the unit are identical to the ones for Caveliere Hoods found at this link: [...] .... so I'd imagine this hood is branded by more than one company.
*It does come pre-wired, so all you need is a 120v outlet in the upper cabinet.
*It is *not* quite 30" wide, so you'll need to center it prior to mounting and there will be small gaps on both sides.
*Just like any non-domestic product, you may need to get some better mounting hardware than what is provided.  Take the time to set it up, figure out what you need and spend $8 on the local hardware store.  I picked up some larger stainless bolts, washers and nuts for the 4 mounting locations under the cabinet, then used the 2 bottom holes in the back with heavy-duty wall anchors - probably overkill on the back, but I did it for piece of mind.  They provide a wall-mount bracket, but it won't work if you're mounting this under an existing cabinet.
*Some people ask about reducing the 8" exhaust to 6" or even smaller.  If you're going to do that, why bother spending the $$ on a 900cfm hood if you're only going to get 400cfm out of it.  Save your $ and get something smaller.  They do provide you with an 8" flex duct, but I tossed that - best to stick with hard pipe to reduce friction and make it easier to clean in the future.
