Product review (5 stars): Great vent with terrific Broan factory technical support.
Great range hood and very happy with it. Installation was difficult. It could be easier but the shelf above the cook top would not support 45 lbs safely so had to rebuild it. The ducting never quite fits perfectly if you are replacing an old one. And the electrical hook up is difficult enough I had to get an electrician. All other built in appliances I was able to do my self but not this one. Took 1/2 day not counting the electrician. But worth it.
If you are replacing an existing one and have any of the problems I mentioned--weak shelf, duct work not an exact fit or not very good with electrical wiring figure on anywhere from $100 to $300 for help in installation from a certified electrician and//or plumber or construction worker.
The electrician ran into a problem after wiring it. it kept blowing fuses. He had to trouble shoot it for quite a while. They both agreed on of the 2 circuit boards was defective, They not only sent free circuit boards but agreed to pay for the additional time the electrician spent trouble shooting which was substantial in terms of cost and also the cost of installing the new boards,. I have never had that good
an experience before with factory support, It was all done on just our word. They did not even ask for the defective boards back.
