Product review (2 stars): expensive, quality could be better
The hood works but it is very noisy. However, the mounting assembly screws, anchors, etc. were totally inappropriate to this task. I would used them for hanging a small and light picture at most, they are narrow and about half inch long. Also the chimney is kinda crappy. It does not really hold properly. If you do not touch it, you do not see it, but it actually does not hold in place. Also, I needed to extend the chimney by about 2". The extension part turned out to be even worse then the main chimney. There is super crappy way how to mount it to the ceiling by a tiny screw. Because of its nature it is impossible to tie it tightly, so there is about a 1/4 or more gap between the ceiling and the chimney. If it did not take that much time to mount it (hours) I would return it.
Also, the power is supposed to be quite good, 500 CFM. I would expect it to really sucks but it is doing more noise than anything else. You cannot really feel any suction although it seems to do the job and there is not much smell after cooking.
I have not had a chance to clean the grid yet (maybe if it sucked more) but the grid is easy to take out. The light is also good and strong enough.
Cons: difficult to assemble, loose chimney, noisy, expensive.
Pros: it works, grid comes off easily, strong light
