Product review (5 stars): Great Value!
We purchased this item after searching extensively for an exhaust fan that wouldn't cost us an arm and a leg. If you've looked, you know that island range hoods are ridiculously priced! Plus, we needed something that did not need a direct vent, as our ceiling beams were going in the wrong direction and were blocked by a chimney. Our electrician did not have a problem installing this. I had very good and prompt communication with AKDY regarding a couple questions I had. It looks very nice above my stove! The only "complaint" I do have is that the lighting that is on the fan is very dim. Not really enough to use as a lighting source, but just for decoration. I probably would have had additional lighting installed in the ceiling above my work area around the stove if I'd have known that. Not knowing, I thought the additional lighting would be overkill. Oh, well.  All in all, a great value.
