Product review (5 stars): Nice sleek, clean-looking, functional hood for the money
We upgraded to stainless appliances and didn't want to deal with a microwave-hood, so started searching Amazon for the hood.  I don't understand all the review chatter about how quiet the motors are on hoods... IT'S A VENT HOOD, PEOPLE!  If it's not making noise, you're probably setting off your fire alarms.  That said, this unit makes the appropriate amount of noise when its running, and we haven't set off the alarm while cooking since I installed it.

My installation vents into the wall behind the hood, and the instructions were clear enough for me to hook up to the old opening with no issues.  Our previous builder-grade almond hood was installed makeshift, with screws angled in the corners of the housing into the cabinets with nothing holding it to the underside of the cabinets above.  The instructions show you how to shim under the cabinets if there is a recess underneath them, so you can attach it securely.

I agree with other reviewers and recommend installing the two halogen bulbs before you hang the unit under your cabinets.  This one is a winner!
