Product review (5 stars): Fantastic Bargain
This stainless range hood fit seamlessly. It was easy to install (as installations go) and it looks good!

We don't see the "flimsy construction" that others have cited. Also, it really isn't more noisy, compared to other non-venting hoods. If you aren't used to very basic carpentry or in making electrical connections, then you'll have to hire a professional, but that's true with any range hood.

The hood comes with four mounting screws that should be sufficient for most installations. For cabinets with recessed bottoms, like ours, you may have to provide / install some small, wood frames to mount the hood (we did). The electrical access is at center-right. Our old hood's entry was far-left, so we extended the circuit by adding a length of Romex cable, connected to the original circuit with wire nuts and high temperature electrical tape. Again, this could happen with any new range hood.

Even with the wood framing and the circuit extension, this required about two hours of actual installation work (two people, one mostly holding a flashlight because THE CIRCUIT HAS TO BE DEAD while you're installing the hood and making the connections). Our additional costs were less than $10 for items like brackets and screws for the wood framing. Your additional costs may vary, depending on items like wood, wire nuts and electrical tape.

Yes, it was a project, but a minor one. We did most of it on a Monday evening. And for $80?

For $80 and a Monday evening, you get a great-looking range hood by a respected brand-name.

We think that's an excellent bargain.
