Product review (4 stars): Looks great, but install takes some effort
Once installed it looks as good as hoods that are twice the cost, but.... the complaint in many cases with such items it that the knock-outs for configuring it to vent back or up are too flimsy and compromise the structural integrity of the whole hood. That is NOT the issue here, quite the opposite, the knockouts are held in place by numerous connects that are almost 3/8 inch of the hefty stainless that makes up the body of the hood. The instructions to use a flat bladed screwdriver to just pop these are simply useless, it's immediately obvious that using the largest screwdriver you may own, you will severely bend the body of the hood attempting this, with no success. Not enough clearance to easily get a metal jig saw blade in there.. the required tool is something like a Dremel or a Fein cutter. Lacking one of those, tedious multiple careful attacks with a utility knife and new blades on each of the connects will, eventually allow you to break these. After that, install is straightforward and once installed you will probably be as happy as I am.
