Product review (5 stars): Excellent hood to compliment your stainless appliances
This was a great replacement for our less attractive (white) Kenmore hood once we bought all new stainless appliances. The 3-stage lighting is beautiful and though the lights do put off some heat, it's not enough to warrant finding cooler bulbs that don't look nearly as nice.

The Advanced Heat Sentry system that automatically turns on the fan when it senses an abundance of heat can easily be disconnected so you don't have to tolerate the noise during dinner/conversation (it's pretty obvious which cable to unhook from the "motherboard"). You may or may not want to do this depending on your cooking style/location of hood in relation to dinner table or conversation area. The fan can run for a while until the cooktop/oven area has cooled which can be pretty annoying if you want peace and quiet with your meal - there's no way to turn it off yourself unless you disconnect the sensor. Word of caution: the manufacturer suggests that the AHS system can prolong the life of the hood, so decide for yourself if you want to turn off this feature by disconnecting the sensor.

Installation wasn't too bad for a 1-man job since I was replacing a ducted hood to begin with. If you take your time to perfectly measure where the hanging screws go, it's going to make your life a lot easier.

Overall, a great compliment to your existing stainless appliances that will give you excellent exhaust and a nice updated look.
