Product review (2 stars): Carelessly Assembled
My range hood arrived with the box in good condition, but the range hood did not. Out of the 12 welds that hold the back of the unit together, maybe 4 or 5 of them were good enough to hold the sheets of steel together. 4 of the welds did not hold at all. In addition, there was a dent on one of the corners of the hood. Since there was no damage to the shipping box that means the hood was dented before it was put in the box. But wait, there's more. I heard something rattling when I removed the hood from the box and discovered a loose nut rattling around inside the plastic housing that contains the control board. Good thing I checked before plugging it in. The nut would likely have shorted something on the electronics board. Once I properly assembled the board inside the housing I plugged the unit in and everything worked. Several days later, after finishing the installation, the unit would only work for a few seconds then shut off. The gas sensor was bad. Since we don't have any gas in the house I just unplugged it and everything works again. I contacted the seller about the gas sensor and they were very prompt and helpful. No problems with the seller. Based on the poor construction and assembly I have seen, I have doubts about how long this unit will last.
