Product review (5 stars): Big Difference! Stainless Steel Hood
Buying a 40 year old house recently many things were out of date. The Range Hood that was installed in the house when we bought it was this gross beige color and to top it off caked with layers of oil and grease. We have completely updated the kitchen and in doing so have all nice stainless steel appliances, new flooring etc. This Range hood was really the last thing to change to bring the kitchen up to date.

Installation couldn't be easier I had my fiancee time me. With her help I had the new hood installed in 9 mins. Now as for it not being exactly 30 inches this is true. When i installed it I split the difference and you seriously don't notice a very small gap on each side. Unless your opening isn't really 30 inches and it a bit bigger I can see you having a problem. For my installation I can live with the unnoticeable gap on each side.

So far its been really easy to clean, and I would recommend this to anyone. Make sure your opening is truly 30 inches and you won't have any issues.
