Product review (2 stars): Looks nice, that's where it ends.
Bought this to replace a 14 year old Broan hood that replaced another Broan hood.

During the installation I was just a hair away from throwing the hood in the dumpster. I was extremely disappointed that for the price the mounting provisions weren't any better thought out better that their cheap hoods or the 14 year old hood it replaced. After that much time I would expect some product improvement. The screws provided were too short and couldn't support the weight of the hood, I had to provide my own screws. The top of the hood is flimsy and the screws pull themselves through the key slots easy. The key slots themselves are too short to aid in either top or rear vent applications because you can't pre-install the screws and then hang the hood.

On top of it all the top vent is located different than my other Broan hood, so I had to cut the hole in the cabinet larger. After that of course it doesn't line up with my ducting so I have to redo that also. I can't believe they can't standardize on the exit duct location on all their products.

As someone else said, this hood is not the full 30" wide as it says and it does leave a gap.

The only redeeming quality of this hood is that it looks really good once installed, and that's the only reason for not giving it one star.

If I had one thing to say to Broan it would be; hire some decent engineers! Actual fire your engineer's managers, because they obviously have no vision. Its a sheet metal cover with a couple of fans and lights, not that complicated. Can't you put some innovations into the design of mounting and service ability rather than continue to perpetuate decades old poor designs? I'm extremely disappointed and Broan and if they had any real competition they'd be out of business in a heartbeat.
