Product review (4 stars): Fabulous, beautiful and worth it!
The seven most difficult words in a marriage made easier by the quality and looks of this product. We had no idea how this "huge thing" would look hanging in the middle of our kitchen, but there was no other place where the stove would work and there was no way we would have a stove without a hood.
While I ordered it elsewhere (a kitchen fan specialty site) the delivery and shipping was as efficient as any I have ever received from AMAZON and the product is beautiful, but falls one star short because of the effort involved in installation, as even the pros I hired to do it took a couple of days to get it in place. Now I will say it is PERFECTLY centered and operates beautifully. Since I have NO experience with other hoods, I cannot say this was unusually long or not.
The end result is magnificent and I am so glad that in a project which cost as much as a kitchen renovation, we did not skimp or cut corners on something as vital and obvious as the hood unit.

Oh yeah, the seven words?
