Product review (4 stars): Great hood, but designed for 9' ceilings.
This is a very sturdy hood with powerful ventilation and good lighting. The screens come out easily for cleaning. It's quiet on low settings and beautifully made - a showpiece item in our kitchen.

There are two things to be aware of: On a standard 8-foot ceiling, this unit will only be about 24" above your counter. I wanted it higher, so our contractor ended up taking this to a metal shop to have it modified so we could get it 30" above the counter. Pretty clear this was designed for a 9' ceiling.

The other issue is that installation is difficult. The unit is very heavy and awkward. Our guys got it in, but it took a while.

Other than that, very nice unit.
