Product review (5 stars): Fortunately this model has both horizontal and vertical exhaust options
We had to do a lot of research to find out a suitable hood that would fit into our kitchen and would not require a major hose work. Most of the models have a vertical vent option. Fortunately this model has both horizontal and vertical exhaust options. We wanted the new hood to fit nicely under the cabinets (and sandwiched between cabinets on either side), which it did very nicely. This hood did not require any movement of the existing cabinets and the exhaust vent fitted very nicely with our existing outlet without disturbing the electrical outlets. The LED lights provide very bright light and illuminate the stove and the surrounding area. The exhaust fan is very powerful and can expel the strongest of the smokes and odors very quickly. It has a variable speed setting to adjust according to your needs. The sound is not too distracting if you operate the exhaust at the lowest level. The only downside (if you consider it) is that the switches are hidden from the view so you have to reach out inside (my wife is ok with that) The stainless steel finish is very nice and allows for easy cleaning.  Overall it is a very nice product at  a reasonable price and is strongly recommended.
