Product review (4 stars): The focal point of your kitchen
This thing is beautiful.  Over the last couple years, we have been replacing our "builders grade" white appliances with stainless.  We debated on whether to go with an "over the stove" microwave or a range hood.

We finally opted for the range hood and eventually landed on this one.

It looks great!

With the way it is constructed, this shown ALOT of steel from the front.  That's great!  It makes the whole stove area look modern and really frames things out as the focal point of the kitchen.

A couple words of warning.  First, I LOVE the look of the halogen bulbs but order them from amazon.  I had to replace one already and at the local Sears store, they were asking $22 for just one halogen bulb!!!!

The next word of warning is buy a pair of work gloves.  Sheet metal will shred your hands if not careful.

For us, our non-ducted installation was a breeze (or would have been if not for the shoddy construction practices of our builder).

Ducted installation seemed a bit more involved but for us, it was really mostly a matter of removing the parts we DIDNT need!

The wiring that fed our old range hood worked great!  I reused the old strain relief grommet and - something my dad would have frowned upon - reused the old wire nuts too!  From there it was just connecting white to white and black to black with the wire nuts and attaching the bare ground wire with a screw!

Just physically Mounting the hood proved the more challenging part.  For us, the holes they provided for mounting didn't line up with anything to screw it to.  So, after fussing with it for a while, I finally gave up and decided to do it the right way!  A couple scrap 1x3's screwed to the underside if the cabinetry gave plenty of mounting surface.  From then on it was easy.

Finally - and embarrassingly- (I'm putting this last so hopefully no one reads it)

Remove the knobs from your stove.  Can't tell you how many times I accidentally turned on the gas just by leaning over the knobs.

And finally - and heartbreakingly - as you are mounting the new hood, lay a piece of cardboard or something over the stove.

They tell you to do this in the instructions, but I thought it was to protect the STOVE.  Turns out, stove grates can scratch up Stainless Steel pretty well.

Now, although the hood still looks great(!) all I'm going to see are the scratches we left.  :-(
