Product review (5 stars): it looks great and everything works
I bought this hood in December and installed it recently. it looks great and everything works, the lights are very bright, and its very quite. One item that wasn't mentioned is that there are controls on both sides of the hood. maybe that is normal for an island hood?
I ended up hanging it as high as possible from my 8' ceiling which is 33" above the stove and 27" down from the ceiling. you will not be able to get the chimney on if you hang it higher. I also attached the brackets to the hood first, put the chimney on, and then mounted it to the ceiling bracket.  It is working perfectly right now and i hope it will last in the long run
