Product review (4 stars): Needs a re-design of the power connection
My only beef with the design is that it should be designed to hard wired to the power source instead of a standard wall outlet plug. So because there was no accommodation inside the cabinet with an electrical box, our electrician wired an outlet right inside the stack area which made it necessary to route the vent pipe around the plug. Not a clean install. It also prevented me from using rigid steel ducting for the exhaust. So right above the actual outlet for the range hood, the flexible accordion style (plastic - flammable - melt-able)pipe makes a jog around the plug. You think that's going to become a grease trap? I do. That is the only reason I did not give it a 5 star review. The unit functions perfectly and is a very sleek and clean design. I really like its appearance and function. I have ordered some MR11 LED bulbs for the illumination. The halogen lamps are certainly ample but I like the benefit of the low power consumption of the LED lamps. My wife leaves them on all the time because it looks nicer with them on.
