Product review (4 stars): I would buy this product again
After viewing an endless number of Island Range Hoods, we decided to go with this one after my wife contacted the company that distributes them. They were very helpful and courteous, and were able to answer questions to our satisfaction. In the meantime, the price on Amazon dropped $90 and with free shipping, it was a sale.
 The installation was not complicated, and the directions were easy to follow. I reinforced between the ceiling joists with angle iron which supported plywood that I laminated together to a thickness of almost 3". I mounted the range hood supports with 3" lag bolts. I didn't use the Philips head screws that came with the hood. I have trust issues when it comes to suspending 80+ pounds of sheet metal and motor over my head.
 The angle iron framework that the hood hangs from is not heavy duty, but appears it will do the job. The screws and nuts (the nuts are brass and affixed to the angle iron) are of poor quality and easily stripped. Some of the nuts would turn in place and there was no way to hold them so you could tighten them. Do yourself a favor, get some good stainless fasteners at the local hardware store with locknuts. Grind or pull out the brass nuts that are there so you won't have to work around them. I also ended up drilling holes in different locations on the hood where the same brass nuts are used and just bolted through. The results are a good rigid mount.
 The other issue I faced was I had to shorten the angle iron mounts so I could get the range hood up high enough to avoid hitting my head. The hood ended up sitting 31" above the stove top, and I moved it back about 3" from dead center over the stove. We also went for a 42" wide range hood over our 30" cook top. I ended up cutting the upper stainless steel square cover that goes up against the ceiling. The lower cover has to be able to be lifted up to access the mounting screws that hang the hood and the motor as well. Because I had shortened the angle iron mounts in order to get the hood higher off the stove, the cover needed to be shortened. We have 8 foot ceilings.
 We love the range hood! I have no idea if it sucks at the advertised rate, but on high, it is quiet and nothing escapes the range top. The LED lights are more for a night light than actual working lights. There are no interior baffles to clean: the smoke and steam are sucked through the visible slots on the underside. The stainless doors drop down and you wipe off what ever residue is there. The range hood has been installed about 2 months, so far, so good!
