Great investment with a good price-value. The over-range vent fan/lighting I had before was very outdated (and loud) so I opted to replace it with something a little more modern to address the look, and quiet for my sanity. This over the range hood was well within budget and offered the updated look I was going for. It was very easy to install and the dimensions advertised with accurate. While I did not use the bracket system that came with the product, and had somewhat clear directionz, I did utilize the four holes that were pre-fabricated. They are holding the vent up well and due to its light-weight build, I am not worried about it falling or posing as a hazard if I bump into it (for whatever reason) or if there is an earthquake. Construction: As I mentioned, the internal components seem to be of lightweight construction, probably aluminum as it is very light. Be careful when you move it around during installation and cautious not to bang into anything with it, like the corner of a cabinet, table or coutertop because I am sure the thing will dent easily. Perhaps not the most durable in this sense, however, it is not build to be man-handled or even touched much on that note, so with that being said, once it is up, it looks great! Wiring: I hard wired this myself using the conduit that was in place for the previous vent. I am pretty handy with stuff around the house, but very intermediate with the scary stuff such as gas & electrical... regardless, I gloved up, and got to it. Black to black, white to white, ground or bare wire to provided grounding screws. Be advised, while I did not go through the "whole-9" which I 100% advise you to do, including shutting the power to your house then TESTING that it is off using a digital multimeter, I am still alive, breathing, and writing this review with all ten fingers. I have done several electrical jobs around my old house (late 70's) such as socket replacement etc and felt comfortable with this task. The unit did not come with the two halogen bulbs which would have been nice, but they were an easy buy that I made at the local hardware store. I waited for the unit to arrive rather than ordering them off Amazon to ensure they fit property and were the correct specs. These too were easy to install. Overall this was a great buy. Good, clean look, affordable, and easy to install. Specs and dimensions were true, the fan is so quiet I couldn't even tell it was on, and the lights provide great countertop visibility. Would highly recommend for someone looking to update the look of their kitchen.

My early 1970s range hood was about four more meals away from quitting, so I bought this. First and foremost I've dreamed of an improvement over the noise level of our old fan for decades. I was so very tired of hearing it from everywhere in the house including the yard, and this turned out to be better than I had dared to hope. The old one sounded like heavy machinery in the kitchen while we cooked. All of the neighbors for blocks knew when we were cooking. When anyone pulled up in front and got out of their car, they knew if we were cooking by the droning motor. I was here when the old exhaust hood/fan went in and it was like that when it was new. We sure got our money's worth out of it though, in its final days it quite literally screamed for mercy. When you turn this fan on low we must be close to the hood to hear anything. When you turn it on high you can hear the slight whispering sound whooshing air, but there's no motor noise. For that alone I gave it five stars. As far as the other features go, the fan itself is easily six times as large as the old one. I think it'll get the job done. The grease catching screens are very large, they take up most of the space underneath the hood, but they're very thin. It seems there's really very little material there to catch grease. I'm thinking of ways to bolster them with a bit more screening material. Though they look as if adding any additional weight will cause them to sag, and that would be very aesthetically displeasing. I'll figure something out. BTW speaking of aesthetics, it has good clean basic lines, so it looks okay in our retro kitchen. ;D It would likely look good in any other kitchen. Okay, now the halogen lights. That was my biggest hurdle to get past when choosing this. I'm not a fan. They burn very hot. We live in a location with sweltering Summers, and I try to avoid creating extra heat. I have no a/c, and I don't want to get it. Halogen lights use a LOT of energy. They're on their way out, so maybe I'll have to stock up, but I can't found any that are color corrected to 6500k (cool white), which is the color I use for all of my indoor lighting. The manufacturer says NOT to substitute LEDs, but we shall see. I paid someone to install it for me, but it was straight forward and I thought the directions were exceptionally good, they were clear, in good English and some other languages, and nice graphics. I also had a damper installed in the vent tube to keep out cold wind in the winter and cold nights since we've never had one. It looked relatively easy though, the one person had it all in and done in a couple of hours, which included a run to a couple of hardware stores. Well, it's been in and been used for a few days, and I am very pleased with it. Update; I saw another reviewer here say they were using LED lights in it, and now even though the manufacturer said not to, I've been using them 24/7 for over a year. I just can't imagine why not. I bought these because it was the only way I could find 6500k extra white lights which I have to have. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0754M862L/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Replaced my 20 year old range hood, this unit has better suction and the lighting is fantastic. It's still pretty loud on the highest setting.
