ZLINE - 30 inches - Externally Vented - Island Range Hood - Silver

Frustratingly poor installation instructions. Took some MacGyvering to install on my 8 ft. ceilings which have a dropped mounting block from a previous island range hood. This looks a little nicer than other models we were considering. I was disappointed that it arrived with a small dent and a scratch in the stainless. Neither are super noticeable but I can't help but see them every time I'm in the kitchen. I think it's odd that there are controls on both sides and I wish there weren't buttons on the side that faces our dining area. We replaced a Whirlpool range hood with this one as a part of a full kitchen reno. We always hated the previous island hood based on aesthetics. This one looks nicer, but it does a poorer job of venting vapor and smoke. It also feels tinnier and I worry about its durability / longevity. The lights aren't as bright as I'd like them to be. One day I might try to replace the lights with better quality, brighter LED bulbs.

I love that fact that I don’t have to cut into my ceiling. This is very convenient.

Hood filters fell apart pretty much out of the box. Lights were suppose to be LED…They werent and half didnt work. Fast forward to finally soeaking to someone. They sent me new hood filters…Dont match. And LED lights I need to hire an electrician to re-wire.
