ZLINE - 30 in. Island Mount Range Hood (GL1i-30) - Silver

The unit replaced a Sirrius island hood. Installation went well with a little help lifting everything in place. The fan is so noisy that the chief cannot hear conversation and the vibration is annoying. All else is great, do wish it had remote control for shorter cooks.

I'm so happy I chose this range hood last month. It is well constructed with beautiful, clean lines. The crown moulding with this vent really adds the right touch. The filters are easy to clean and the lighting is great. The vent works better than I could have hoped. My husband installed it, but he had to do a lot of retrofitting because we have 8 foot ceilings. It worked out for us, but probably a professional contractor should be hired for installation. My husband was REALLY impressed with the care in packaging.

Brackets supplied for install were not long enough for my application so these had to be fabricated at an additional cost. Installation instructions are very limited and does not go into recirculating versus venting to outside options for installation. These you have to figure out on your own.

I have very mixed feelings about this product. Instalation, assembly instructions, and product design I give it 1-2 stars. Asthetically I would give it 3 stars. It's OK but there are some very shoddy things about it's appearance. Functionality is 5 stars, it is a fantastic vent hood.

You never know if what you ordered will arrive in good condition i found that it was packed properly for the long delivery. We order hundreds of thousands of dollars in kitchen and bathroom products and reject a fair amount do to defects and shipping damages. The experience in ordering the hood will result in more orders.
