ZLINE - 30" Externally Vented Range Hood - Stainless Steel

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 am extremely happy with my ZLINE Remote Blower Island Range Hood (GL2i-R), the installation was simple with the exception of having to cut down the mounting brackets so that it was at the right height for my 8' ceiling and not blocking the line of sight. This hood looks amazing, is quiet enough to have conversations on its highest setting, and clears the smoke of a well seared steak with no problem! The only reason for the 4 stars is that it was not a great design for installation at an 8' ceiling.

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.

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.

I bought this range hood because it said it was ductless, but when we took it out of the box, the instructions said to hook it up to the duct work. It's a beautiful piece but we didn't plan on having to run the duct work to the unit so had to rip up the ceiling again.
