ZLINE - 34" Externally Vented Range Hood - Brushed stainless steel

I recently installed the ZLINE AR-695 34-inch built-in cabinet range hood in my kitchen, and I'm absolutely thrilled with it! This range hood deserves a solid 5-star review for its exceptional performance, sleek design, and top-notch quality.

Beautiful hood. Gives a pro cook vibe to your kitchen! Very powerful blowers are the workhouse here. The dual motors may require you remove the damper inside to reduce noise. The ZLine reps were very helpful, courteous and professional in helping us with this. The lighting is lovely. Definitely recommend!

My contractor had a hard time fitting it into the hood cover but overall, the hood works great and looks amazing. It is not as quiet as I thought it would be.

Have had this installed for a few months. Installation was straightforward and operation is good. It's a solidly built unit. This unit though is very loud. I thought my previous Sirius unit was loud, but this one puts that to shame. It sounds like the wind blowing across the frigid Tundra. I did reach out to Z-line for suggestions and they told me to flip the filters around. This made a noticeable difference because the whistling stopped, but overall the noise level didn't not diminish. With one or both of the filters removed the unit is silent. It's definitely the design of the filters. It would be nice if another filter option was available.

Now that it is installed and functioning it seems to work great. Unfortunately, I had to replace the circuit board and the cable to the blower motor as both were defective when I received the unit. It is a little frustrating to pay preium prices and receive a unit with multiple defects. The replacements partsd were at no cost but I had 100% of the labor on me.
