The hood is a beautiful addition to our kitchen. I love it, and would buy it all over again, but it was not as easy an installation as I thought it would be. The old hood had a round vent, and this one has a rectangular shaped opening. My husband had to re-cut holes in the cabinet above and find new ducting pieces. It took him parts of several evenings to get it installed. To be expected, the stainless steel is a magnet for fingerprints, but in my opinion, worth the extra care. The lights are nice and the fan is great.
