Whirlpool - 30 inches - Externally Vented & Recirculating - Wall Range Hood - Black Stainless Steel

Problem 1: I should have unpacked it right away to find out that it was scratched rather than wait until my contractor was going to install it (several weeks after my purchase). Like another review stated, mine was obviously scratched. There was a rough squarish shape that looked like it had a different finish (around the buttons) and two scratches that extended beyond two of the 'sides'. Yes, it seems like the scratches were made at the factory and are related to the "protective film" though I didn't get to see it before the plumber/installer had removed it. He then told me about it. (I'll add a photo if I can update this review) Problem #2 was that it was too late to do anything about it because it was past the return date when I called Best Buy. At least I like that it uses a regular light bulb and that it works. I hadn't had a working range hood in years, and now I have an almost all-new kitchen.

This exhaust fan is fairly quiet and works great. The design is sleek and the led lights are bright!

I love the sleek look. I found this one to go with my new appliances that are black stainless steel and it looks great. It is kind of loud on high setting. The only reason I did not give a 5 star is because I have yet to find the charcoal filters.

I love the look of this over the range hood. Only negatives are that fingerprints are very noticeable against the dark face. Also, a negative would be that the fan is very loud. Otherwise it does the job and it’s improve the look of our kitchen.

The fan/recirculation is off set to left of the unit yet is has 2 huge detachable vents with expensive charcoal filters the right side has no suction what so ever more of waste of space/design see pictures with fan on and paper towel to show suction on one side and non what so ever on other
