Windster Hoods - 36 inches - Externally Vented - Range Hood Insert - Stainless Steel

After much research we decided on this Windster Hood. I can’t say enough good about it. We love the look of it, it functions very well and has 3 speeds. The led lights are bright too. I would recommend having them install it, done in a flash. On average I use mostly the first speed, and it’s quite.

I like the design of this range hood, it’s simple, price is reasonable and it fits well under the cabinet. One problem is that you have to press twice to change the fan level and it takes a couple seconds to start working, the noise of the fan is loud from #2-3. Overall I like it. Let’s see if it lasts because some products from Best Buy start having a problem after 6-10 mos. I guess all electric appliances nowadays have issue. I just have to buy the extended warranty for the peace of mind.

Excellent under the cabinet range hood. Great appearance and powerful fans.

Love the features and lighting. Hate that there is blue light is constantly on. Not sure the reason for that. But it is taking a start away from overall rating.

The hood is excellent construction. The top visible area is made of one piece sheet, which I really like. The fan is very powerful and lights add extra beauty to my cooktop and countertop. But there are some areas which can be improved with very few efforts. We paid $479, and I strongly believe that we have the right to have a detail installation instruction. If that hood is lightweight, it will be very easy to install. But it is heavy. Therefore, I strongly believe that the manufacturer should include the details installation details with some trick and tips. The buttons are not very good quality. They are not firmly installed, they move a little. Function wise they are ok, but price wise it needs to be firmly installed. Wire connections are not secure. Three pieces of wires just coming out from the top of the hood. My old hood which might be less than $100 has an electrical box where wires are connected and secure in the box. The filter latches are very poorly constructed with very poor quality metal. One gentle wrong move will bend them easily. When removing I have to make sure that the latches are out of the holes completely than pull down. Also to unlock, if I push back the latches little harder, the latches may be stuck inside the filter, and don't come out. Sadly the warranty will be voided if this thing is not installed by a professional. The manufacturer should realize that there is a handyman in every house, and everyone wants to save money.
