This replaced a similar sized GE Profile that died. This rises higher for taller pots and has greater cfm from blower

So far the downdraft system works great. Love that the fan isn't loud until it's at its highest speed. Since our cooktop is on an island it also serves as a splash guard to stuff getting on the floor.

An installation video would be very helpful as I'm not certain how to proceed with new cabinets and stone counter tops... A mistake could be costly. I hope it works as well as the rest of my KitchenAid products.

It’s a cool downdraft, but it’s not very effective. It captures of the the smoke and orders, but it’s not great at it. I feel a hood is way more effective.

It is true to the size, just a hair under 36" overall is nice, very tall compared to the version it replaces. The suction is so so, but serves the purpose, but is very expensive for what you get.

We ended up returning this because it didn’t work with the setup we had in our kitchen island. We were disappointed because it wasn’t very clear when we purchased it. Kind of a headache.

Guys guys guys. New box missing a part. Had to reschedule install. 2nd install couldn’t happen because trim piece has to be ordered. I find it hard to believe that installers don’t carry trim pieces. So now we are on install #3. This is a crazy way to do business as people are way too busy to wait around THREE times for installers. Please get organized!

Failed to suck in air at all and needs to press the on/ off button a few times to keep it To stay in an upright position. Before I can use it, I have callled kitchenaid to get it repaired already. A lemon product.

After waiting almost 2 month and being rescheduled 4 times my downdraft system was finally installed and it doesn't work. Now I have to wait another month to get a replacement one.
