Nice look. Quiet. Works great! Install was easy. Shipping was fast.

Once this was installed, I was completely happy with it. It looks great, is quiet, provides good light, and does the job for a great price. However, this product does seem to hint that you could put this up on your own, but this is definitely not the case (the only reason I gave 4 stars). The little clips on the back that you are supposed to hang it up on are pretty flimsy. But if you can just get a buddy to help, it's not difficult.

I am very disappointed with this purchase. I followed the installation directions word for word and was frustrated-- the mounting brackets didn't line up properly with the holes in the back, and the tabs on the side that you're supposed to fold up and screw to the side of cabinets aren't close enough to the edges to be able to do that at a 90 degree angle as instructed. The instructions seemed to be lacking and I felt there should be more screws to secure the fan - I ended up using the 4 screws from my old fan to secure this to the cabinet.
After installing this, the fan didn't work. I removed the filter and the screws holding the fan in were loose, so it was wiggling around. After tightening them and replacing the filter the fan turned on. However, the fan is extremely weak with virtually NO suction. I'm disappointed in this purchase and regret buying this fan.

Hey there! Installation was super easy, and it looks pretty good, but it doesn’t really help with recirculating the air since it has no suction. Honestly, it feels more like a decorative piece. I wish I could return it, but I missed the return window, so I’m a bit disappointed.

The range hood looks nice as a unit but overall I was disappointed. The stainless steel will not wipe clean, it’s almost as if it’s not a smooth surface. Fingerprints galore. Also, mine arrived covered in scratches. I’m going to attempt a return. Too bad I had to pay for the installation already.

HOOD IS LIGHT GREY IN COLOR - NOT WHITE! There are three large crooked ugly labels on the underside of the hood that are visible, no panels to the left and right of the center filter to cover them or the fact that the hood will be impossible to clean after cooking because it's wide open, you can see holes, bolts, etc. It's very quiet-can't speak to functioning yet. Whirlpool needs to pull this off the shelf and start over with quality control.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I would NEVER install this brand ever again! It never performed the way it was advertised to performed. Never got any satisfactory results. A waste of money, plus I paid for worthless insulation services. If returned it came with an overstock fee.

The hood looks great over my Whirlpool stove. Installation wasn't bad. My only gripe, although a mild one, is the fan unit. Even on the high setting, it doesn't provide as much suction as I'd like. It's very quite, but that partially because the fan isn't turning very fast.

We bought this because of its price and it looked nice. It installed without any issue. We installed with vertical vented but the unit’s fan was so weak it cannot even open the damper. When I was doing a tissue paper test it can barely hold a piece against the filter and I was pretty much pushing the tissue against the filter to begin with. On the plus side the fan is very quiet. I guess if you don’t need it to vent out the air it’s okay. You definitely get what you pay for. If you are looking for air flow then you better look elsewhere.

This is a good replacement for a range hood. The stainless steel is not fingerprint resistent and you do need to purchase a true stainless steel cleaner to get that factory look. Water and other cleaners leave heavy streaks. The fan is super quiet, but it also recirculates into the air after being filtered. The suction of the fan is minimum even at the high speed...thus the quiet fan. Lightweight and simple to install. BYOB It did not come with a lightbulb so bring your own.

The stainless steel range hood was a perfect fit replacing an 25 year old hood. It was very easy to schedule an install with Best Buy and the installers did an excellent job putting it in and taking the old hood away. It is very quiet and works perfectly.

I found this to be a no-frills, solid range hood. There aren't any outstanding features, but it has performed well. The stainless steel look is very nice. The light is well-placed, providing good coverage of the oven cooking surface while being in a good location for changing the bulb. The light is either on or off (no dim setting). The 2-speed fan may be a little under-powered, but runs quietly and effectively. Installation was a little difficult physically but it was my first time installing a hood, so that may have contributed. I have been satisfied with my purchase.

This range hood is perfect for my needs. It was very easy for my husband and I to install ourselves. Four stars because the fan is not very powerful; however I typically use the light only. It is a sleek, attractive replacement for my outdated almond-colored range hood. Great price as well!
