And that's a good thing.
I love that this is 24 inches deep, covers my entire kitchen as opposed to those dinky microwave ones that only come out 15". when you burn the tortilla on the front burner, maybe half of it gets sucked up and everyone in the house knows what's going on.
this is strictly a hard wired unit, as most are (meaning its not plug n play).
PROS: With this one, no-one upstairs can tell what you're cooking!!
comes with vent to hood connection.
even on low its great.
lights are bright.
Cons:
3 speeds, loud, louder, and loudest. (some might mind this)
Only one light setting, no brightness.
No clock on this one.
This con is the worse and almost a dealbreaker for me:
the vent connection is an inch from the back wall, thus making it very difficult for this hood to be vented out the back. I had to cut out the back of my cabinet to allow for a flex pipe to connect to it, then make the sharp 90 that exits the wall. If they could go back to the drawing board and push this out a couple of inches, that would help a lot of people. theres plenty of room on the inside so i don't see why they designed it so close to the back.
also, the puny screws they included in the bag to mount the hood are a joke. you will wanna upgrade those. and the wire nuts included are the blue ones meant for small gauge wire. no way youre connecting the 14awg stranded that came with the unit to another 14awg solid much less a 12 solid.
All in all, this thing is SOLID, heavy, well built (except for the exhaust connection) and really sucks! happy with the unit.
