Very nice looking hood vent. Bought mainly because other appliances were Samsung. However this hood performs very well and has met all of our expectations so far. Any odors from cooking are quickly vented away. Would purchase again.

Ordered this range hood for our complete kitchen remodel. Wall studs, sheetrock, and paint were done weeks before hood was delivered. This range hood needs blocking in particular locations to accommodate proper installation, as directed by Samsung. Since the hood wasn't on site, Samsung was contacted for blocking dimensions for the hood PRIOR to wall and paint completion. Absolutely a useless and futile effort to obtain the proper dimensions from Samsung, and after 90 minutes of trying to explain what we needed, we were still given the wrong dimensions. Contacted Best Buy for their help and were promised a return phone call with the information from a Samsung Rep. the next day. That was over a month ago and we are still waiting for that call. The hood arrived, the blocking was not in the right location, so we ended up tearing a finished painted wall apart to install the proper blocking at our expense because Samsung wouldn't send the proper dimensions or template, and Best Buy didn't follow up for us with their product manufacturer. Done with Samsung and Best Buy, rate them both poor.

Good looking high performance. Negative: You have to be extra carful when installing the product will scratch very easily

I love the black stainless steel. This hood looks amazing and the fan works great and I like the lighting.

It's hard to write a review with only one "overall rating" number because, while the hood itself seems very nice, I'm incredibly disappointed with it. I went to Best Buy and the appliance specialist informed me that the range I was looking at could auto-sync (in Samsung-speak, "pair") with this range hood so that it can automatically turn on whenever a burner is on. This feature is what sold me on purchasing an over-thousand dollar hood rather than something a third the price. I even did an online chat with Samsung to confirm that the Wi-fi enabled range I intended to purchase was compatible and they indicated that "any range is compatible" to sync in this way. WRONG. I couldn't figure out how to get it to pair and had to contact Samsung support again, who informed me there are exactly 3 Samsung cooking devices compatible with this range hood, and I quote: "The Cooktops which can be connected to the Hood (NK30K7000WS) via Bluetooth are- NA30K7750TG, NZ30K7570RG and NZ30K7880UG." There are no ranges that are compatible with this hood, only built-in cooktops. Had I known this, I would've selected a cooktop and separate oven for my kitchen remodel. As is, the cabinets are already installed, the granite is already cut and installed ... it's too late for me for that kind of design change. Without having one of these 3 cooktop paired with this hood, according to Samsung support, you cannot use remote control/monitoring features of this hood as advertised on their website or the BestBuy website. As for the operation and use of this hood, it does seem to have good suction, though it isn't exactly quiet. This is probably to be expected of a model that moves as much air as this model claims (I haven't personally measured) and where the vent system is installed in the living space rather than an attic or other non-living space. So if you know this in advance and proceed anyway, you'll probably be pleased.
