Very nice unit. Lighting illuminates stove well. Easy to install. Fan is very capable and quiet when it needs to be. Switches are very basic, no rocket science such as touch pad, etc. Two minor comments, 1) when removing cut out for fan, do be careful as the sheet metal is thin and if you are not patient with it, you could damage the integrity of the sheet metal seam. 2) The bulbs can be a bit difficult. They actually have two small rounds pins on the back which have to be perfectly aligned with the socket to insert. Once inserted, you must twist them to fully engage in the socket. It is similar to the old starters that were used on early fluorescent lamps. The manufacturer gives you a suction cup to place on the face of the bulb to secure and remove. It works but, the pins don't always want to budge. I would recommend using some dielectric grease on these pins when replacing bulbs to ease the removal process. The bulbs supplied are halogen and get extremely hot. I replaced my original bulbs with an LED version to decrease heat, power consumption and longevity. Made In China
I was hesitant to buy due to the reviews about unbalanced fan or scraping. I saved the box in case I would need to return.
The fan does not rattle. No metal scraping.
Smooth. Maybe a SMALL bit louder on high, but no more than a three-speed floor box fan. Maybe the people who say the fan is not aligned have not installed it LEVEL. I would think being level is important.
Bright lights.
I have not used it for cooking bacon yet so I don’t know about the suction power.
CON: Not really a con because I guess ANY brand would do this. Due to the hot air from outside coming in through the vent, meeting with inside cold air conditioning, there is a condensation build-up inside so, that may cause rust over time, and when turning on the fan w the condensation, there are little pings where the droplets of water hit the fan as they are being sucked out. But yeah, yhe fan is strong enough to suck out the droplets of condensation.
Now I can throw away the box.
This item arrived with the knockout vents unperforated, so i was unable to install this. I called amazon immediately and they suggested that i talk to the manufacturer. I sent the manufacturer an email immediately and they wanted to see pictures and proof of purchase. I sent them what they needed and they told me to contact amazon for the return. I then contacted amazon and they again told me to talk to the manufacturer. I emailed the manufacturer and again they told me to talk to amazon. I’ve never before seen tap companies passing there ball back to each other and not taking accountability for this item. Never buying from this manufacturer again!!
Our old range unit was almost 15 years old. The fan was getting so noisy you could hardly stand to be in the kitchen. This unit looks great and is quiet enough on low and medium fan speed to talk on the phone in our small kitchen, on high speed you might want to step into another room. I didn't realize how dim the light was on our old unit until I installed this one, unbelievable, we can now see what's cooking. Installation was relatively easy I was fortunate enough that this unit's exhaust fan lined up with existing duct work. Our cabinets were custom built around the old unit so I needed to install some molding to give it a finished look, not a big deal. The stainless steel looks good and fits in nicely with the kitchen. My wife likes the easy clean filters, we'll just pop them in the dishwasher every time we run it.
While this model looks sleek and the lights are nice and bright, it is ridiculously LOUD. The thing sounds like a jet engine or my husband's circular saw. The two low settings don't work at all and the high speed is so loud you literally can't bear to stay in the kitchen. It's going back!

Description
Color:Stainless Steel
Give your kitchen a new air with the slender design of the Slim SD330 range hood. Made with high quality stainless steel, this range hood offers quiet yet powerful air renewal, eliminating steam, smoke and cooking odors. The push button controls are simple to operate; removable dishwasher safe aluminium filters provide easy-clean convenience. With a height of only 5-inches and rear or top venting applications, the Slim SD330 range hood can replace any existing under-cabinet range hood, making it a subtle yet elegant addition to your kitchen.
Love this low profile hood. These 3 fan speeds seem just right for home use. We are happy with the sound levels, and love the full width aluminum mesh filters. Many think they want much higher CFM fans, and that higher CFM ratings are better. Beware if you have any gas appliances in your home, that very high CFM fans may be drawing exhaust from those appliances, into your home; unless you have an outside air intake to the range area. Check your local building codes for that information.
This one has no night light, but you have the option to replace the Halogen light bulbs yourself with LED's, if you wish. Nice fit and finish.
The fan is powerful and the lights are bright but it is a noisy unit. The motor spools like a jet engine and the air blowing out is loud in high. But it is a powerful motor at a low price so i doubt there's anything quieter without going into the 300 range. My low rating is largely due to the poor sheet metal in the top of the hood. This is where you would screw the unit into the Cabinetry. It's very flimsy and made the unit appear as if it was sagging. I had to drill custom holes to get the unit to sit correctly.
This range hood is simply beautiful. It is sleek and sharp looking and the positioning of the lights adds so much illumination to my kitchen.
It was extremely easy to install and I couldn't be happier with its look. The stainless steel fits in well with almost any kitchen decor.
I spent a great deal of time researching these before I purchased and this one seems to strike a perfect balance between cost, looks and functionality. Highly recommended.
My husband had a difficult time installing . He's a pro at this kind of thing. He ended up having to lie down across the stove 9 on a mat for comfort) to be able to reach the upper screw fastener on the right hand side. We don't really like the halogen bulbs. We'll be changing them to LED. It fit the space perfectly. and looks very nice. Wish it could have been available in 'off white'. We like the push button fan choices. It sucks out the steam and air very well. And I really like that the underside is completely closed in. Clean up is a breeze.
Relatively easy to install. Works fine. Electrical hookup box is quite small to handle the extra wiring that has to go in from the hard wiring. It would also be a lot better economically if the lights were LED rather than halogen. I would thin that halogen is becoming outdated
