This is a great hood. Installation was just 2 screws for the main body; and 2 near the ceiling for the exhaust cover. No need for a manual. But you will need to do your 6" ductwork, which is a task. After a lot of research, this seemed to be a good value. The big box arrive so promptly.
The hood is attractive, gets compliments form family and friends, and very easy to use. The three speeds correspond to: Q = barely noticeable, and easy to have a conversation; M = noticeable, but not intolerable, ok for talking, good for routine cooking; H = loud and also pulls a LOT of air, ok for smokey cooking.
One criticism: I don't love the LED lights which are too focused on the front, and the light color quality is not the best (compared to an incandescent/halogen).
First, let me say that this is a beautiful range hood. We've not had a chance to use it yet (house still under construction) but it's gorgeous. I purchased this in July 2018. When the builder finally got around to installing it, they opened it in January 2019 and there was a dent in the duct cover. It's highly doubtful that the damage was from Kobe. It was apparent that somewhere in handling, something penetrated the box and caused the dent. I am not sure when the damage occurred and contacted Kobe about getting a replacement (explaining all of the above). Ron was VERY prompt in responding and covered it under warranty and had a replacement duct sent within 48 hours of my initial email. It's rare to find this kind of service today. I'm very happy to have chosen them and given the choice, will do so again in the future without hesitation.
Hood arrived with a slight bend on the back edge. Luckily, it was minor enough I could bend it back with hands and pliers over a cloth. Expect yours to arrive with some damage as well because the product is just too loose in the box. Should have used custom molded foam instead of just flat foam board. On the install, instructions are worthless. Here is what you need to know. Go to the hardware aisle at The Depot and buy 75 lb wall anchors. Install two of them 30" or so (what works best for you family's height) above the cooktop and 8 3/8" apart (use a level). Lift range into position. Check level on the range hood, then remove from wall to adjust brackets as needed (mine was not set level from the factory). Install two additional anchors on the wall 1/2" from the ceiling and install bracket from the kit. Install sleeve to cover ducts. Note that the electrical wiring is really short, so plan your connection accordingly. Also, it is impossible that this hood is 1.0 sone on quiet. I have newly installed bathroom vents that are 1.2 sones and way quieter than this range hood. It is barely quiet enough to have a loud conversation. On low (aka medium), you cannot have a conversation without shouting.
Update after a few months of use. Reduced rating to 1 star. No way that this hood has the 700 CFM (air flow) that it states. I have it connected to a very large duct for low restriction, so it should have the highest flow possible. It has a very low flow even on the highest and loudest setting. Cooking anything inevitably allows smoke and fumes into the house. You can watch the fumes hit the hood and simply slip over and around it due to such low flow and suction. Its a nice looking hood, but is way over priced for the performance. Should have paid the extra and went with a reputable brand known for high flow hoods.
We installed this hood in our previous house four years ago, and now that we're remodeling the kitchen in our new house, we're getting it again. Low was very quiet, medium was noticeable but not annoying, high (or the "whoops" speed) was certainly loud but effective. We loved the look. We did have a pot rack on one side and open shelves on the other. If you haven't done a chimney-type hood before, be sure to look at how they combine with upper cabinets visually.
installation on a tiled wall is not convenient, performance is just ok, noise level two high

Description
Size:36 inch | Style:Stainless steel
KOBE Deluxe 36-inch wall mount range hood is equipped with 3-speed mechanical push button, 700 CFM internal blower, dishwasher-safe baffle filters, and LED lights. This hood is handcrafted with durable 18-gauge commercial grade stainless steel with seamless design.
The vent looks and works great and feels really solid. It didn't require any wood framing, unlike many other models, according to the contractors who installed it.
My main complaint is that for a 10' high ceiling installation, our only option was to purchase a full extension for over $200, though we were only short about 2-3 inches. They should offer a shorter extension option for less money.
The vent baffles are removable and open up for easier cleaning. However, be very careful when hand scrubbing them as they're very sharp.
Looking for a new island hood and seems not too many choices. this style is good in appearance and 760CFM should be better than most others. After using several weeks, it's easy to clean the filters in dishwasher. Like other brands this style has quite big noise. Especially level 1 and level 3 sounds no big difference. Buttons in two side panels and easy to control, this is very unique. Help reducing odor smells in the kitchen.
Beautiful looking, works excellent to get rid of that cooking odor smell in our kitchen. It works great! It’s the quietest hood I’ve ever used.
Highly recommended. 5star all the way
