   The 5-layer aluminum filter is a game-changer – it effectively traps grease and eliminates cooking odors. I love how easy it is to clean, simply pop it in the dishwasher for hassle-free maintenance. Cooking in a fresh kitchen has never been easier thanks to this range hood.

   This range hood served as a basic replacement for the broken NuTonerange hood that came with our house. The old NuTone unit was completely nonfunctional, prompting us to purchase this new one. The product arrived adequately packaged, with only a minor dent in the upper fold on the back of the unit that was hardly noticeable, so we opted not to request a replacement.The NuTone hood I removed had a recess in the top, and the electrical supply from the wall was positioned near the top of the unit about 3 inches over from the corner. In contrast, this unit had a completely flush top with knockouts on the top and rear, about 7 inches in from the corner. To align the power supply with the knockout, I had to cut a section of drywall behind the hood. While this wasn’t a major issue, it was a bit inconvenient.The package included instructions for a recessed cabinet installation, but the unit out of the box was designed for a flush bottom cabinet. Since my cabinets had recessed bottoms, I decided to use longer wood screws with washers to secure the range hood to the bottom shelf in the rear and smaller holes on the front lip of the hood to attach to the front fascia of the cabinet. It was essential to drill pilot holes for the screws, and a 1/8″” drill bit worked perfectly. Once the hood was hung, I made the electrical connections. Note that wire nuts were not provided, so ensure you have some on hand.Overall, the installation process went smoothly, and the unit is securely in place and functioning perfectly. The switches feel sturdy, and we added two LED bulbs and a duct pipe, improving visibility while cooking. Now, we can see what we’re cooking with ease.

   I purchased this stainless steel range hood as a budget-friendly replacement for my old one that had stopped working. Since we plan to install an over-the-range microwave in the near future, I didn’t want to invest in an expensive hood. However, we needed an exhaust fan in the meantime.The installation process was incredibly straightforward. It took me less than 10 minutes, with only a couple of minutes spent walking up and down the stairs to switch the power on and off in the kitchen.When the package arrived, I found that the box had been left wide open at my door. This was a first for me with Garvee, and it initially caused some concern. However, upon close inspection, everything was in good condition. The only items in the box were the hood – which was undamaged despite the box being open – and an instruction booklet that I didn’t need to use. The mounting screws were located in a plastic bag under the wiring cover, which had to be removed during installation. Initially, I thought the screws were missing, but I later found them underneath the cover. Be sure to check under the cover for the screws!Given that my cabinets have a frame ledge that hangs down 1/2″” below the cabinet on the front and back, I had to use a 1/2″” spacer board between the hood and the cabinet or drill new holes in the hood at the front and back edges to screw into the ledges for mounting. I opted to drill new holes in the hood, using a 3/16 drill bit that worked perfectly with the included screws.I then removed the back wire tab on the hood using a flat-head screwdriver, turned off the power to the kitchen, and passed the power wires from the wall through the tab hole.With my wife’s assistance, I held the lightweight range hood up to the cabinet, ensured we were happy with the placement, and quickly secured the hood to the cabinet with the four included screws. This step took less than 2 minutes.Finally, I connected the white wires from the range hood to the white wire from the wall, the black wires to the black, and attached the ground wire from the wall to the greenish/blue screw on the hood. I then turned the power back on and tested the hood, which worked perfectly.Enjoy your new range hood!

   I am glad to hear that the packaging of the range hood was excellent and that it arrived without any dents, scrapes, or scratches.The mounting system of this range hood is better than your previous one, and its lightweight design gives you confidence that the anchors you used are sufficient for installation.Your decision to choose this particular range hood because of the position of the lights was strategic. Having the lights in the front rather than the back provides better lighting for the stovetop, which is a practical feature.It’s fantastic to hear that this hood is much quieter than your previous one. While you haven’t tested its performance in removing smoke, steam, or odors yet, you have high hopes for its effectiveness.The fact that the covers can be easily removed and washed in the dishwasher is a convenient feature that you plan to take advantage of regularly, possibly once a week.Lastly, the digital display and touch buttons on the hood have impressed you, providing a clean and modern interface. Overall, you are very pleased with this range hood and its features.

   I am really happy with my new range hood! It’s incredibly convenient to use, thanks to the built-in lighting, adjustable speed settings, and effective filtration.The lights make it easy to see what I am cooking, and I can adjust the fan speed depending on how much smoke and grease there is. It truly enhances my cooking experience and makes cleanup so much easier.
