EKON NAIS02-36" Island Mount Kitchen Range Hood / 2 Pcs 4 Speeds Touch Control LCD Display With Remote / 4 Pcs 3W Led Lamp /900 CFM / 3 Pcs Baffle Filter

Very good suctions power

The first hint was the box the vent came in was torn, clearly had been opened before. We were (and are still) in the midst of a kitchen remodel with time lines to meet with various contractors, so we couldn't take the time to return it and get a replacement. The instructions are TERRIBLE! All the parts were there when the box was unpacked so we went ahead with the installation. Poor quality, flimsy craftsmanship, both panels split at the seams before they were even put in place (see picture) but due to our contractor's timeline, we had it installed and the seams had to be tig welded for it to be functional and presentable. When we took the white protective film off (which is very difficult and time consuming), we noticed a small ding in the front of the hood right at the seam above the buttons that turn on the fan/lights which was not really noticeable when the white film was on it. This hood was installed ONLY because the electrical contractor is booked solid until October, but we will be replacing the hood in October, we are already booked with our contractor to do so; he, too, has never run across a hood so poorly manufactured. VERY BAD PRODUCT- DO NOT BUY THIS HOOD. I am also VERY disappointed in Amazon for their lack of vetting sellers/distributors. I've seen a steep decline in quality of merchandise in recent months so Amazon is becoming less and less trustworthy in my eyes and no longer my "go to" place. I'm disappointed in myself for putting ease of purchasing via Amazon before quality- never again.

I’ve ordered two of these. The first jays a broken chimney price — but Amazon was great about picking it up and delivering another. The second didn’t appear broken so I had it professionally installed only to learn from the contractor that it was a pain to install because the measurements posted were wrong. And only one fan speed works. Ugh. But the return period expired by the time it was installed so I’m stuck with it. Looks great in my new kitchen but that’s about it.
