Golden Vantage 30" Under Cabinet Stainless Steel Range Hood GV-R01-75 With Baffle Filter



Exceptional value for such a high-quality product.
Well made. Heavy-duty construction. A knockout for hard-wired electrical connection would be helpful. Eight-inch discharge hard to match to five-inch duct in my house. Replaced my 5-inch duct with 6-inch round steel duct with a 6-inch aluminum cap. Used 8-inch to 6-inch steel reducer to connect hood to duct. Sealed new duct work with brush-on duct sealant and taped connection to hood outlet. New unit is 3 times heavier than old unit. New unit is actually 29 1/2 inches wide, so when replacing a 30-inch wide under cabinet mounted hood you might have wider gaps on each side with the new unit. Prepare accordingly when installing. Easier to clean than old unit, blower is louder, but is also four times more powerful.

Perfect!
We replaced a 14 years old hood. This is nice since no odor remains in kitchen. Also has the remote to start and automatic sensor which will eliminate dents, scratchers on the hood. Sensor will detect the heat and blower will start automatically and generally increase the speed. Definitely, no need of candles to reduce the odor later.

One thing, this is about 62lbs heavy and if installing yourself, make sure you have 3 men at least to help you.

Great product.

So far so good
I've own it and installed it for couple of weeks. It's a very nice product. I called the seller and was told that there is three year warranty with the hood. Prompt delivery and it worked like described. You pay at least 50% higher for brand products. I think this product worth a try.

When you order, please note that the unit does not come with all install parts. For mine, I ordered a 8" hood exit that goes through the wall. I had to order one from Amazon made by Air King. Don't expect to find such a large pipe from local hardware stores, I could not find anything even close to it at Menards and Lowe's. Of course you also need a metal collar that tightens the connection. I also ordered from Amazon.

The unit does include a flexible connection pipe which is very handy and good quality. You definitely need it. It can turn in any directions. When you deal with a large pipe of 8", remember that the space between studs is only 16", you may need to position...
