The wife and I are remodeling the kitchen. My wife spent hours on the Internet conducting research into an island hood.
The product looks and runs great! Everyone who enters the kitchen comments on how nice the hood looks.
It also has duel controls, so the hood fan/lights can be operated from either side of the island.
The installation instructions are a little behind the product, as they indicate to leave a live wire hanging down through the ceiling for hard wiring to the hood, however they provide a plug which is already pre-wired to the hood. SImply install a wall plug/outlet within the confines of the brace area and your good to go.
When installing the product, you will definitely need three people as instructed, or you can do what I did. I built a make shift wood platform, placed it approximately 6 inches below where the hood would be permnently installed and lifted it up to the brace, while having my wife install the screws. (Two Person Operation with a stand.)
Nice product, We highly recommend it!
