We love the range hood. We saved a lot of money by buying through Overstock. The only thing that we would like to see changed are the instalation instructions. They were not very clear on how to adjust the chimney lenght properly and we had to do it over a couple of times before getting it right. Not Fun. Now that it is installed, it is beautiful as well as functional. And with so many exhaust levels it's excellent. We also love the dimmer light adgustment. We have gotten so many compliments. It really is beautiful. We would highly recommend this item to anyone.
Well, I have to say that after reading all the reviews of this range hood I was a little worried about the installation. My worries were later confirmed. I received the order quickly, about less than a week. I began the installation at 5:30AM when my attic was nice and cool. I did all of the duct work first in the roof and attic so it would be ready for the range hood. You will need to buy a vent tube and and other pieces if you don't already have them. I would say the hardest and most stressful part was trying to measure where the center of the hole in the ceiling would go. I had to use a plum level with string. Then you have to determine if the wood studs in your ceiling will match up, or if you need to add 2x4 support. Of course mine did not match up, so I had to measure the distance between the studs and cut 2x4's to install (the instructions do not explain this at all). Then my wife and 10 year old son (after much thought) came up with the idea that we should make a template out of cardboard from the top of the "upper support frame". This will help you determine where the size and where to drill the holes in the ceiling when up in the attic. This was very helpful! I had to do some creative carpentry to make the 2x4's fit as my attic had a lot of things in the way. The instructions are very confusing as they don't really make clear what order to do things. You need to determine the height of your range hood first. However the instructions don't tell you to add 3" to allow for the range hood itself. I called technical support about this and they told me, "our installers have I variety of different skill sets, so they would be able to figure that out". Obviously, I am not one of their installers . .go figure?? Anyway ,the guy from technical support seemed clueless as to what to do, and was very unhelpful. You are better off trying to figure it out yourself! Lastly, a few good tips for the install, make sure you install the lower support frame to the support frame extensions using the LAST TWO HOLES or the motor housing will not fit when you raise it up to install. Also, use BLUE PAINTERS TAPE to hold the lower chimney cover to the upper chimney cover when installing the motor housing. This will make it much easier. Consider taping the electrical cord to the flexible duct tube when you install the motor housing that way you can avoid losing a person to go up in the attic. Also, we used a little step latter with a piece of styrofoam from the box it shipped in to hold the motor housing up so our ARMS WOULD NOT GIVE OUT from holding the heavy motor housing!! I am glad to write this review in hopes of helping anyone else who will be installing this range hood. I wish I would have known all this before I started :-) Overall, it looks beautiful!! It was a great deal using our coupon code from Overstock, and waiting for it to go on sale! It completes your kitchen. The cobalt blue lights are very bright, and make the fixture really stand out! Good luck to all my future Cavaliere Range Hood brother and sisters!!

This is a lovely vent hood, and it seems to work well. Be aware that it does sit lower than perhaps expected - one must be careful not to hit their head while working at the back of the stove! (And this is with it at it's highest possible height.) Our contractors had a bit of a difficult time installing it, as the instructions were not particulary clear. It is very quiet and looks nice. The one drawback I have is that there is no trim kit included, nor is there any indication that you may need one. Plan on purchasing a trim kit or make one yourself for where the vent goes through the ceiling.
It looks great in my kitchen. I was worried it would stand out or look out of place because of course it is an island. No need to worry, it is stream-line in appearance and looks great with my notty pine cabinets and granite counter tops. The only thing you will need to do is get the special pipe needed to vent it outside. It comes with everything else, but we did not realize this and had to wait a couple of days to get the parts and get the contractor back in to finish the job. But I really love the appliance.
We are building a new home and have chosen modern decor throughout. This beautiful range hood will be the showpiece of my new kitchen.

Wow, my husband has been working on this all day and we still cannot figure out how to install. We just called our contractor, to get an estimate, on installation. The instructions are very unclear. If you are going to purchase this product, be sure you are a very well advance fix it person, with the correct tools. It takes 3 people to install. I will write another review, after I have used the product. I only gave it three stars because of the installation problems.

Love the hood - it "completes" our newly remodeled kitchen. love the lights and the sleek look of the hood. pain to install - definitely need 3 people or 2 very skilled (and strong) ones!
All I can say is that you will love this hood!! It's very quiet, very stylish, the lights on it are bright. The quality is fantastic!! it's the first thing people comment on in my new kitchen. It's worth every penny.

Love this Cavaliere-Euro 30-inch Island Mount Range Hood. On/off switches on two opposite sides; includes 6 speed fan is tolerable at highest speed with 4 down lights with dimmer, Includes oil catcher. Excellent construction with great quality SS.. Shipping was fast; with cash off coupon, the price was less than anywhere else. If you need a stylish and functional island range hood, this is the one to get.
But totally with it! Excellent power with low noise level. I was intrigued by the ability to dim the lights! Nice that the controls are on both sides too.
Unbelievably stylish! The range hood came very quickly. It wasn't installed until recently so I worried that it may be missing parts or have broken glass during my garage storing. I was plesantly surprised everthing was in tact and my contractor had no problems installing. I've already used and it works great. Exactly what I wanted. The numerous fan speeds fit every situation.
Item came with all parts necessary for assembly. Fan and lights work great. It looks amazing! The glass did steam up on me and I had to wipe it off on the bottom so it did not drip all over my cooktop and counter. Only negative was I had to file the edges of the vent baffles, as it was hard to open them, then they would stay open. I filed down the plastic and now they open and close easily.
arrived in three boxes. This took my contractor quite a while and was a bit tricky to install. It was easy to adjust the height and works great. Have had it in use for three weeks now and it is quieter than I would have thought. Looks beautiful in our new kitchen and have had many compliments on it.
I was impressed with the whole experience. Ordered on a Wednesday, showed up on Saturday. Only two out of three boxes showed up, though. Called customer service, explained the problem and they sent out the missing piece the next day. Meanwhile, the third box showed up. Those I dealt with at customer service were the greatest. Understood my issue and helped me get it resolved. They were friendly and very professional. The range hood is absolutely beautiful! Everyone that sees it, raves about it! It is very powerful and extremely quiet. I was a little concerned about the seams on the underneath chimney portion, but as it turns out, they aren't noticeable because of the overall good looks of the unit. The mounting was a little tricky, but I was able to do it in about 1 1/2 hours. Mine is an outside venting set up. I was a little turned off by the vents holes for the recirculating style, so I flipped the piece upside down and redrilled the mounting holes. Made a huge difference! It should come with holes on both ends. Oh well, I couldn't be happier with the range hood. It really adds the pop! to our new kitchen.
Our hood arrived promptly, installed cleanly, and works well. It would be nice if the display had a clock and alarm timer...
Install went fairly easily, but the lag bolts provided with the product are not worth a damn. I recommend using your own lags or screws. Good looking product and appears to be well made. We will see it it lives up to its "900 cfm" rating.
My wife and I used two ladders, a plank, and a car jack to lift the exhaust hood into position. This method made installation a snap. The compliments are never ending and the look is fantastic. Take a chance and make the purchase, you will be pleased.
My husband is a genius and installed it in a snap. It looks beautiful and so far works like a charm, we've only had it up for a few weeks though. I love all the different fan and light settings and how there are controls on both sides. I only wish we could install it a little higher from the range to be less conspicuous in our open kitchen since it's connected to the living room. It's great!
