ZLINE Island Mount Range Hood in Fingerprint Resistant Stainless Steel & Glass (8GL14iS)

The hardest part of installation was preparation of a solid mounting surface in the ceiling. Not sure why the mounting kit included drywall anchors ... it needs to be mounted to solid wood with very sturdy screws. I vented through the roof and that also took a good deal of preparation and a separate roof vent. I built a simple "table" out of scrap wood that I set on the counter top, straddling the stove top. Two people could then left the hood to the table top and with shims adjust it to exactly the right height to fasten the frame screws. It would be very difficult to do this any other way unless you have at least three people. The hood itself works very well but it is loud and vibrates slightly at the highest setting which I have never found a reason to actually use. The unit came with LED lights that I had to substitute for the original small halogens. I like the LEDs much better. It looks great! The glass seems to create more of an "open" feeling in our relatively small kitchen

The product itself seems to be great. Ive had it installed for a few weeks and all works great. The fan sucks well and is not overly loud.

We ordered our ZLINE island range hood online. Website is very user friendly with accurate pictures of the product! Fast shipping with excellent packaging. All parts neatly packed. Love the functions of the hood, bright LED lights. Perfect addition to our log cabin!

We actually just got this installed today! Really beautiful! - And, a rather difficult application. - Log home/exposed beams in ceiling and no way of venting the island hood. We are using the charcoal filters.

Hood came with everything possible for a quick install. Assembly of angle brackets and hood about an hour. Prepping opening and bracing another hour. (Electrical was already in place with an outlet in attic). Hardest part getting my 12 year and 16 year old girls to help hoist into place. It is now a focal point of our new kitchen, let alone how awesome the lights focus on the work station and the smoke from cooking gone with the blink of an eye. You definitely know the fan is on but it works so efficiently you shut it off right after cooking. Recommend for anyone who has never completely vented out to the outdoors and just used charcoal filters, this is like a new toy to my wife and I

Our range top island had no vent at all and after doing some shopping I chose The Range Hood Store and the z-line hood. We are very happy with our new vent system it is the center attraction now along with our Viking 5 burner gas cooktop

About 4 weeks ago we received our Zline range hood. It was Saturday and I immediately inspected the product. There were no issues due to the incredible packing job. The next day I installed it alone usind a table I built which sat upon the island and could be adjusted up or down around the height above the island surface which I desired. It was installed in about 8 hours and has functioned perfectly as advertised

To be honest we had issues. We got an older model with faulty mounting brackets. But Z-line made up for it with outstanding customer support. I installed it myself and it was challenging for two reasons. First was problems with the mounting brackets. They ended up sending me a whole new unit. Second was the electrical. It comes with a plug but you can't have an outlet inside a wall. They suggested cutting the plug off the end and hard wiring which is possible. I didn't like that idea so I ended up installing a mini outlet inside the unit. It worked, but took some doing. I'm giving a 5 star rating because of the humans on the other end of the phone that are there when you call for help. And because the end product is great. Check out the photo. Others we looked at were cost 4 times as much.

We've had this in place now for about 5 months, and so far it has worked very well. The finish has maintained its luster, and has cleaned up nicely
