I'm a former General Contractor so I'm super critical (& yes I know I still need to add two pieces of cabinet trim in my pic) . But here's the lowdown. About 3 weeks ago (3/24/21) I installed a new 20k BTU gas drop-in and needed to nix the downdraft I had. I was not going to buy this hood and planned to move on to a ZLine and pay the extra $ assuming this would be crap. Fortunately (so far) Z-Line was OOS everywhere and I had no choice but to move on and get something installed. So I bought this and thought that if it isn't as advertise I'll return it.
So far this hood has been as advertised in all respects. Other than having a goofy name stamped into it (is that some Chinese scrabble version of Kitch??), and a goofy remote that went straight into the drawer, it is as good as some of the "Pro" Hoods I've installed for clients in the past. The stainless gauge is very good and not cheap AT ALL. In my pic there's a bit of streaking but that's the fault of the cleaner I was using not the hood. I was afraid I would find the hand waving business annoying (and yes it can change occasionally if you have a neanderthal forehead and like to rock out while you sauté) but all in all it's actually really nice that you don't have to "hunt & peck" for the speed button. The lights are perfectly ample and (at least with a short run to outside like mine) the fan is plenty good & strong and the noise level is perfectly acceptable even on high. The baffles are nice and to my surprise they don't rattle at all as the fan motor is pretty smooth.
All that said I do have concerns about touch/sensor panel longevity. So far unfounded. But future parts availability does concern me in that respect. But all in all a great hood, good quality, looks nice, good functionality, easy install, priced right. If you like the look I don't think you can go wrong here. I'm very happy with my extra $1,000! Thanks ZLine!
Over a year now and zero complains. This is mounted over a very high BRU drop in. And it will suck your wig off. All controls still work fine.
