The media could not be loaded.I like the way it looks and the suction strength. At first I didn’t think the suction was that good, so I put a pot of water on the stove and let it boil hard. The steam went into the hood. Then, to see if the charcoal filter did anything, I used a skillet with a little oil and the burner on high until it smoked. In the video, you see what I saw, which was no smoke coming out the vent. That’s the main thing I was hoping for.I like that the metal filters are flush with the bottom and cover most of the bottom, so there is no metal hard to reach that would require appearance cleaning. I guess it will get dirty inside. The metal filters are easy to remove, as are the charcoal filters. The manual recommends changing the filters every 6 months. I don’t think that will be necessary given the small amount of time I will actually use it. However, a set of the charcoal filters is about $50.Regarding installation, the top of the unit is 13.25″ deep and my cabinet is 12″. So, one set of mounting holes was too far forward. The other set in the back was visible but unreachable because they were blocked by metal that the filters rest on. So, I just drilled holes that would work for me. That meant I needed someone to hold help me put it up because the slotted holes were either unreachable or in the wrong place for my cabinet.I’ve seen other comments about the lights being at the back. I also noticed fingerprints on the stainless steel. Finally, it comes with a connected cord and a plug. My old hood was direct wired. I cut the plug off and threaded the cord up through the bottom of the cabinet to connect it to power.
