IKTCH 30 Inch Under Cabinet Range Hood, 900 CFM with 4-Speed Gesture Sensing & Touch Control, Stainless Steel Range Hood

We bought this range hood for our rental unit because we had problems with cooking smells lingering. We picked this because of the CFM rating, PRICE, easy cleaning, and appearance.Installation:Installation was straightforward and as basic as any other range hood. This was hung under a short kitchen cabinet which had a 3/4 inch empty space up to the cabinet floor. I added a 3/4 inch strip of wood under each side of the cabinet to bring the mounting surface flush with the cabinet face.Performance:The range hood sucks hard. It lives up to the CFM ratings. The noise is comparable to the level of suction. It is quieter than my expensive 1000 CFM hood in my house. It is louder than the 325 CFM hood that was there before. The stainless steel filters are easy to remove and reinstall for cleaning unlike my home hood where each time it is a puzzle and fight with extra spacer bars.Customer service:When it arrived, the two stainless steel filters were warped from shipping damage. Customer service immediately shipped us replacement filters. Came in a couple days. Boom, no hassle, no arguments. We inquired about buying a replacement remote in the future in case a tenant loses it. They sent another remote on their dime. Came in a couple days. Boom, no hassle, no arguments.We are satisfied buyers.

********Update: *******Figured out the light. You hold the button down and it will dim the light so that was user error on my end.Additionally, the seller did reach out to address my other concerns to my satisfaction. For the seller to reach out directly says a lot about the seller and they stand behind their product.The unit has been working great since we installed the unit. The suction power on this unit is amazing we have only had to use it at full power once due to a spill over in the oven at full power this unit cleared things up quickly.We are very pleased with the purchase.**********************************************There is not and option to hard wire this unit. I had to install an outlet in the cabinet which was not a big deal, but the power cord for the unit is in the right front corner so you have to put a pretty big hole in the cabinet right close to the face frame of the cabinet. Would be better if the power cord was closer to the back and closer to the middle of the unit.Additionally. The one one I ordered clearly states it black stainless steel with glass. It is not a black stainless on the sides it is just normal stainless steel.The unit does look nice after installed expected the sides don’t match my black stainless steel range.Others are reporting that it is loud, I don’t think it is to loud especially with the 2 big fans on it. I don’t think most people would be using at more than settings 1 or 2 unless they burn something and really need to get alot of smoke out of the kitchen.The description states the lighting is adjuster but I am unable to figure out how that works I only have one or off does not appear to be adjustable.If something changes I’ll update this review but this is my initial findings after installing today

Good functionality and value. I like its 2 motor 4 speed control without being too noisy. Sleek looking, only 6” thick leaving plenty of space between the hood and stove top for cooking maneuvers. Not too heavy so relatively easy to install. Hand gesture control is not super reliable but I could use the touch pad control. It doesn’t come with a round hole pre-punch on the top as its diagram suggested. I have to buy a rectangle-to-round adapter to connect to my existing exhaust pipe. I also have to remove the airflow flapper inside the rectangle outflow box as it is interfering with the adapter.

Update: The seller worked with my concerns and I am completely satisfied with the out come. I didnt know that newer homes come with an electrical outlet in the cabinet above the stove. This is a great company that stands behind what they sell and you can't ask for more than that. Highly recommendOver my life time, I have installed 5 range hood vents. This was the most difficult. It came wired with a plug which I don't understand. Where do you plug in a vent hood without seeing the cord? So, I hard wired it, the 2 holes already in the vent hood were not large enough for a wire clamp so I had to drill a 1/2 inch hole and that takes a carbide hole saw because of the stainless. Why this weighs as much as it does, idk. Crazy, no reason for the excessive weight. I did install this by myself. I cut a 1x6 60 1/2 inches long and when the vent hood was in place, I wedged the 1x6 on one side of the vent hood. I had to install an electrical box inside the vent hood with double sticky tape for my wiring connections. The lights do a good job of lighting the stove top but are weak and yellow, this is not a living room, this is a kitchen where I need bright light,an option to purchase with the brighter 6000k lights would have been nice. $40 to change two bulbs. Your kidding me right? Finally installed, there is a 1/2 inch gap on both sides of the vent hood. 1st time I have ever seen this on any vent hood. Amazon listing states the fan is ultra quite. True, when the fan is off. On level one, the fan is mildly noisy. Level 4, the noise is very loud. Vent hood does look nice and the remote works well but it's faster to adjust the hood than it is to pick up the remote. No reason for a remote in my opinion. I have never seen a vent hood without fine mesh filtering screens. Time will tell how filthy the inside of the vent hood will become.
