ZLINE 36 in. Remote Blower Island Mount Range Hood in Stainless Steel (GL2i-RS-36)

I ordered the Z line 48" to go over my 36" island gas cooktop. Once it arrived, I opened everything up and determined how to install it. We previously had a downdraft so there was no existing ductwork. We live on the coast, so with constant storms, it is almost impossible to find a company to install something for you, and if they do give you a quote, you may have to sell your car to pay them. After 2 ridiculous quotes and lengthy lead times, my wife and I (both in our sixties) installed this unit ourselves! I must say, it looks great and works great.

I'm so happy I chose this range hood last month. It is well constructed with beautiful, clean lines. The crown moulding with this vent really adds the right touch. The filters are easy to clean and the lighting is great. The vent works better than I could have hoped. My husband installed it, but he had to do a lot of retrofitting because we have 8 foot ceilings. It worked out for us, but probably a professional contractor should be hired for installation. My husband was REALLY impressed with the care in packaging.
