ZLine 697IRD48 Remote Dual Blower Island Range Hood

The ZLINE island mount range hood is a beautiful addition - sturdy mounting, clean lines (no big logos!), and very quiet. Though the name brand is trusted and promises "attainable luxury", it is still unnerving to buy something so costly without ever seeing (or hearing) it. The air draw is remarkable and the controls on BOTH sides of the unit make it not just luxurious but practical. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the market for a high-end vent hood.

This is a great system but installing it is a difficult project and I think probably not for the average DIY enthusiast. That said I am 72 years old, not a professional contractor and I did the whole design and install myself. But counting removing the old hood and the various construction elements required in the attic it took about 30 hours for the job. I had a good plan and all of the tools including chopsaw, table saw, nail guns, compressor, impact driver, and most importantly a chain hoist to raise the hood into the attic.
