Hauslane Chef Series C100 30-inch Under Cabinet Range Hood, Stainless Steel, Energy Efficient LED, 6 Inch Duct

We’ve always wanted to replace our over-the-range microwave because it just wasn’t powerful enough for us. We often cook Chinese food, which can create a lot of smoke, so we needed a range hood that could handle it. After researching various options, we decided on the this PS38 range hood. It has exceeded our expectations in every way. The powerful suction effectively removes smoke and odors from our kitchen, even when we’re cooking dishes that produce a lot of smoke. The fan has multiple speed settings, allowing us to adjust the airflow based on our cooking needs.

I bought the PS38 unit about a month ago and installed it myself. On the lowest fan setting, it’s quite quiet at about 60dba, and on the max setting, it’s about 75dba (loud). The lights are bright and it’s convenient that they’re standard bulbs. I haven’t tested the self-cleaning yet but it seems straight forward to use. One downside I don’t like is the dinging sound for button press feedback but it’s not a deal breaker. During installation though, I will say the 2x back screws are very hard to reach. I ended up using 2x extensions and a long bit, and had to tape the screw to the bit as I had no room to hold the long screw. A strong magnetic bit could work too. Overall, the PS38 looks great and modern with all the stainless but still subtle and minimalistic at the same, and at a reasonable price!
