This chimney kit was the perfect solution for our low ceiling. We paired it with the KE2i island hood and together they are the star of our kitchen. I wish ZLINE would sell the base hood separate from the chimney though. It seemed like a huge waste of resources to discard the standard chimney that ships with the hood, but it was extremely difficult to reduce the size of the standard chimney brackets. So we purchased the short kit which did the trick. I'm happy with it! It just seemed a bit too wasteful.

This is exactly what we were looking for. Perfect height for our lower ceiling. All our guests comment how they like our hood.
