The Home Depot description shows that this model has a remote control; what do you do with the remote? This model weighs under 55lbs, I looked it up. Not too light. EDIT: Another source lists it as under 60lbs. Thanks for the content. Keep up the good work. בס״ד

HI! I apologize for the delayed response. For some reason I haven't been getting notified through email regarding any comments. I'm not sure how much it weighs, all I know, I had a hard time installing it by myself. Either I have sales man arms, since I don't really do manual labor anymore. Or that thing is heavy! I had to add a temporary cleat to the wall so that I can rest the back side of the hood on it, and push the front side up with my wifes help. Hope this answered your question. Thanks for watching!!

I'm trying to install this myself as Lowe's install team is completely incompetent. I've got most prep work done and top screws in place. Did you put the back anchors in and then start screwing the back screws most of the way so the unit could slide on, then tighten? Or just put the anchors in and then put the screws through the unit after the unit itself was hooked to the top and in place? I'm concerned about the screws on the wall that the back of the unit hooks on to. I've marked the wall using the template provided but its marked at the spot the unit will rest and tighten on once in place. But to get the unit on the screws in the back its gonna require being lifted to higher height and then slid down on to the actual screw. (hopefully all that made sense). My concern is that I can't lift unit higher because the above cabinet is in the way.

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

Hi! I did install the back anchors, but no screws, because of the fact you would have to lift the unit higher, then slide the hood into position (Impossible with a cabinet above it). I recommend having someone help you hold the unit while you insert the top screws. Apparently hoods don't come with mounting brackets like a microwave, so it makes it more difficult to hold in place. To overcome that issue, I screwed some screws into the available studs, or sometimes you'll have blocking already installed behind the drywall. I measured the back of the hood from top to bottom, then installed long screws below the bottom measurement, and had them stick out about an inch. The reason I did that, is because I used the screws similar to how a bracket would work. I first placed the backside of the hood up against the wall, resting the bottom of the hood on the screws. Once that is in place you and a helper can push the hood up into place, and insert to screws/bolts from the top. Don't fully tighten before knowing the back side is flush with the wall. After installing the hood I noticed the anchors I installed in the beginning were perfectly allied, but were useless because I had no way of getting my available tools behind the blower motor. I decided to make my own holes in a area I had access to, and installed screws with washers to secure the bottom backside of the hood to the wall. Be sure to full tighten the top screws before making the holes and installing the wall screws. Finally, everything should be secure, remove the temporary screws that were used to hold the hood, fill the holes and paint, unless you are installing a backsplash. If you already have a back splash, then you might be able to use the top of the tile as a lip for the hood to sit on. Sorry for the long response, hope this helps. Thanks for watching!!

@@peteshowtosreviews8067 Thanks! Appreciate it. I ended up using the template and placing the anchors in the drywall, secured the top of the vent to the cabinet and then managed to get the screws on the top back portion in to the anchors because my brother had a flexible bit extension but even that was a pain. Couldn't drop the vent on to the screws in the back, had to screw them through after securing the top. You'd think they'd account for the fans being in front of the screws.

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

@@umairahmad2999 Good! I'm glad you were able to get it done. They definitely didn't account for the fan. I would of been fine if they gave an option to remove the fan so we can get to the back side. Apparently that wasn't something that was thought of. If you found value in my video, and haven't liked or subscribed, Please do. I'm working on improving the quality of content for my viewers.

Hi there! Thanks for posting this video... did you purchase the rectangular piece separately? The piece that you connected to the circle air vent? Mine is the same as yours and I wanna go pick it up for before the guy comes over to install it if I do have to purchase it separately. Thank you!!

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

Hi! Yes, the duct was purchased separately. You should be able to find it at your local hardware store. Keep in mind, you might have to buy a duct reducer in order for it to work with the part that connects to the rectangular piece. It would be a total of 2 pieces, as long as you have the same or similar setup as to what I have. If you do buy a duct reducer, you'll have to buy a (5 blade duct crimper) to crimp the collar, (unless you can find a pre-crimped one), Otherwise it won't fit into each other. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching!

What is your clearance, between cooktop and hood? Thank you

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

HI! I apologize I didn't respond sooner. The clearance between the cooktop and hood, depending on your cabinet, should be approximately 25 1/2", if your stove is level with the counter. If you have a gas stove it should be approximately 24 3/8". Thanks for watching!

[@sirfrancisdrake2398]

You skipped over the install part??

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

Yes, I apologize, It was extremely difficult to install due to no brackets and it being really heavy to hold in place. I didn't film it because I didn't have any help at the time and had to Waite on my wife to get home and help. I did use washers on the top part, inside the cabinet. If I remember correctly I used some anchors in the wall. I used wood screws temporarily as supports to hold the hood, while I mounted it from the top. It's been a while since I've done this install. Hopefully some of your questions will get answered. Thanks for watching!!

A how to install video that left out the installing bit.

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

lol, That's correct, I apologize. I had a hard time installing the hood on my own because it was heavy and awkward. I had to wait for my wife to come home to help. By that time I was frustrated and failed to turn on the camera.

[@operationhotshotinc.6887]

How do you like it so far ? I’m thinking about getting this one

[@peteshowtosreviews8067]

I'm happy with it so far. The suction is good. it won't totally remove all the food smell from the house but does a good job for what it is. It's 100% better than what a standard builder grade range hood can do. I don't think you can do better for the price. Keep in mind, my opinion is based on the unit being ducted out of the house.
