Great product, self install is a little silly
The product itself is great. Looks great, works great, actually kind of a focal point in our "great room".The goofy little tools and screws to put it together are ridiculous. Two different "star" wrenches that need a screw driver in combination is crazy. Dropped the star wrench into the body of the unit TWICE. Had to find an extendable magnet to retrieve it. Move to the same size star wrench and include it in the tools.NEXT: 3 different size screws, all of which are almost the same size. Difficult to differentiate a 2mm screw from a 3mm screw, since I am an American. Make them all the same for the next guy.But after the install, it really is great.

Wait until you need to replace the light bulb
We have only had this range hood in operation for just over two months. The hood is attractive and the vent system works well. It is quiet except for the high level but that is expected. In just two months the light bulb burned out. I was more that shocked to find the replacement bulb can only be purchased from Whirlpool or its authorized dealers. It is a special bulb and no regular bulb will fit. The cost of the bulb is $26.76 EACH plus shipping which cost me an additional $8.99. If I have to replace bulbs every two months that will be a significant expenditure over a year. I will not be purchasing any other Whirlpool appliances and may look to replace this one with another brand.

Distinctive and funtional
I love this range hood. It makes a bold statement in a modern kitchen, and more importantly, functions very well.Pros:Beautiful designBright LED lighting for cookingAutomatic light sensing night-light (the glass glows!)Very quiet fanCons:This vent was not easy to install. Do not attempt unless you know what you are doing and have a team of at least 3 people. The installation instructions are mediocre at best. There were parts that I still have no idea what they are to be used for. Thankfully, none of them seem to compromise the structural integrity.

Sleek and beautiful
This replaced a 36 year old vent that was built in with wood to match the old cabinets. This is so much prettier and less bulky. The light actually lights up the cook top and the fan clears the air quickly when needed. We really enjoy the "night light" feature that comes on automatically when it gets dark. The tiny LED that shines of the edge of the glass is not only very cool looking, but a perfect night for the evening. I am so glad I opted for this option, instead of having to turn the big lights on and off constantly.

We like it a lot!
Very pleased w/our Whirlpool kitchen hood. It looks great and wasn't too difficult for my husband to install. The extractor does what it's supposed to. Personally, food smells don't bother me too much, but that drives my hubby crazy. He's very pleased with this product!

Does not block any view, and does the job exceptionally well
I had to have an air conditioning duct moved so that I could have 30" clearance from the stove top, because I have a soffit that is only 44" from the stove top.

Big Mistake
Just had this installed today. It is too low for my island/8 foot ceilings and I'm sure I will be hitting my face when I try to cook. I was told there is no reducer kit. I love the night light feature and it would be beautiful but the glass just cannot be cleaned. Smudges even when trying to wipe with clear water. I am so sad and disappointed that I spent close to $1,000 and am stuck with this. I can't speak for performance but high is loud. Don't have my cooktop in yet.

Waste of money
We had it for about 6 months, and I agree with Marcia, the bulb was out in less than 2 months and haven't had the chance to order it since it is not available any place, and also the buttons on the fan are all loose, I press one button to turn the fan on or off, and another one will pop right out. So basically it was a waste of money, no use to it in my kitchen. Very disappointing

Nightlight not just for show
This range hood is very quiet except at its highest settings. Would be nice if the fan settings was a variable knob verses push button levels. At first I thought the night light feature was a gimmick, but it actually has become very handy since the range hood is close to an external entryway, so it helps with finding keys at night. The glow is not too bright to be annoying from other rooms and is very stylish.

Attractive Unit but NO Trim Ring or Whirlpoo Logo
I had this installed by professionals a little over a month ago. The sales team was excellent in helping me select what would work in my existing kitchen and actually recommended one that had an excellent rating and less expensive. I went with the Whirlpool, because I wanted it to match my new oven and refrigerator. Well there is no LOGO on this hood, so what difference did that make? This was the most expensive unit and it did not come with a trim Ring to go around the duck that goes to the ceiling. So now I have the additional cost of having someone do spackling and painting around the hood. Was there supposed to be a trim ring in the kit??? This is an attractive looking hood. It's quiet on low and medium and a bit louder high. Venting is good.Has nice lighting around the glass. It does show the grease and the glass steams up and streaks. Must be cleaned regularly. But so far all seems to be working okay.
