Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Gorgeous looking range hood that compeiments our new stove & refrigerator that we also replaced recently. Very streamlined looking and appears very robust & well-made. Much heavier than the old hood (20 years old) it replaced but that was expected since the Tatsumaki has at least 50% more CFM than the old range hood so I'm assuming larger motors in the Tatsumaki. The dual fans have 6 speed levels and are very quiet in the lower 2 settings but gets louder as you increase the speed (but not insanely loud like our old one) but it's to be expected. If you possess decent DYI skills & have the proper tools, self-installation is possible. I would classify the installation difficulty as moderate only because the weight (approx. 41 pounds) of the unit requires at least 3 people to situate it properly. Forty-one pounds is not overly heavy in a sense by itself but it's question of leverage and amount of room to work with. I also had to be a bit of a contortionist to reach the rear mounting holes in the back of the unit but it stands to reason that these issues are inherent to most exhaust hood installations.nThat being said, our new Tatsumaki range hood is mounted, looks gorgeous & works like a charm!
