Almost Perfect - Cooker Hoods

The cooker hood itself looks good and certainly lets in enough air without being particularly noisy. The front buttons feel a bit cheap/loose, but at under $90, that's not enough to complain about. My only major complaint is with the installation guide and the included hardware. The only hardware included is 4 drywall screws, but (since it's an under-cabinet cover) most people plan on installing them in the cabinet, not the drywall. Because the holes are pre-drilled, it's impossible to guarantee (or avoid) a stud mount, and I don't trust drywall anchors to hold a device that weighs several pounds. There are instructions for hanging on a closet, but the instructions specifically show how to screw from the inside of the cabinet up, which results in you putting a considerable length of bolts/screws in your closet. You will also need to drill a separate hole for the connector - this is not mentioned. I used a 1" scoop and this gave me plenty of room as there is no way to temporarily remove the connector to later thread the smaller end of the cord through. I ended up using drywall anchors but still drilled out a separate screw and washer. (Fits M5) to support and reduce front side sag. I would give it 4 stars but the installation issues are frustrating. We haven't moved into the house yet so I'll update that soon. a few months after some use.
