Island Mount Range Hoods 900 CFM Ducted Kitchen Vent Hoods IKIS02

As others have noted, installing this hood under an 8' ceiling is a problem. I opted to use just one of the duct covers. First I drilled holes through the top plate and the supporting 2x4s in the attic to take 4 long bolts. Then I attached the flexible duct to the fan assembly. I attached the top plate to the "angle irons" and then to the fan & hood assembly on the counter top. I then slid the duct cover over from the top. Using the cardboard box it came in and bits of lumber I elevated the hood until the top plate was in position snug on the ceiling. Now the hard part: I crawled into the attic and working through the duct hole, jiggled the top plate around until I could slide the bolts from the bottom through the top plate and 2x4s, and then I installed washers and nuts. Tightening the nuts cinched the assembly nice and firmly to the ceiling.

I think I could have come up with a better design to make installation a lot less challenging. For one, everything is assembled with frustrating tiny little nuts and bolts. Bring your good glasses!

5/17/2024 update: I was contacted by Iktch and they generously resolved the issues I had to my satisfaction. Now that the hood is installed we are very pleased with the looks, performance, and the quality of the product. Updated 3 stars to 5 stars.

Love it

Did a kitchen remodel and picked this hood. Looks great, and has good suction.

This was easy to install, no hassles. Looks great in the Kitchen, matches with other appliances.
Only thing is that when the fan is turned on, it is a bit loud than I expected.
Love it, would recommend this to other buyers.
in addition, the hands free is component is great!!!!

We finally were able to install this product today. It looks fantastic and functions with high suction and quiet fan. Exactly what we wanted. The only disappointment is there a dent on one side, that we did not notice when we unpacked it. We had a delay with construction of our kitchen ceiling causing an installation delay.
Having difficulty filing a report with Amazon. We would hate to take it down and return it, but that may be what happens.
