The media could not be loaded. I've installed an iktch before and unfortunately I burned up the circuit board with a power issue. Luckily the owner of the company was extremely helpful and attentive, and directed me to the correct part to replace on his sellers page. It was easy to replace and overall very happy with the last one. This one is of equal quality if not better and looks very sleek! I haven't installed it yet in my next project but I will update later with photos of it installed. I plugged it in as you can see in the video and everything was working well, definitely a 900 cfm fan it was pretty strong. Looks like it will be easy to wipe off and keep clean, easier than stainless steel for sure. It has a remote which is a nice touch and the hand gestures are cool too. I mostly find myself using the touch buttons but if your hands are dirty with food or whatever the hand gestures are nice as well!

I think this will be great-if only I can install it! It came without the square to round adapter.
So far, iKTCH won't respond. They don't list a number for customer service, email only.

Update: I've had the fan for about three months. I finally got the hang of the gesture controls:

-wave left to right for light on and fan speed 1 OR wave right to left for fan speed 4 and no light.

They do work most of the time and I have actually enjoyed this feature more than I thought. The fan still blows wonderfully. Overall, a very happy buyer.

I had the same issue as another reviewer regarding the blower mounts missing screws. The screws, washers, and nuts were rattling in the unit when I took it out of the box, and I assumed someone just dropped them during assembly. It wasn't until the following day when the blower sounded awful (hitting it several times didn't help) that I realized those screws went to the mount. It seems someone at their factory is forgetting to torque all the screws upon completion.

Despite this, the fan is very powerful and works great. Installation was straightforward and the manual helped. Once the motor is PROPERLY mounted, it is also very quiet even on High (speed 4). The gesture control doesn't work consistently for me and I will not be using it. The inclusion of a remote is quite odd to me, and the button functions are not inherently obvious, but I suppose it is preferable for some people. For the price and overall aesthetics, I am fairly happy now that it's installed.

I just got it installed, haven't used it much but from testing it out it's works great. Just beware that the installation is quite difficult"¦at least for me who is by no mean handy, I had to buy some pine studs from Lowes to build a supporting frame for the sides, I unplugged and move the stove out of the way, hoisted the thing up and had to rest it on my head to get it properly leveled while my wife provided additional support (the thing is pretty heavy), then find the out of reach holes to screws it onto the studs"¦huge PITA to do, definitely a two persons job.

I am happy it's done, looks great. Hopefully I did an ok job and it's not gonna fall down lol.

UPDATE 11/30/2022

Now that I have used this for over a month, I want to provide some further updates, first, it didn't fall down, so I am patting myself on the back lol.

I'm adding some pictures to show my setup, hopefully it'd be useful for others. First, I had to use this as a ductless setup, as you can tell from the first photo, I don't have ventilation to outside, the cabinet in the middle is just a veneer, it is completely hollow inside (picture 2: looking up from underneath) and obviously that's where the range hood get inserted into.

As alluded to previously, the length of the range hood is about 1'' away from either side of the cabinet wall, picture 3 shows the stud that I place on both side of the wall, so the range hood will fit snugly when inserted.

As for the range hood itself, I have used it daily, for normal sautéing, I usually use the lowest fan speed, or go up one level at most, I rarely have to go up to the max (I reserved that for steaks), and it does a fantastic jobs of sucking up the smoke/steam.

I also use the hand waving to turn it on and off, which I found to be extremely helpful, especially during cooking and I don't want to look underneath to press the button.

Overall, super impressed with the range hood, it looks very nice and works very well. Because of this, even thought the installation could still be a pain, I'm upping this from 4 to 5 stars purely for its performance.

Purchased the iKTCH 30 inch range hood for a kitchen remodel. I was impressed with the quality and the finishes on this insert. It is much quieter and feature packed than my previous vent fan.

The gesture control for the fan speed, and the variable lighting control are really nice features of this vent insert. However, they do take a little practice to figure out exactly how to work with them. A handheld remote control is also included that can be another nice feature. However, Better user instructions would be helpful for all.

The manufacturer should improve the current documentation. A more detailed user manual and installation guide would be very helpful to customers and the DYI-ers who are installing this fan.

But overall, I think this is a great unit and will work well for my application.
