Hauslane Chef Series PS18 Range Hood

The PS18 has a sones rating of 7. While it is quite powerful at 860 CFM, you should expect a noticeable hum when running it at maximum speed, similar to the sound of a standard kitchen vent hood.

If you are comfortable with basic electrical work and ducting, you can likely install this yourself. However, because it is a ducted unit that requires a 6-inch vent connection, we recommend hiring a professional if you are not experienced with home ventilation systems.

Not at all. The stainless steel baffle filters are designed to be dishwasher-safe, so you can simply pop them out and run them through a cycle to remove grease buildup.

This feature allows the fan to continue running for a set period after you finish cooking to clear out any lingering smoke or odors. Once the timer finishes, the unit turns itself off automatically, so you don't have to remember to go back and switch it off.

Yes, this range hood requires a 6-inch duct diameter. Ensure your kitchen's existing ductwork matches this size or can be adapted before purchasing to ensure proper airflow and performance.

The PS18 uses a buttonless touch screen interface. While it is sleek and easy to wipe clean, you will need to tap the surface to adjust settings, so it is best to wipe your hands before operating the controls.
