Westinghouse Integrated WRI Series

Noisy (but I haven't ducted it to outside, so that might fix that). The hob2hood function is the dumbest idea ever. This turns on/off and adjusts speed of the rangehood exhaust fan based on the temp of the matching cooktop. According to the manual: "compatible rangehoods work seamlessly with your induction or ceramic cooktop to clear your kitchen of cooking smells and steam. As you start cooking, the rangehood will automatically turn on then intuitively adjust the fan speed and airflow to match your cooking. How's that for hands-free convenience?"

How is it? Horrible. Constantly changing fan speed when not required. You can empty your pots after finishing cooking, turn rangehood off, put pots back, and it turns on again because it's still hot on the cooktop. No steam or fumes anymore, but Westinghouse knows best.

Recommend not getting a matching cooktop and not using unless you intend to duct to outside.

Good – The lighting is good but sometimes play up flashing on and off. Very noisy when in use but suction works well so that explains it. Cleaning wise it is ok.

Terrible. Stopped working after 9 months! – I bought this rangehood through Appliances Online. We used it lightly for 9 months at which point it started to be really loud and not effective in extraction. It then blew completely creating a loud electrical POP before it stopped altogether. We had to wait weeks for someone from Westinghouse to visit to check it, who is suggesting and replacement. We have not yet been contacted by Westinghouse as to when it will be replaced. Very disappointing!

Furthermore, when I wrote the review above on the Westinghouse website, it was “not approved” by the Westinghouse team and was deleted! Trying to cover up customer experiences with faulty products - poor form Westinghouse.
