Why would anyone design this intentionally?!

I can only agree with other 1 star reviews. I noticed the design flaw immediately when my builder put this in the new home. Unfortunately, I was given no other hood options. I mentioned it to the builder right away, but to no effect. I assume they got a great deal on these and have installed them in all houses in my neighborhood. I had hoped that a hood cover could be purchased for underneath, as the internals appear to be made for one. But nothing exists; this is the actual design. Because this looks so ridiculous, I will now be purchasing a new hood, guaranteed to not be a Whirlpool!

Loud and Ugly

Purchased all new Whirlpool Gold Series stainless appliances for our new home. The builder installed this hood. It is advertised as quiet, but exactly the opposite. Very loud when run at full speed. Underside is open & looks terrible in the new kitchen. Plan on removing it and buying something that is better suited.

So ugly it ruins the look of my whole new kitchen

Don't buy it if you care at all how this is going to look in your kitchen.If you carefully look at the pictures, you'll see that the bottom portion of this doesn't come covered. It has two holes towards the back on each side in the internal walls as if something were supposed to be there, but no... there are no accessories to hide this eyesore. Ridiculous design. Anybody under 6 feet can see the bottom unfinished part of this ugly thing and all the grease it's going to gather. I'm so upset the builder put this in my brand new house. It ruined the way my kitchen looks. I wish I could do something about it.

I love the speed adjustment for the fan. No clunky speed settings like some of the others. Simply rotate the knob until you get the speed/sound you want.

Bought this item 2 months ago and have found it to be a fairly priced, good item. Works well, providing us what we needed in replacing an older unit.
