Not recommend

I picked this hood based on its design and the Bosch name. But now that I own it, I would not buy one again. Here is the good, the not good, and the bad.
In its favor, the hood has four large grease traps with twice the surface area of the KitchenAid hood it replaced. The result is great air flow. The hood is a little quieter and moves far more air.
Not so good is the ergonomics of the pull out. It is a thin strip of metal and sits flush with the bottom of the hood. There is no easy way to grab it. You have to stick your fingers in a narrow gap and pry it open. I also don't like the controls on the underside of the hood. You can't see them and they are inconvenient to get to.
Now the bad. The blower motor came out of balance. The motor and the entire hood vibrate when the hood is on. You can see it and feel it. I immediately placed a service call with Bosch and a repairman came the next week. He said the vibration is normal and refused to replace the motor. However, I'm am engineer and I know this is not normal. The bearings in the motor are not designed to take this kind of abuse. I expect the blower will fail at some point after the warrantee expires, leaving me with a repair bill.

Great Vent Hood!

I like the low profile of this hood. It works great, has plenty of light and the vent has plenty of power to suck out all of the unwanted kitchen smells.

Pleased with my new Bosch Pull-out Hood

My new Bosch Pull-out Hood fits perfectly in the space of the previous hood (different brand) and performs as expected. I particularly like the carbon air filter and upgraded surface lighting.

So easy to use I didn't know it was there

Fantastic design and functionality combined. It is so well designed that I didn't know it was there and only realized when someone showed me that the light and fan is automatically activated by simply sliding out the hood!

Perfect range hood

Our old range hood was so low that we would bump our heads every time we used the cooktop. This one is very slim and stylish. Asked our neighbors how they liked it and they couldn't even tell it was there until I pulled it out. Lights are great. Exactly what we were looking for.

Looks good. Installation instructions not intuitiv

Seems to work well and looks good. Installation (especially related to plastic plate) was not helpful. Also there were no screws to attach that plate. I couldn't find any that small.

Minimalist Italian-Made Hood

None of our local dealers had this hood on display, so we took a chance ordering. Glad we did. It comes set up to mount on the flat bottom of a cabinet, but there is a second set of holes that allow you to drop the mounting apparatus lower, such as if you have a 1-1/2 inch wood frame around the bottom of the cabinet, as in the attached photo. Vertical adjustment to fit the space is made very easy with two machine screws. Bosch's literature doesn't give you much information, except for the cut-out size. We didn't see any reason to get one of those kitchen-dominating fancier hoods. I took one point off because it's not very quiet, even on low, but it does it's job very well.
