Broan-NuTone Mantra range hood - lights and fan

This is a brief video to go along with my review of the "Broan-NuTone Mantra AVSF1 30 in. 375 Max Blower CFM Convertible Under-Cabinet Range Hood with Light in Stainless Steel, Model # AVSF130SS" Full review: Attractive range hood, bright lights, strong fan that is surprisingly quiet. Installation might be easier than other models, but it’s definitely not EZ. INSTALLATION: Don’t let the “EZ1” install system fool you - I wouldn’t recommend this for a novice. It requires knowledge of electrical work, ductwork, and power tools. You will need to procure additional parts. Houses are rarely perfect and you may need to make “adjustments”. This is not the fault of the range hood, just the complex realities of houses. INSTRUCTIONS: But if you have decent skills then “EZ1” will make it easier than a conventional install. If only the instructions were better! The diagrams are too small, and some of the instructions are worded in a confusing way. Particularly the steps for installing the mounting brackets. It would have been simpler if they said, “use the mounting bracket as a spacer” - i.e., put both next to each other on one side. Mark the location of the “inner” one (away from the sides). Repeat on the other side. You still have to lift the unit tightly up against the bracket and slide it backwards until it clicks into place. Any bumps or imperfections on the underside of the cabinet will interfere. But once it’s there you no longer have to support it while you add four screws to permanently anchor it. FUNCTIONALITY: The two LEDs are very bright. A “night light” function would have been nice, but as task lights, they’re excellent. The fan has two speeds - the lower is quiet, the faster is noticeable but not at all objectionable - you can hear it in the video. You can install the unit ducted or ductless - I chose the latter, so it blows the hot air or smoke up and over your head. If you’re very tall you’ll want to use the ducted approach. The filters are only grease shields, not charcoal filters. The stainless steel fingerprints VERY easily (see pic right out of the box), but cleans up with soap and water (avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives). TIP on TERMINOLOGY and PARTS: The instructions call for “Strain relief, 1/2” diameter (to secure house wiring cable to the hood)”. You’ll need this part from Home Depot: “3/8 in. Non-Metallic (NM) Twin-Screw Cable Clamp Connectors (5-Pack)”. Yes, the ⅜” clamp fits the ½” knockout. Overall a very nice range hood for a reasonable price. Recommended.
