This was a replacement for a Viking Downdraft that died after about 10 years of infrequent use. This new unit was the the closest match to the existing opening in the granite countertop. It still took some work, not a drop and go. BUT, the location of the gas line and vent in my house wouldn't allow the blower to be on the stove side. FORTUNATELY, the KitchenAid came equipped with the parts needed to mount it on the opposite side and three options for where the blower would vent. So it allowed me to make the cabinet adjustments to pull this off. Once i made the cabinet mods, it worked immediately. Perfectly. Instructions were not great, in fact, darn right bad. But enough information I could make enough sense to figure it out. My only complaint is that on some of the sheet screws, the manuf overtightened and stripped the hole. So I have a few screws that really don't secure a couple locations perfectly. So i had to use metal tape to make sure it created a tight seam and air didn't blow out.

We replace our prior 23 year old Thermidor cooktop with this. This updated cooktop cleans so much more easily. Easy peasy!! As usual it has all the convenience of the Thermidor brand and we assume the reliability we have always experienced before.

Unit works fairly well, but has a horrendous design flaw. If the filters are removed, the unit closes when the button is pressed, but then it doesnt come back up. You have to call and pay service man to dismantle the entire unit. KA is not worth it - pay a little more go with a better brand. Their customer service was as unreliable as their product.
