Robinhood RWV3CL9G / RWV3CL6G / RIV3CL9G Curved Glass Canopy Questions & Answers

Hi
Sell the house! that's what we did! Jokes aside, we had a flickering bulb, which we tried to change as well. Never got round to it. I used to give it a tap to stop it flickering. A bit of a worry I know. As nice as they look, I too will be paying more money for a better quality range hood.

Hi Alexis. Our electrician has been out at our expense to solve the issue with the flaps not opening. The flaps simply should not extend above the flange, which is the cause of the problem. The fix entailed extending the flange with pipe so the flaps could open un-impeded as per gonads63's issue on this forum. This is clearly a design fault that Robinhood new about based on gonads63 review and post and yet nothing has been done prior to my purchase. I have photos I can show you. Our electrician is going to charge us to rectify this design fault and I am going to pass the account on to Rotorua Harvey Norman for at least a credit for the costs. Be aware this was the curved range hood. The Adonis 900. A more expensive model than the one that Gonads63 had. Our Electrician says the product is not fit for purpose as we had to introduce another product (pipe) to fix the issue. There is no indication within the installation instructions that a fault would arise from using the type of ducting we have.

Sorry but we were advised that there's nothing that can be done about the noise. We ended up not using the extraction side of it and just used the lights until a mouse very kindly chewed through the wiring and we replaced it with a Blanco which we are so happy with, we can actually hold a conversation while standing next to it!!!

Hi Tina

I trust you read my review re the flue, in particular the 'butterfly' being caught in the flexi duct (rigid ducting prevents this and also reduces the noise slightly as the technician informed us). In summary once re remedied the butterfly issue it operates great EXCEPT yes it is noisy.....next house we will put a high quality vac pac in, yes a lot more cost but that's what you have to pay to minimise the noise! We only chose this model as we liked the glass canopy and was the best option for the aesthetics...otherwise we would have bought I better quality quiet one...

Mice chewed threw the wires in the roof!!! Check your ceiling connections.

The power transformer had a melt down, on the printed circuit board, but the fuse alongside it didn't blow now its

Margaret,

Not easy to provide simple answer.
I considered the very lightweight bracket near useless & I did not use it.
But my install was a one-piece only chimney re-circulating installation.
The screws that carry the weight of the extraction unit are necessary but these could be bought from a local hardware store.
Maybe more important is accurately drilling to accept the plastic "wallplugs" provided.
They need to be a fairly tight fit & you need to be careful that inserting the screws does not withdraw the plugs.

OTOH if you mean the small screws to secure the light bracket I guess you will need them. However I do not think this method is particularly satisfactory anyway.
I can't help more without seeing your situation.
BTW you will need a power outlet installed behind where the chimney will sit. That will make for an invisible power source once installed.
That's something else I thought was pretty poorly thought through by Robinhood.
Good luck.
