Rated 5 out of 5 by S1042 Impressive smoke and odor removal
We've been very impressed with the unit's ability to draw smoke and odors up the vents and out of the kitchen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by David09 Great look and reduces food odors in kitchen
This is a really effective Blower hood. Having the detachable screen makes it easy to clean. And the variation of the fan using the knob is personally preffered versus having only 3 settings.
The only downside to this is that the light and fan knobs are located somewhat inside the hood. While this makes the look of the hood appear very professional, it is annoying to reach up and under to turn on the light and or fan.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Carito Good product. Easy to clean and powerful.
We cook a lot, and were looking for a powerful range hood. This model is very powerful. In fact, we almost never use it at full force (it is a little loud at high speeds). I like that the filters are stainless and therefore durable. They are easily cleaned in the dishwasher. There are two drawbacks as far as I can see. One is that the lightbulbs are difficult to change given the tight opening and the depth of the bulb in it. The other is that sometimes I get drops of grease accumulating on the front edge of the hood. I am not sure why this happens. However, it is easily wiped off with a paper towel. In all, I would recommend this hood for serious cooks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kevin Good Range Hood
Stylish range hood delives good performance. Noise is on the laud side. It's easy to clean the filter in dishwasher. It's not so easy to clean grease inside of the hood. Overall, it's good product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jfrenchie It's a great looking hood that removes smoke.
It installed easily, though the damper got a little bent. I had to really tape well the exhaust duct because the air was so powerful it was blowing out between the seems. I was able to seal it well so there is no longer that problem.
It is powerful, but loud, which can be expected.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Bernie This product has great features
Contractors had no trouble installing the range hood. It does an effective job of pulling grease and other odors out of the air, so long as you adhere to the instructions of turning the fan on for a minute or two before it is needed, in order for the air flow to adjust. We like the ease of being able to put the filters in the dishwasher for cleaning. The fan is louder than we had hoped, but performance outweighs the noise.

Rated 1 out of 5 by jem25464 This fan is way way too loud!
It is impossible to have a conversation with anyone in the room while cooking near this fan. Impossible to hold a telephone conversation as well. Just awful. I would rip it out if I could. Can't imagine that people live with it actually.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ConnieW Works fair, noisier than expected
Looks great. Functions well over the cook top, but expected that odors would be removed from the whole kitchen area. Advertised as one of the more quiet units, but still a bit noisier than I expected,
