I've had my hood about 3 years so far.  Works great. This was the only stainless island hood available in the dimensions I needed that didn't require outside venting, yet is powerful enough to handle wok steam and pasta pots. Attractive with 4 speeds and terrific lighting. The recessed halogen bulbs swivel slightly in their sockets, but do throw a lot of heat -- enough to crack the little glass cover on one when steam got inside. (Replacement bulbs don't have covers unfortunately but a small point and doesn't affect performance.) Love the dual set of controls on both sides of the unit -- smart!
The inside screen is sleek and easy to clean.  Installation also was easier than most island hoods according to the independent installer who put it in.  Overall I love it. You will too.
