We just had this Chef range hood installed. It looks great, was easy to install and it really sucks (a good thing). At the highest fan setting, it is loud but it also is effective in eliminating cooking odors instantly. The lowest fan setting is quiet enough for casual conversation while cooking veggies or pasta. The cons are the clock only displays in 24-hour mode and the LED lights are not 3000K like all our other LED lights in the kitchen. This range vent does everything we wanted it to do and are 100% satisfied.
