For the price, it works great and looks about the same as the picture. I've only ever known poor quality hoods, so can't speak to how it compares to more expensive ones.

Update Feb 16, 2019: Have used it for several months now. It does seem to be good for the price, but I’m really skeptical about the cfm rating. The house doesn’t smell for long after having it on, but pan frying on high heat still sets off the smoke detector.
