So far, so good, we have just been using it for a few weeks. Was purchased to replace a working 20+ year off brand which we had painted black a few years ago to match a new stove which caused that corner of the kitchen to become dark. The new GE range hood looks really nice, brightens and lights up the cooking area and the fan does a good job moving the heat out when I cook. My favorite part is the location of the switches on the front where they are easily seen & reached. The only part I wish were different is the noise level.
