This exhaust fan fit perfectly behind our new wood hood enclosure. It has plenty of cfm's to remove all odor and smoke from the stove. It is quiet considering what it does. On high it's a bit noisy but one has to expect that. The installation was quite easy but I am pretty skilled so it may be harder for someone that is not skilled. The light is ample and this fan is 3 times better and quieter than our old fan that was almost as loud as a vacuum cleaner.

For a quality kitchen hood exhaust fan at a reasonable price this exhaust fan can't be beat.

I would suggest you use this fan behind one of the hood enclosures suggested by Broan.

Also in my past experience with Broan they back their warranties. Their customer service is also excellent.
