this is well design hood. the filter is easy to clean. the most important thing i buy this because it has grease oil tray. my old hood costs about $1500, it does have a grease oil tray, and the filters are uncleanable. i has been shopping around for awhile for a 36”, easy clean filter and has grease oil tray. i believe this is the only one in the market. i don’t know the quality of the product and hope it can last for more than 10 years.
