I bought this hood after months of research. I was not disappointed and very happy with it. The blower is powerful hence a little loud but that is how I cannot smell any food in my new kitchen when it is on. The website said it was meant for 9.5 feet which is how high my ceiling but when I received it, it was short,  Wayfair sent me an extension for free as they realized that their description was not correct and customer service was excellent. I recommend this hood highly. The lights are also strong but would prefer led instead of halogen not a big deal though
