Product review (5 stars): Great exhaust fan
I won't call myself a professional cook but I do cook many things from scratch: spaghetti sauce, apple sauce, jelly....  I've used this hood for nearly two years without any trouble.  It works great.  Usually only need the low speed although I do start it on medium to get the air flow started.  The medium and high speed are noisier but you can live with it when it's needed.
