Product review (5 stars): Cooking with gas!  Powerful fan; great light; thin profile
We got a new fancy-ish gas range that said we needed a powerful fan, but we have a tiny kitchen and didn't want to take up our whole over the range storage with a big fat hood, so we decided to go for this even though we don't usually purchase such large items from Amazon--imagine trying to return this!  See photo with wok and wine bottle etc for scale. Anyhow, it seems to be working just fine for the first 2 months anyhow.  It is pretty loud even on low, but we have never had to turn it up to high. Maybe if you were cooking a batch of jam while making pasta and sauce while boiling potatoes you would need high.  Frankly it's kind of overkill for what we really do, but we were trying to follow directions.  Also, we learned later that with these powerful 600cfm fans you may need to check you local codes because they may require an extra outside air intake.... Luckily our house is old and very leaky, and we never use high anyhow, but according to the local appliance dealer, this can be a thing with tight new construction.  We do love that it seems very sturdy and it is definitely the skinniest one we could find at a moderate-ish price. The local dealer found one, but it would have been like $900 or something, so we took the internet order plunge.  The lights are so bright; we love them--never realized how weak our previous one was before!
