Product review (5 stars): Great hood - great price...
I just installed this hood and so far am quite pleased.  The price was perfect, good quality design and construction.  I prefer this unit's halogen bulbs to LEDs which most hoods today offer.  These halogens are super bright which is great for cooking, but don't dim for a softer glow when not cooking.  The fan is powerful, I personally don't have any issue with the decibel, but we have a busy loud house and the 1-2 settings don't seem too loud for me at all.  This can be direct vented outside through wall or ceiling or it can be ventless, but additional filters must be purchased to make the ventless application work.  I have mine vented out through a soffit, we have 8' ceilings with a 12" soffit - the chimney comes in two 15" sections, I only used one and actually ended up cutting it down a bit to make it fit.  Our hood [pictured] is about 30.5" from the cook top.  It was a bit challenging to install per my application (into the soffit, etc.), but if your installatiin is more traditional I think it would be pretty straight forward.  I think this is a good product, especially for the money.  Came packaged well and protected with a film covering.  I don't care for the 6" plastic duct that comes with the unit, but if you know what you are doing, you can make it work.  BTW - the power connection is a regular 3 pronged male plug which has about a 4 or 5 foot cord.  Decent instructions included.
