Product review (4 stars): Quiet, stylish
I purchased one of these from Lowes and it was an open box, last one deals. I got a really good price, but it made a horrible noise, something like the fan blade striking something. It got returned. I bought this one from Amazon for about $50 more but at least it works. Installation was fairly easy with help. It could be installed by one person, but it is easier with two. We like the looks a lot. The fan on low is really hard to hear, even right up on it. On high, you can hear the fan, but it still is not too loud. In fact the fan on high is quieter than my old one was on low. The lights (bulbs not included) really flood the cooking surface with light. So much better than the old flourescent lamp our old hood had. The bulbs can be very expensive, but I found them on Amazon for a lot less than the store.
