Product review (3 stars): Looks nice in average lighting
For the price, this does it's job, but barely.
Looks nice in average lighting.
The quality is shabby to say the least - it's spot welded in a handful of place.
You'll notice it when it's darker and the light is on, which will spotlight the huge gaps in the hood construction.
The airflow is par for the course for a cheap hood.
Nearly or more noisy than the 40 year old hood I replaced.
If you're trying to get a good char on a steak, for example, disable your smoke alarms - this hood will NOT contain the smoke, even at the fastest setting. Well, there are only 2, and neither will handle it.
I bought this as a quick fix to a nasty 40 year old hood I had.
For that, it works.
When I formally redo my kitchen, I would not even consider this.
Good for the price, bad in the long run.
If you are using this as a quick looks good upgrade it works.
Outside of that, just spend more money on a quality, higher air flow, quieter hood.
You'll be thankful.
