Product review (5 stars): Perfect
We bought this when we bought our new stainless steel appliances for the kitchen, and as always, Broan delivers excellent quality!

Even at the highest speed, this fan is quieter than our old one, and at low and medium it's very quiet.  I can cook anything on the stove top and get excellent exhaust - no inadvertently setting off the smoke detectors when frying bacon - and smells don't linger in the house after cooking.  Note - we're exhausting to the outside, so I have no idea how this would work if you were recirculating instead.

The lights are very hot halogen, and we replaced them almost immediately with LEDs, but the controls are designed in front so that even if you leave the halogen bulbs in you won't accidentally burn yourself reaching to turn the lights off.  Our old GE hood had the controls hidden under the edge, and I was constantly burning myself trying to find the light and fan controls.

Great addition for our kitchen, and Broan is always quality!
