Product review (5 stars): Happy wife (and it is magnetic)
We needed to replace our vintage 1978 harvest gold range hood and shopped quite a bit.  All of the models we liked in stores were very expensive ($1000+).  We stumbled into this one while shopping online and started considering it.  Mocked up the measurements and liked what we expected in the size of the hood.  Ordered it up thinking if it were bad, we could return it and try again.

No return needed.  The hood is really pretty nice and exceeded our expectations at this price point.  The stainless is nicely finished and looks really nice.  The fan does a great job extracting fumes and smoke.  The CFL light is REALLY  bright and is a nice added bonus.  We swapped in an LED night light bulb and it works good.  The filters are easy to get to and remove for cleaning.  We were happy to find that it was also magnetic (nice place to hold a recipe while working).

One review I read criticized how loud the fan is... yes... it can be loud.  If you are using the fan at full pull strength she will be loud, but at this CFM level, I would expect it to be loud.  True commercial units are deafening loud, so why would I expect a silent sucker in my house?  At the lower fan levels, she is nearly silent and works well for preventing heat build up in the kitchen.  The higher levels are louder but can also do some serious pulling!

Overall, we are very happy and I don't think i could improve anything without pushing it out of the price range.
