Product review (5 stars): Stood the test of time...
Our last Broan Range Hood was in place for about 45 years.  I go crazy looking for a replacement until I found (duh) the same model Broan range hood. Proof Broan has made this range hood for decades. The last model was a dual exhaust fan and we much prefer this single exhaust.  Very quite and beautiful.  While the stainless steel is a fingerprint magnet it should only be a problem around the knobs. I prefer if more blue tape covered the beveled vent for the installation. Greasy prints still got on the hood during installation.

It is versatile in that it has removable plates for top or rear exhaust. If you have no external vent this model users charcoal filters (sold separately) to vent inside the house through the forward black vent.  If you vent externally, be sure to keep the baffle -the rectangular black plastic strip.  It drops down the top of the forward vent to help air push out the other vent.  The forward vent is only for internal venting with the charcoal filter. Otherwise the aluminum mesh filter is dishwasher safe.

I screw in the two suggested 40 Watt bulbs and can not put on the white diffuser without it touching the bulbs.  It is a very tight fit and heat from the bulbs could melt and burn the diffuser over time.  I realize it needs smaller bulbs.  The next day, a quick trip to Rite Aid yields two GE 40 Watt ceiling fan bulbs.  (A15).  The smaller bulbs fit perfectly and are vibration resistant, which is perfect as they are mounted in front of the venting fan.  While only 355 Lumens each, they both provide more light than the single 40 Watt bulb prior.  Would be nice if the instructions say something about the bulb size up front.

The fan starts with a louder hum before it settles in and blows relatively quiet at 4.5 Sones.  But at 200 CFPM air flow this is technically underpowered.  A 36 inch wide hood should be 300 CFM, or 100 CFM per foot. Not a problem as the fan creates great draw.

I love it because our former Broan was old, broken and just disgusting. The fan had not worked in years.  My father replaced the motor in that thing twice over the decades. The beveled front leaves room to open the cabinet door to the right of it.  All the small details which made finding the right hood a big deal was an even bigger deal to find the same replacement model.  It is amazing to find the same model which fits. Good job Broan.
