Product review (2 stars): Meh
It's a non-ducted hood, so it's only going to be so good since it can't vent outside.

Size: I checked a bunch of range hoods out at a local store before settling on this one.  I was disappointed that even the higher-end models at three times the price didn't fully cover the entire oven like my old one did - it's the same case with this Broan model.  This one's lip is very short and only covers a bit more than half of the range, instead of the entire range (on a standard 30" oven/range), which makes it pretty useless for capturing smoke & steam from the front burners.

Noise: Yes, it's noisier than my old one (and somewhat flimsier, but it's not like I ever touch anything other than the fan & light switch on it, so whatever).  I can't tell if the fan really works because smokey stuff (on the back burner, which actually goes up into the capture area) still stinks up my kitchen.  The fan noise is fairly obnoxious too, it sounds like it's been installed for ages & is old instead of brand new, if you've ever heard a well-used fan before.

Filter: After reading through the reviews, I did buy the five-dollar charcoal filter.  The stock one is a blue one and the one that Amazon suggests has what appears to be a black carbon filter on it.  I can't tell if it makes a difference between it still smokes out my kitchen because the lip only covers half the stove, and even the stuff that is filtered still blows smokey air into the room, so what good is it?  What a dumb design, to not fully cover a standard-size stove - I would have gotten the more expensive one with the dual filters & better lights, but that one covered the same area, was three times more expensive, and there aren't really any other good non-ducted options on the market that I could find easily in-store or on Amazon.

My lightbulb shorted out when I turned it on the third day in, so I don't know if that's a defective or just a random coincidence.  It was fairly easy to install, although the holes were different than my old one & I had to get a drill to punch holes where the wood lip was on my upper cabinets.  That was kind of lame.

Overall, disappointed, but I more or less knew what I was getting into.  For the price, it is what it is.  It doesn't look horrible, at least, and it's slightly better than having nothing to funnel the air in at all, I guess.  It was super easy to install, aside from the some of the holes (in particular the front right) not lining up with my (standard-sized) cabinets.  I was hoping it was going to be better than it was based on the the high numbers of stars & reviews.  Oh well.
