Product review (5 stars): simple hood, easy install, great price
I was doubtful, even after reading the reviews, that this would work as it was so cheap.  It does brilliantly! You will need to get yourself some electric cord to do the wiring as they only give you about 8 inches of wire.  Apart from that, it is so easy to install (15 mins completely). It pulls the cooking smells and steam up into it's filter so now i don't end up with pink cheeks whilst standing over the stove! There is limited smell of cooking in the room, let alone the rest of the house.  The light is great too.
I purchased the biscuit coloured hood as my cabinets are pale cream and it matches almost exactly!  I'm sure the $400 hoods are the bomb, but for $40 this is superb (having never had a hood before i can't compare).  But it's the best Christmas present to date!
