Product review (3 stars): but I would really like to have an actual low setting
As others have noted, this hood is LOUD.  There is no real low setting - at the lowest speed it is still loud and too powerful for simmering something for example.  It does work well for stir frying or frying and is powerful, but I would really like to have an actual low setting.  If you want a hood for that is quiet and vents for light cooking, I would avoid.
