Product review (5 stars): Stylish and effective
This hood is stylish, well built, easy to install, and effective. It is nearly silent on the low setting but as loud as any on the high setting. It does a great job of capturing and exhausting smoke over our commercial range due to its size and the design. Like a commercial hood it has a large hood to capture the fumes and the intake and fan are up inside. That way less smoke escapes to the kitchen.

The lights are very bright on the high setting and a little too bright for ambiance on the low setting. We usually leave them off unless we're cooking. Another reviewer mentioned that his wife burns herself on the lights reaching for the switch because they are too close together. I don't see how that's possible unless she constantly forgets where the switch is located. But this does bring up my one criticism.

The switches are mounted underneath the hood canopy where you cannot see them if you're over four feet tall. While I like that this allows for the clean lines and uncluttered look of the design, it is a bit annoying to have to bend down to look up for the switch. The other option is to fumble around blindly for it. It's not a deal-breaker but it could be improved.

All in all this is a great hood and I'm glad we decided to purchase it.
