Product review (1 stars): I feel Cheated/Conned
I bought this range hood after MUCH research.  I liked the vented microwave which had 2X the ventilation score but so many people thought this vented great (& I already have a microwave I love) that I ended up spending $100 more for this hood, charcoal filters & lights then I would have with the all-enclusive microwave. It cost $80 to have it installed professionally. I needed something as everytime I cook there is nowhere for the fumes to vent & my whole house smells like food all night.  Also, frying foods put grease into the air & it is coating the walls, cupboards & items I have above them with a film of oil which then attracks dust.  I have lived in this house 3 years & I finally couldn't take it anymore.  I have spent nearly 60 years in houses which ALL have outside venting hoods above the stove.  This is the first house (I had to downsize) I've owned that is so old the kitchen isn't vented.  So imagine my consternation when I finally spent the several hundred $$$ I don't have on my old-persons fixed income only to have my house still smell of food (& yes, the charcoal filters are installed correctly!) & the fan barely exhausts on HIGH setting! I spent $$$ I don't have for yet another product that doesn't do what it is suppose to! Yes, the noise level on LOW is barely discernable but that is because it is barely running & certaining not exhausting anything from the stove directly below.
