Product review (3 stars): Some great features and look but LOUD
5 stars for looks.
5 stars for the 3 step dim function on the lights, we often have it on the lowest setting just for ambiance but it's good enough to see in the pots and pans as well. I like that this hood has the conventional GU10 halogen bulbs, which gives you the option to change it out for LED bulbs (I'm not a big fan of the stark white light myself).
5 stars for the timer that shuts off the fan after 15 minutes
So why 3 star overall rating? This hood is LOUD. If you set it to 2 you can barely hold a conversation (since your head is stuck in the hood). On 3: forget it. This setting is for emergencies like burned potatoes only....
