Product review (5 stars): This non-ducted hood is the perfect solution for me
Our old poorly-designed kitchen had no vent hood over the cooktop which let grease, vapors and odors travel everywhere.  I had to find a solution but there really was no way to route a vent pipe to the outside without a complete kitchen redesign.  This non-ducted hood is the perfect solution for me.  It captures most of the vapors and steam and pulls them through a grease trap that also includes a charcoal filter for odor control and back into the room.  So far the results are very good and my kitchen is staying clean.  I'm really pleased with this purchase.  The installation went easily and quickly.  I've had experience with Broan products in the past and found them to be extremely noisy and irritating when in operation.  This is NOT the case with this hood.  The operating noise is not excessive and we don't find it irritating to have it running.  The design is nothing fancy but it looks good without breaking the bank.
