Product review (3 stars): Beware of scratches and dents.
I just installed it and overall, it is doing okay for me. I do wish the lowest setting was less noisy. My house has an open kitchen/living room so the noise is a bit of an issue. My biggest problem with the product are the scratches on the baffles. When I opened the box, I noticed the baffles had a protective sticker on the side of the baffle that is visible from the outside. But when I removed the baffle to look at the inside, I saw the baffles were very badly scratched up and had no protective sticker. My wife wanted to return the product. I rationalized that it would be okay since no one could see this part of the hood and kept the product. After installing, I removed the protective sticker from the baffle and saw that although the sticker showed no wear and tear, the actual surface of the baffle underneath had a few dents. My wife is very upset with the dents and I have to admit, it is bothering me too. Prior to purchasing this hood, we had bought one other one and the steel on that one was visible cheaper and thinner than this one. Overall, the product functions and is okay. Would be happier if the baffles didn't have any dents or scratches.
