Product review (5 stars): Highly recommended for high heat cooking.
This is a fantastic hood. I seasoned a carbon steel wok on an 18000 btu burner for half an hour, a process that creates an incredible amount of smoke and fumes, and the Typhoon cleared the air perfectly.

If you really like to cook get as many CFM as you possibly can you will not regret it. There is nothing better than clear air in the kitchen to encourage being in the kitchen!  Just remember to crack open an outside door or window (or get the Zephyr make up air damper: http://amzn.com/B00D59E9UK) because this unit running at full volume can easily create negative pressure in your house.

I will agree with other posters that the install could be a little bit better. I ended up forgoing the included screws and using lag bolts instead. It made the process quite simple and very secure.

Bottom line is that this unit works great, it's quite, and doesn't look out of place over a pro style range.
