Product review (5 stars): Efficient and cost effective.
Ordered this a few months ago, and have loved it ever since I got it installed. I installed it primarily myself, with the help of a few other people to lift it into place. Before, I had a little bathroom style vent, and every other day we would set off the smoke detectors when cooking. Not anymore. Just this evening, I was heating up an iron skillet and turned around to chop some vegetables, and when I looked back the pan was smoking quite a bit. I increased the fan speed to the max, and it sucked the smoke right up. For reference, my ceiling is 7 1/2 feet. The only thing I think could use some improvement is the lights. They are bright, but useless on their own. My other kitchen lights are more than adequate, and since this is a vent, it's not really hampering my enjoyment of the device. The existing hole was a little large, so I got moulding to cover the gap.
