Product review (4 stars): this hood really SUCKS! in a good way
I installed HVAC for years before going back to school for engineering. From the HVAC side...this hood really SUCKS! in a good way. It has more than enough to pull any unwanted smells or smoke out of the kitchen. From an engineering point of view, I would say the metal is a little thin. This hood is not cheap or flimsy in any way, but the top could be a little stiffer. The unit does not shake while running, but I think it would if the squirrel cage gets a little dirty or out of balance.
