Product review (2 stars): Works good...on one side only..then light fan & switches broke
This hood vent is just okay. The blower is on the left side, so that side works fine. The right side doesn't have as much suction. I can't figure out why Broan, when all they make are bath and stove vents, can't make a better hood vent in this price range. Why not put the blower in the center so there's equal suction on both sides? Should be easy to engineer, so this is puzzling. I have to do most of my cooking on the left side now.
The four halogen lights are great. I like the fact it has two settings. Plenty of light to cook by. The rocker switches work fine, but they do feel cheap. Hopefully they'll last as long as the hood.

Installation was not that easy, but if you're handy, you can do it. I cut the holes through the bottom of the cabinet, the shelf inside, the top of the cabinet and then through the ceiling. I hired an hvac guy to continue the duct through the attic and roof and install the roof vent. Overall, the hood looks nice, has great light, but definitely loses points for ventilation. Broan should have done better on this one.

UPDATE 4/2014: I ended up installing the Broan 634 black roof cap which has a damper built in. I'm very satisfied with it. Did not have a damper installed inside the duct because I didn't feel the need to have 2 dampers. Thought it would impede air flow, especially with the exhaust fan on the low setting. My hvac guy agreed. I haven't noticed any drafts coming in at all even in the VERY cold winter we had this past year.
UPDATE 9/2016: Both light and fan switches have broken within a month of each other. Have read NUMEROUS complaints about this from other buyers, so buyer beware! Wish I knew this at the time. I would definitely NOT recommend this fan to anyone. I realize it's been 3 years, but Broan doesn't stand by this product al all even knowing this is an issue.
