Product review (5 stars): Sturdy Range Hood
I bought this range hood to replace an identical one that I had for 20 years only because I changed the color of my kitchen appliances from almond to stainless steel and not because the 20 year old one stopped working.  This range hoods are pretty much made like tanks that are so sturdy they tend to last forever.  The manufacturer did not change the formula of how they are made like so many others do when they start using cheaper materials or "water down" their product in some form or another so they can make more money or keep up with the rising costs of materials they use.
