Product review (4 stars): Works well, meets expectations, not super quiet
This works well, with a noise level that is medium - tolerable but not super quiet.  Ventilation meets expectations and the light is good.  This is our first outside vent hood so we don't have much basis for comparison.  It is WORLDS better than the recirculating filter things found in over-the-stove microwaves and 1970's apartments, which don't do much of anything.  Not quite a professional chef item, much better than low-end stuff.
