Product review (2 stars): Attractive Unit but the fan barely draws anything into the filter
Bought it a little over a year ago. It installed relatively easily, looks very professional, and works. However, the fan should be much stronger. For example, if something on the stove is smoking so that we can see the smoke, most of the smoke rises beside the unit even with the fan on High Speed. Only a very small percentage of the smoke goes into the unit. Presumably it would work better if vented outside. However, it certainly seems as though there should be a much stronger fan.

The fan makes enough noise that I would think it would be drawing more smoke. I wondered if the fan was installed backwards or upside down; however, placing a tissue near the inlet, it does draw the tissue to the filter although very slightly.
