Product review (3 stars): Nice looking range hood, but beware of lemons
THis range hood looks good, but could and should work better.  I love the way this SS range hood looks with simple, clean lines, but the fan is loud on highest setting and even then doesn't pull enough air to prevent house from filling with cooking odor when cooking strong smelling items with a lot of onions, etc.  Plus the energy efficient florescent light only worked for about three days, then stopped working.  When I tried to order a replacement bulb I discovered that this type of bulb contains mercury.  Had to have technician come out because problem was not with bulb but rather with wiring.  Am now waiting for replacement part.  Braun gave me number for service repair and has said problem will be fixed at no expense to me, but so far I'm still waiting for resolution to this problem.
