Product review (5 stars): Worth the price.
I live in a small condo.  Previous to purchasing this hood we only had the blower in the over-the-stove microwave.  Decided to go with this hood for our remodel.  Prior to switching to a hood our smoke alarm would go off constantly even if there was a breath of smoke in the air.  The alarm has not gone off at all since installing this hood and matching recirc kit.  I highly recommend it.  There are a lot of complaints about the sound level of this hood.  I have not had the same experience.  In fact, it's much more quiet than the microwave fan it replaced and a gazillion times more effective.
