Product review (4 stars): The lights are great, though I wish they were LED
The lights are great, though I wish they were LED.  The fan works well.  For not stinky/spattery food I usually leave the fan on 2.  It works well for general conversation with the others in the kitchen.  Between fan levels 3-4 it is very noticeable, but not real problem to conversation.  Speeds 5-6 are the big guns when doing heavy frying or when you really want the pull out all stops.  Yes it is loud.  It is a fan on high.  Really high.  It will be loud.  It is a big inconvenient to conversations, but you are cooking big splattery messes that need some heavy fan work.  You can still hear others, but it is definitely not helpful to a romantic dinner or cozy conversation.  It is good for making fajitas in cast iron that needs major air flow.  I hate the glass.  Yes.  I bought the one with glass, but it does get dirty, like I knew it would. I would have rather had all stainless but due to the great $$$ I went with this.  If you aren't frying much, it shouldn't be that much of an issue.  Time will tell if saving lots of $$ will be worth cleaning the glass.  I am not going to lie, the glass gets cleaned more often when I know guests will be around.  With all that, I would recommend it.  It looks great installed...when you bother to keep the glass tidy.
