Product review (4 stars): Nice hood vent!
This hood looks very nice but is not very powerful...However, It definitely does it's job...Noise level is average, you can definately hear it...The lights are bright and very useful
I am using it as ductless and I am near two windows while cooking..Not sure it would make much difference if it were vented as I believe that the power has to do with the motor...love the glass part, also easy to clean
