Product review (4 stars): Very good ventilation for small spaces
Good ventilation is a high priority for a serious cook, and lack of ventilation is the #1 problem in most residential kitchens. This is an excellent quality hood that pulls more than enough air to let you grill steaks or sear salmon indoors without smoking up your house. As a bonus, it has low-speed settings that are nearly silent. There are few 30" undercounter hoods, if any, that offer this level of performance.

The only reason it is not 5 stars is that it is not particularly rugged. After it was accidentally bumped, the fan started rubbing periodically against the housing, making an unpleasant noise. I was able to wiggle the fan around to minimize the noise, but it's never again been as quiet as it was when first installed.
