Product review (5 stars): Great looking, affordable, quiet hood with optional duct, bright energy efficient light and night light
I bought this to replace an existing range hood.  The previous hood was installed lower (it was a shelf-type) and was ducted using an odd size ducting and was routed inefficiently.  I found this Broan hood to be very easy to install and duct.  It has a plastic piece to block off the ducting if you want to recirculate the air, but my wife and I really wanted to be able to duct the hood out.  The hood has an option on top and on the back for the duct work.  I used the one on the back and it works great.  Got this in white and it matches our white stove perfectly.  You can barely hear the fan at all on low, and on high it is quieter than others I have owned.  It is effective in moving air out, I have about a 6 foot run of 4" rigid duct going out through the wall.  The part my wife and I liked best of all though is the lighting.  It has 2 settings, an energy efficient CFL bulb that is nice and bright and a 4 watt incandescent night light.  We use the night light every night and it is perfect.  I got this all for under two hundred bucks and felt like it was a good investment.  I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a good looking, quiet white hood with option to duct (or not) and you aren't looking to break the bank.
