Product review (5 stars): I received this from Wayfair a day earlier than expected and in good condition. My previous hood was a cheap recirculating-type
I researched a lot of range hoods that would fit in my somewhat restricted space.  Of all the hoods that were in the 6-8" height range, this one stood out for me due to the cfm's and the fact that it supports USA jobs.  I received this from Wayfair a day earlier than expected and in good condition.

My previous hood was a cheap recirculating-type that we only used as a light.  As we recently changed from an electric to a gas range, we wanted something to help get the rid of the extra heat generated by the gas stove.

I ran 8" ducting straight up through the roof, and once everything was connected and secured, this hood exceeded all my expectations.  The noise level is not as bad as I thought it would be, even at the highest setting.  The performance has blown me away...as the first test I sauteed onions and broiled two steaks.  With the fan on the medium setting, I couldn't smell anything from 3 feet away.  Additionally, there was very little heat escaping from the confines of the hood.  As I mentioned, this was only on the medium setting.

Some notes on the installation, if you are hanging this from existing cabinetry, then you may have to do some significant modifications to mount this correctly.  I realized that with the protruding rectangle on the top of the unit, that I had to completely remove the cabinet bottom and build a frame secured to the wall studs to mount the unit on.  I was able to keep the cabinet trim and doors, so everything looks the same as before; however, there is not a cabinet anymore.

My only complaint about the unit is that the "ExtremeAir" placard is slightly out-of-level. I don't think anybody else notices this, but unfortunately, I'm a little OCD about this stuff...:)

All-in-all, I am very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it.
