Product review (4 stars): Great Kitchen Hood
Wanted a hood wich could move a lot of air and that did not have those screen type filters. It had to vent out the back.

This is a great hood. High settings are loud but it is moving a lot of air. About the same noise level of the above stove microwave vent combo we removed that I don't think vented anything. The lowest setting is not too loud but not silent. We have an open kitchen and we can easily carry on conversations in the kitchen when the hood is running on the lower settings. High setting if you are standing under it conversations may be hard but a few feet away are just fine.

No more smokey kitchen when cooking items like blackened catfish or pan searing a steak in cast iron.

The lights are bright enough to cook by - I disagree with some reviews that say they are too dim.

I am surprised how often I use the delay off feature. it was a nice surprise.

The hood had slight vibrations when it was installed which required extra screws to be installed to prevent it from making additional noise. (Thus the loss of a star).

I had it professionally installed at the same time we switched from an electric range to a gas range. It required us to run another wire to the fuse box which is beyond my DIY skills.

Overall I am happy with the unit and I am happy with the purchase. I would recommend this unit to others.
