Product review (5 stars): glad i chose this fan
Although i was hoping for a hood that had controls on the underside and these are on the front, i am very, very pleased with this purchase.  The design is sleek, and the operation of the fan is good -- has 4 settings, most often we use 2, occasionally 3.  3 and 4 are noisier, yes, and they have good draw. With 2, i've sometimes forgotten the fan is on, it's so quiet! The lights have 3 settings, and both light and fan controls remember where they were when you shut them off, if you have a favorite setting -- cool!  A very pretty, very functional hood, and in my opinion a very good value.
