Product review (1 stars): Pretty but very poorly designed
We had our contractor install this hood a couple of years ago when we remodeled our kitchen in 2011.  We wanted something reasonably attractive, that didn't call attention to itself, that fit in our kitchen. On aesthetics, this hood was fine. Not an award winner, certainly, but quite acceptable and better tha most every other choice in its price category. We had installed a more expensive brand, imported, in another house, that we liked a lot, and in retrospect,we wish we had paid the extra amount to duplicate that earlier hood in this house, as this Broan has been a pain to live with.  Two major functional problems with the design make it a hood that I would avoid.

1. It has some kind of sensor (heat? steam?) that automatically turns it on, at its special super-high and thus super-noisy speed, when you do something like boil pasta. Not immediately, but only after your pot has been boiling a bit, about the time the pasta is done and you're getting ready to sit down to dinner. Once it goes on this way, it cannot be turned off--there is no switch to turn it off. We couldn't believe this, assumed there must be a switch we couldn't find that was too obvious to mention in the manual, which didn't mention any, and so we finally called the local dealer for help. He confirmed there was no way to turn off this super loud fan once it turned on. That meant that every time we made pasta, we had to eat dinner to the accompaniment of a jet engine sound at our kitchen table. I finally installed my own switch in the electric line that feeds the hood, which is obviously hard wired and does not normally have a switch. Not something you would expect to have to do.

2. After about a year or so, we had to replace the light bulbs. That's perfectly reasonable. But the problem is that the normal pressure one must apply when screwing a bulb into the socket easily knocks the socket off its footing inside the hood. The bulbs then flop around and frequently the lights don't work.  I had to take the hood apart to fix this (and that was feasible only because I had previously installed the switch, see number 1, and so could turn off all power going into the hood).  Once apart, the problem was obvious: the sockets are themselves connected to the internal structure via a couple of flimsy clips that are clearly inadequate. You push on the bulb as you screw it in, and you knock the socket out of its footing inside the hood.

Both these design flaws are so obvious it's hard to imagine how any competent designer could have produced this product.  I would stay away from this.

UPDATE:  Just visited a friend who has the same hood--and who experienced precisely the same problem that we had with the bulb socket on the right side coming off.
UPDATE 2 (April 2014): Now both bulb sockets, right and left, come off, and somehow this happens over time in normal use, not just if you are replacing the bulb.  Each time this happens, I have to spend a tedious and unpleasant half hour taking the hood apart (after cutting off electricity to it) to put the sockets back in place.  I would not trust any positive review of this hood unless it is from someone who has owned it a couple of years--long enough to have had this flaw appear.
