Product review (3 stars): If you haven't used a professional vent hood, this may work for you.
We are doing a kitchen remodel and switched from a wall mounted vent hood to an island mounted one since we removed some upper cabinets.  The look of the vent hood is awesome!  It is very modern and looks more expensive than it cost however it does not function that way.  It is quite loud, even on the lowest setting but I read that in other reviews so I was prepared.  My solution was to cut the radio up so this wasn't a big deal for me.  One day, I happened to be watching the smoke drift up and outward, away from the vent hood, although it was turned on.  It was better on the highest setting but not great.  I have had the same VentAHood for 28yrs and it seems to have spoiled me.  Now, I am going to buy another professional vent hood and sell this one sometime this year.  Also, we installed this item in September 2017.  Hope this helps!
