Product review (4 stars): Breath taking addition to our kitchen.
The AKDY chef's hood is absolutely gorgous above our range.  It has a cutting edge stainless steel finish and a European design that really gives my kitchen the up scale look I was anticipating.  The Fan is suprisingly quiet with 3 different speed settings and a digital display.  The lights are sleek and inset. These lights are powerful enough to light up the range top without being uncomfortable for the cook.  This is ventless and recirculates the air which was a must for our kitchen.  I would have loved to give AKDY a 5 star, but when the fan is on high you can hear a high pitched grinding sound.  It sounds like the fan is hitting against the housing just enough to make the grinding sound. The Fan plugs in to a wall outlet.  The flew is 3 sided so we installed a outlet right in back of the flew.  You may already have one there from a previous fan.  This way the cord doesn't show.
