Product review (3 stars): After a year of use -- a solid OK
I've been using the hood for a couple of years, and would like to comment on its functionality.  It gets daily use cooking a variety of foods.

Pros:  It still looks good and seems to be holding up well.  I get compliments on it.  It is quiet on the low setting, and this is fine for steamed vegetables or anything that doesn't make smoke.  It's so quiet you forget it's running!  If you are actually cooking, however, you'll need the second setting, which is quite a bit louder.  Love the halogen lights. Price is good for what you get.

Cons:  The biggest drawback is that it doesn't remove smoke and grease adequately. Pan-seared items cooked on the front burners kicks off our smoke alarms on a regular basis.  I just finished deep cleaning my living room, and there was greasy dust on tops of the curtain rods 15 ft. away from the kitchen.  For this reason I would not recommend this fan if you have an open floor plan.  Other small issues are: frequent bulb burnout, exhaust goes up thru the lights since the fan portion only spans the back two burners, and grease collects at the corners of the unit and drips down onto the counters unless wiped down frequently.
