Product review (2 stars): Broan QS130WW Range Hood
The range hood lights are wonderful if that was the sole rating criteria it would be 5 stars.  However, we bought the hood for the ability to eliminate smoke and odor.  If the back burners of the range are used the smoke/steam is drawn out though if front burners are used the configuration of the hood blocks some of the effect.  As for odor elimination, none is eliminated.  Maybe it is false expectation of what the hood is supposed to accomplish, or possibly a problem in installation though that has been rechecked.  For whatever reason though, odors of what is being cooked are not drawn out through the venting system.
