Product review (5 stars): This hood nearly sucked my beard up through the vents
Holy cow!  This hood nearly sucked my beard up through the vents!  I like that I can adjust it for low speed and quiet, excellent for simmering, but if I am cooking Chinese in a wok, I can turn it up high (yes, it is loud on that setting) and it easily sucks up all the smoke.  I had a smaller range hood for years, and even on Turbo Boost, it never took up all the smoke.  This one sure does!

I also like that it has a more "old-fashioned" rheostat control for the fan, and an "old-fashioned" knob type control for the light, as well as a solid rocker switch that turns on the fan (which also means I can set the rheostat to whatever speed I prefer, and just use the switch to turn the unit on and off with perfect "memory.")  I have had the units with the soft touch electronic panel, and it seems they always give out, making it necessary to do a complicated replacement.  Why all the goo-gah if the old fashioned stuff is available?  I am hoping, of course, that the controls will never give out, but if they do, I won't have to replace an entire mother-board of electronics.  BTW - my wife really likes that the controls are out of sight (just under the "lip" of the front edge.  Nice clean look.
