Product review (4 stars): Good choice for a mid-range quality ductless range hood
The Broan QS130SS is a pretty nice upgrade from what we had before, which was a NuTone hood that was so old I couldn't even find a replacement filter for it.  While I'm not sure this range hood is actually worth $150+ for some thin metal and a couple of basic electronic features (fan and lights) -- I'm sure the markup for the retailers is great -- it is a pretty slick looking hood that otherwise seems to be of pretty good quality so far.

Installation notes:
- We needed to go with the ductless mode for this hood, which should have made it that much more easier to install, except in our case it was quite a challenge.  It should be easy to install because once you have some screws in place (a total of 4), you can just line them up with the keyhole slots on the top of the hood. Unfortunately, the screw positions from our old hood did not align with this new model, so we basically had to start from scratch and without a whole lot of usable under-cabinet space.  While preparing the hood for ductless mode was very easy, it was quite a pain to line up 4 new screw positions on the underside of the cabinet.  Please be sure to wear gloves, because there are some sharp metal edges on the inside of this hood that will slice ya, as it did me, if you're not careful.  Aside from the mounting part, everything else, including the wiring, was pretty straightforward.

Note to Broan: please include a mounting template.

- There is one gotcha with this hood in that the directions call for adding an electrical clamp to the wiring hole.  Yet for whatever reason, Broan doesn't include this small part which only costs about .50 cents at the hardware store.  This was annoying to find out when I was ready to get this thing installed only to learn I needed to run out to the local hardware store.  Technically, you could skip the electrical clamp, as our old hood (installed by someone else years before we moved in) didn't have one, but then your wiring would be sitting over the edge of a sharp, thin metal hole, and I don't know if that's a code violation, but definitely not something I'd want to worry about.

Light bulb notes:
The manufacturer clearly states they only support the PAR20 type halogens or incandescent bulbs and for good reason -- this unit simply does not play nice with LED bulbs.  Sure, proper sized LED bulbs will turn on with this hood, but more likely than not, they will not dim as you'd hope they would. Instead, the LED bulbs might just stay the same level of brightness but flicker badly on the low brightness setting. If you're OK with LEDs only on the bright setting, then I'd say go for them, but otherwise go with what Broan recommends/supports.

Filter notes:
If you're going for ductless, remember to get the charcoal filters.  Also note that the charcoal filters do not work by themselves -- you have to clip them on to the all-metal filters that are included with the range hood, or they won't fit. I didn't realize this at first and didn't read the directions (because why would I!  Should be so simple...) and thought I had the wrong sized filters. Before giving up I finally read the instructions and got everything nicely into place.
