Product review (3 stars): great for low use
A nice looking range hood. We didn't have a problem until we ran all 5 burners on our  30" gas stove and the oven at the same time.  Then the control panel melted from the heat.

We were told by Zephyr that while they recommend a 24" distance from stove top to cabinet bottom, when running 5 burners, it is better to have a greater distance.  In the manual it says 24" is OK.  On the item itself it says 26" minimum distance from the cabinet bottom to range top.  The range hood was installed by professionals who recommended the combo of a gas stove with 5 burners for this hood, while Zephyr says that this hood is under powered for a gas stove with 5 burners at a mounting distance of 24".  Zephyr also said that you must run the hood anytime while cooking because as well as decreasing the smells resulting from cooking, it also dissipates heat.  In addition this hood is recommended to have a 6" round duct to the outside, or a 3.5 x 10"  rectangular venting duct.  Our older house was fitted with a 4" duct which further increases the strain on the motor while venting both smell and heat.

Zephyr replaced the control panel, as a one time courtesy, but a change in materials is warranted if this is to be a range hood for people who actually want to cook using the hood as opposed to light to very light cooking only.  If you buy this item make sure you use the maximum mounting distance, and run it every time you cook or bake on/in your stove.
