Product review (3 stars): Not enough CFM
I cook a lot of Chinese stir fry and oily/smokey foods like bacon. At full power on the hood, I still get my smoke alarm going off. Granted, my burners are pretty powerful, but I even was just searing some steaks the other day and the smoke alarm went off. It's way better than a recirculating type or a microwave/fan combo, but it still leaves much to be desired. Next time I will save up and just get a nicer unit.
