Extremely loud! Best part of always turning it off. It looks great in our kitchen, which is why I bought this, I liked the design. But even in lowest setting it is so loud, like stressfully loud. We hesitate to use it actually and are always relieved when we turn it off. Not even convinced it’s super effective for how loud it is. I have an air purifier in the room that always detects poor air quality even when using this in the higher setting (which sounds a bit like a 747 taking off)
I researched literally hundreds of Range Hoods during an extensive renovation of my gourmet kitchen. From a design perspective this is a uniquely elegant product that really compliments the black and white design in my kitchen. I do a lot of cooking, seafood, deep-frying, lots of garlic, steaks in cast iron with butter. Smokey, smelly stuff. This unit clears and keeps up with the smoke as you cook and cleans the room once the cooking's done. Short of a commercial, industrial unit, this is the best I have every used. Highly recommended!!
I loved the look of this hood. I wanted something the didn't look industrial. The filters are a little difficult to change but it works well and I love the look with my new kitchen.
