I was so concerned the fan would be ridiculously loud like with other models, but it's not bad at all, and I love that the fan has three levels. It took me a while to remember where the buttons are on the touch panel because they're not lit up, but after awhile you instinctively know where to touch -- and the panel is very sensitive so there is no need to press hard. We do a lot of frying with oil so this fan makes a HUGE difference compared to our old one, which was just the bottom part of a microwave that didn't actually funnel the exhaust out of the kitchen. I'm looking forward to no longer having disgusting oil build-up on my cabinets!
We remodeled our kitchen and went with Kucht appliances. The vent hood works very well and with a low noise level. The LED lights are very helpful lighting up the range.
