I bought this hood because I wanted something for my gas range/oven to vent out as much fumes and burnt fuel and keep my indoor air healthy, and to reduce the smells from cooking. It works very well, tho a little louder then I would like, when the unit is on and I open a window or door on the other side of the house, air comes rushing in, its so powerful I actually use it pull fresh air into the house even when Im not cooking. the led lights are just barely bright enough, I can still use my kitchen at night, and prepare food with only the vent hoods lights, but they are lacking and cant be replaced witch is a shame because I would much prefer and warmer colored and brighter light, and also should they ever stop working, what do I do, throw the whole hood away, or wire in my own lighting? The hood is built well and will likely last a long time, I like that it came with dampers and I did not have to buy separately as they tend to be really cheaply made, Overall i think this hood is the best value, if you bake/cook a lot and maybe are concerned with smells or venting fumes to keep indoor air quality high, then this hood is for you, the others in this price range just wont cut it. Pictured are a couple of tests I preformed to demonstrate its superior suction power, a smoke test you can see the smoke getting pulled away from the cooking surface, and I also brought the installation manual up to the filter and it sucked it right out of my hand and held it there firmly!
