This thing really sucks.......in a good way.

I gather by reading the other reviews they did not understand what this is. This is a near commercial grade 1200CFM vent hood and requires make-up ventilation to operate properly. I would also recommend ducting as large, short and straight as you can get away with. It really added a professional appearance to my kitchen. I can barely smell the food as I'm cooking it inside the house. Outside is a different story, It blows air 30 feet away from the house down to the first floor! The dishwasher safe grates clean easily. I am on a septic system so I use a caustic cleaner PBW in a tote and dump the water outside. 1 year and no problems so far. I would recommend this for serious cooks who aren't bothered by the fans and are more concerned about performance.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Would not recommend

I have this hood installed about a 36 Wolf Range Top. The hood only excels at making noise. It is so loud that I force myself not to use it. The stench of grilled salmon is better than the sound this machine omits. From a perceptive of ventilation I am equally unimpressed. I am currently shopping now for a new hood. In my opinion I have wasted $1000+.

Our appliance salesman recommended this model for us to go over our 48 inch Range. It looks wonderful and works great. It even blows the leaves out of our driveway under the vent when turned to high!!! LOL

powerful and good looking range hood

Looks great, and has excellent exhaust pull. Variable fan and two light settings are adequate for this appliance. It is convertible for a remote fan.
Downsides are that it really is best to have a 10" venting pipe system. Due to an old house limitation, we have a 6" pipe system and I believe this makes the internal fan very very loud. It's a jet engine noise when on medium or high fan speed.
The one negative in the design in my opinion is that the exhaust, and thus grease, gets pulled through the light socket cavities when you are cooking on the front range burners. This I believe to be a design flaw, as it should be a sealed system forcing all air through the baffle filters.
So generally pleased, and do recommend, but not perfect.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Easy to follow instructions and installation. I was a little concerned about the internal exhaust motor, but found it to be more efficient than stated.
Excellent lighting system, it has two levels, low and high.
I would highly recommend this unit.

Excellent range hood

We are very pleased with our hood. We searched for awhile to find the right one. The Broan hood looks great and is sturdy. The lights and fan are great. We chose Broan because the specifications were what we wanted, the look was want we wanted and it doesn't say "Broan" on it. We didn't want to have our hood with a brand name all over it. We would definitely recommend Broan hoods.
I would recommend this to a friend!
