I also found the air flow to be insufficient. I can easily set off smoke detectors with the fan loudly on hi speed. Mine was installed in a new house with the vent and flapper on the side of the house. I noticed in the installation instructions that if I have an external flapper vent, I should remove the damper supplied with the unit. How can I confirm that this was done by the contractor without taking the whole thing off?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) As part of a new home bundle, the range works as expected. Looks great with the cabinets. It's a replacement for the over-the-range microwave and I don't regret it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This range hood does a great job of keeping air moving around the cooking area. The speed controls are old school buttons that do the job well.
