The hood has integral punched stainless steel discharge grille, which is much better than a typical plastic grille, since  it is easy to clean and it will not detach like my old one.

The light is very simply made and will accept fluorescent light bulb which will add a lot of light to the kitchen without using much energy.

We are remodeling our kitchen and wanted to buy a simple  hood fan to go above the range. Prices in local stores were extremely high, so I looked on Amazon. Sure enough, we found this hood fan, reasonably priced and just what we were looking for. It looks great in our kitchen and although it obviously doesn't vent as well as an outside venting fan  would do, it does what it is designed to do very well. It is also a very slim model, which gives the wall area behind your range more real estate to hang utensils, etc.

On the con side, we have a 12" tall cabinet above our range. Because this hood fan is much slimmer than previous hood fans we have had, it sits pretty high on the wall. The light bulb hangs down to the same level as the bottom of the hood fan. So if the hood fan is set higher than your line of vision (which I think it would be even with a taller 15" cabinet), the light can be a bit blinding when it is on. It would be better if the light bulb had been more recessed within the fan. On the plus side, it illuminates the range very well. The light bulb is a minor annoyance, but otherwise we like the look and quality of this fan

I paid $299 for this range hood! Why would anyone pay  more? I just received the unit today and unpacked it as  soon as it came in the door. I am going to do a kitchen remodel in 4 months and I'm getting all my supplies lined up way ahead in case something is wrong or doesn't work                                                                                          right. I set this hood on my kitchen table and plugged it in to test the noise level(because they d                                        on't tell you on the page what the dba/sones are for the product in use). This is a VERY QUIET MACHINE and the cubic feet per minute(cfm) is excellent. With 4 speed levels and adjustable                                                                                            lights, they tilt back and forth, this exhaust hood rivals all that  I've looked at. I've been all over the web and to about 7 stores checking out range hoods and this one is as good as it gets, AND THE PRICE MAKES IT THE BEST DEAL! If your looking to redo your kitchen or replace an existing                                                                                       hood, this model rocks.

4 count them, 4--button levels of air suction! Stainless Steel  is not cheap but high grade & heavy thickness. My hood arrived in pristine condition & best packing I have EVER seen, so was well-pleased.

My 30" version of this unit has 3 removable Stainless Baffle sections which was FREE upgrade from aluminum screening, and the buttons are on the vertical front ledge of unit with a  DIGITAL readout screen of the level of chosen suction  and even has time-delay on shut-off = BONUS!

-Has a 3-prong plug to plug in and check if working the moment it arrived.
-The exit of the 6" round flu from motor has a butterfly damper that opens when fan engaged so will be great to prevent back flow from exterior.
-The two piece chimney surrounds are also heavy duty Stainless Steel and uppermost section has two sides consisting of a series of venting to dispel heat at top sides.
-The entire hood and two sections are protected by a clear or blue skin of plastic that is easily removed after installation.
-There is an included small approximately 2"X3" clear plastic topless box that has slots that slide into brackets under motor housing that  is supposed to catch any accumulating grease from motor area low point that is accessed via the removable baffle. This then can be emptied and wiped clean with ease.
-Installation is easily done & straightforward...find the centerpoint of stovetop/range and have center of hood match this point and mark two hanger holes at level into studs with provided heavy gauge screws (rip open wall & install stud if not there--molly screws are  NOT going to work here--after all won't be seen anyway as hood covers it).

Con:
-Two halogen lights are in rear of unit and are only 20 Watt each so total 40Watt so woefully dim for cooking surface...I have upper cabinets on both sides so I am installing under cabinet lights on                                                                      both sides to compensate.

I have not permanently installed totally on wall yet as am doing some extension of wiring in wall behind hood in wall but will update when totally complete with photos. I am using the two baffles on interior  two exits of blower motor but I am doing a hollow faux wood beam  to cover the metal 6" flu system across the room to vent through out through bump-out dinette roof.

This hood totally blows away the competition at Lowe's or HomeDepot stores...and the price is at least $100-400 BELOW comps with these features anywhere online.
