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
