I was looking for a range hood that had the most suction power and this one had by far the highest CFM compared to other ones I looked at. I used to have a microwave w/ a fan above my stove that probably sucked up only about 70% of the smoke and that's after I installed a "hood extender" to the bottom to catch the smoke. The microwave just wasn't strong enough and the big burners on my stove are in the front. Probably would have done a better job if the big burners were in the back but still probably wouldn't have captured all the smoke.
This hood is so much more powerful and sticks out further and I would say even if I'm cooking on high heat and there's a lot of smoke this thing sucks up about 95% or more (on high level 4). I no longer see smoke up near the ceiling like I used to w/ my microwave fan.
I also love the motion sensor. No need to touch the buttons if you have food on your hands, just wave across left or right to increase/decrease the power. And when you're done cooking and want to eat? Just set the timer to turn off automatically. And the lights are great to help you see your food even better. Not something I ever thought I'd need but once you have them you realize what you've been missing. And finally, I think it looks absolutely great above my stove and makes the kitchen look so much better.
I had a contractor install it so can't say anything about the install. It's a bit loud on level 4 but to me it's a good tradeoff for the suction power. Levels 1-3 aren't too loud at all IMO.
Oh, the fan covers are a bit too big to fit in my dishwashwer, but they're easy to remove and install and I just soak them w/ formula 409 for a bit and rinse them off, easy to clean.
Think I covered everything, I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something that works better than your microwave or lower CFM range hood and want to upgrade the looks of your kitchen.
