Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I often don't feel like writing reviews because of laziness, but I had to write one for this. Normally, I take negative reviews into high consideration because people complain more than then compliment and I want to hear people's issue about products. With that said read the negative reviews all you want, for this unit, but trust the majority. This unit has been my best friend. I have an electric stove so the burners often smoke because of dropped or spilled oil or food. This has always left my house smelling like burnt toast. We rarely go out to dinner so most of our meals are home cooked . From burgers, bacon, fish, fried chicken, steak, our stove is usually pretty active, leaving the house smelling like what was cook days after we finished. So far I've made fried chicken, a full breakfast, and pan seared salmon. Outside smells like a restaurant and the inside has a faint smell of food. When frying food or just making something small the number 2-3 setting is perfect. When searing food, I turned it up to the max, just to be sure the house didn't get smokey. With that said...Here's the complaints...The only physical problem with this hood is the metallic smell, maybe because it's new. Other than that, this hood requires 6 inch duct. Working with the 6 inch duct was the hardest part because I went through the cabinet rather the ceiling or above the cabinet. You probably will have to do some improvising when installing your duct work. HVAC tape is your friend, and you'll need a good friend to help you fit the unit properly. After installing everything, I tested it out and it worked amazingly. It's not the most quiet hood, but I didn't think it would whisper pumping out that much air. Lets just say it does its job and for the price, it does it very well.
