Looks good, doesn't move much air

I have to say that I'm pleased with the appearance of this hood. If you have standard 12" cabinets, it will stick out a bit but it's not unsightly. I was hoping that the fan would be capable of moving a bit more air. The fan in this unit is a turbine type design and these just aren't as effective as centrifugal blowers in other hoods. I would say that if you are just an occasional cook, this is a good hood to clear cooking odors, but if you are cooking on a daily basis, and especially if you brown meat or make roasts that give off large volumes of smoke, a more capable hood would be better. That said, it's a whole lot better than a recirculating hood.
