Bottom line: It's not bad enough that I wanted to go through the hassle of uninstalling, repackaging, and returning it, but I wouldn't buy it again. YMMV.

If you don't have a source of make up air and have a high CFM vent, your house will suck air in through *somewhere*, and that somewhere will be the exhaust flue of your gas water heater or furnace chimney, etc.
That means you're sucking burner fumes into the house, unless your water and heating are electric.

True suction will ensure that the dirty air actually gets exchanged, because air being exhausted needs to be replaced by air coming through the gaps in your doors, windows, etc. If your range hood is just a gentle breeze, it's not going to be able to cause the pressure change needed to force new air to come in.
Consider buying a range hood that has at least one (if not 2-3) centrifugal fan blowers. I went with one from a brand called Fotile after doing a bunch of research, but there are tons of brands with similar products. Another brand I considered was Cosmo, but I can't speak to their quality from first hand experience.
If you actually want to remove smoke and cooking odors, you get what you pay for. But also, make sure to get a good installer who will make sure your exhaust duct is properly sized, properly sealed, and actually exhausts the air outside. So many homes don't have proper ducts because lazy contractors know they're hidden in the walls and the homeowner won't realize. A lot of fancy homes have expensive range hoods but poor ducting, causing them to be ineffective.
If you get this all done right, then when you turn your range hood on high and crack a door, you'll feel a massive rush of air hit you. That's when you know you've got a good range hood.
They have two versions - one is 7 inches tall, and the other is 10 inches tall. Unless they use the same blower assembly in both, then I'm skeptical of the CFM rating on the smaller one since they're rated for the same 500 CFM at the same noise level. I don't know why they'd make a taller version if they're not fitting it with bigger blowers, however.
If 10 inches of height isn't an issue, I'd personally step up to a Cosmo COS-QS75 if the budget allows. Way more reviews, and I think it just looks nicer too (but looks are subjective, of course).
If you have gas appliances like a furnace or water heater that have to release their fumes out of the house (for example through a natural upward draft chimney), then your high CFM fan can reverse that natural draft and pull carbon monoxide fumes back into your home. Have another source of intake air in your house, or even opening a window while running the fan, can offset this.

Got an older version 7 years ago:

Installed, and it's still going strong and looks like new. Highly recommend!

I think I have one that's a bit less than that, it does NOT have much effect if you cook italian or any heavy garlic onion etc type of food.

I bought this, advertised 375, it's garbage. Yes, it really vents if you have steam, or boiling water or maybe light cooking, but once you start adding smelly stuff like fish, garlic, onion, stew, etc.. It does not work all that well. I have mine vented, I thought maybe I have some obstruction because it goes from like 6" round to 3x10 or 4x10 *not sure rectangular vent outside, but it should still work. 375 is no good. My problem is I can't go too deep (height) so 5" was sweet spot, I can probably go up to 6" but that's about it. Any suggestions?
I have induction range.
I know mine exhausts outside because my next door neighbor asks me what smells so good. So obviously there is some air being pushed out. I can also go up to roof and try to measure if necessary. I am worried about seal, though, I can't tell if the seal in attic is good.
