Bought and installed this model about 6 months ago. It was $171 at that time. It does an acceptable job, but I can't say I'm a fan (no pun intended). It's definitely not worth whatever they're claiming is full retail. The touch pads for the light and fan are irritating (not sensitive enough, so you have to touch them just right). The LED lights are not replaceable, so if anything goes wrong, you're out of luck. Have to cycle through all the fan speeds to get to the one you want/turn it off, and the fans pause between each tap of the touchpad.

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're Asian, don't bother with this. You need 700 CFM
It's only 375 CFM. I would say this is only for the casual cook with an electric range.

I wouldn't even consider something like this. It's not just the CFM that matters, but also the static pressure. You won't see a specification you can read on product listings for range hoods about this, but to give you an idea... Do a Google image search for Broan Range Hood Fan Assembly. You'll see most of their units have 5-blade fan designs with gaps between the blades. These gaps mean that air leaks through if the fan faces any type of resistance with moving air. When you see gaps between blades, the fan is optimized for airflow rather than static pressure, which means that a basic Broan range hood is more like an upside-down ceiling fan than a vacuum motor. What you need isn't to gently blow air upwards, you need suction.

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.

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.

It really depends on the situation. Type and length of ducting (vertical vs straight back as well as sizing), number of BTU, etc. A lot of higher CFM hoods are grossly overstated in their CFM ratings (similar to wattage ratings in speakers or LED Brightness in flashlights). Broan is actually pretty open about publishing more 'real world' results depending on different configurations and types of venting.
