I really love the range hood. If I think in time I can run it on low and you can hardly hear it, if I forget then I have to run it on high and it is louder. I love having the lights. If I get up in the night I have a small but bright light to move around the kitchen without lighting up the whole kitchen and diningroom. Over all I am very pleased and I put the filter in the dishwasher about once a month and it stays clean and fresh all the time. I think I made a really good buy the price was good and works very well.
