Kenmore 30&#34 Updraft Range Hood 5261 —

This replaced my 30+ year old vented hood. My old hood never worked well 15 years ago when we bought the house, but it moved some air. My wife liked this hood because of the wrap around design from the top to the underside. It will be easy to keep clean, unlike cheaper models, or our old one. I liked it because it moves 200 cfm and is rated as being quiet. I have a 5 inch tv on the counter next to my stove. I spend a lot of time cooking for our family and it is hard to hear Judge Alex over a loud exhaust fan. This one is much more quiet. I can hear the tv fine, and talk on the phone as well. I am very satified. We have not had it long, so I am not sure of the durability yet. If it breaks, I will let everyone know. It was money well spent. It was easy to install too. I never installed one before, and it went in smoothly.
