We weren't able to find many reviews on this hood before we purchased it but liked the professional look and price. Service from Quality Matters was great. Communication was good and shipping was quick. The hood is average. We had a couple issues with installation. We needed a recirculating unit and the wire provided was sufficient but bundled within the unit too tight to reach the connection. In addition, the metal vent grid material runs in different directions which is very visable. The manufacturer has promised to send us replacements but it's been over a month. The unit is actually labeled TRADEWIND. After research and speaking with them, we have been told that Summit is the distributor, not the manufacturer. Performance is adequate but it seems much of the draw comes from any opening(lights, etc)as well as the filters. Cosmetically, we are very pleased with its look.
