Broan-NuTone Allure® III QS330 Kitchen Hood

Pros: 4-speed fan, 3 light brightness levels, dishwasher-safe filters

Cons: halogen light bulbs become hot

The Bottom Line: This Allure III Hood was an excellent purchase.

Review: During my kitchen remodel, I purchased a Maytag Gemini Double Oven Range (which I love!). Originally I wasn’t going to purchase a range hood since I had also installed new kitchen lighting. But then I thought direct illumination of the cooktop ...

Pros: quiet, effective, very nice extra features, attractive, easy to clean

Review: Very nice looking design. Easy to clean filters, good lighting Four speed fan, whisper quiet on low, on high unable to hold conversation. Does not remove cooking odor, smoke or steam. Hood installation is directly over range top, eight inch duct ...

Pros: Quiet fan, very bright lights

Cons: Doesn't remove most smoke or steam due to flawed design
