We replaced an identical one we had because our daughter used oven cleaner on the top and made the biggest mess you ever saw. The paint came up only partly leaving a sticky gooey mess that never went away. Worse than this, every dirty piece of lint, dust, bugs -- everything stuck to it. The nightmare from there is that all the aforementioned debris stuck so good, you could no way wash it off! All of this is not the to the detriment of this great item, of course.
I love this hood's simple and functional design. It worked perfectly right up to the day we finally replaced it because of the above. It is not overly loud, no more than any other fan over the stove.
What you need to know is this -- it does not come with the butterfly -- Broan BP87 Vertical Discharge Damper, 7-Inch. Be sure to get this item or you'll wait to get it before getting the install job finished. We just cleaned up the old one and reused it.
Also, the older version had a painted (black) electrical cover. I don't know if it matters, but save the old one (if this pertains) if you want the painted electrical cover. I opted to keep the new one which is lighter in weight and just the plain galvanized steel which is better looks-wise with the aluminum-colored vent screen. Not that it matters much as hopefully one doesn't spend much of their time looking up into their hood.
It's a thumbs up for function and long-lasting performance.
Our old one with the ruined top was 28 years old -- still working perfectly.
Update after installation. It is even more quiet than ever. Also, the new hood's front edge now has a lovely curve to it rather than the sharper angle on the older one. Very Nice!
