Recommendations for chimney hood

[Coronita]

Edit.

Other brands with similar design principles… (No practical experience with them though)

Sakura range hoods. Supposedly better material than previous mentioned company

Knock off of San Yang Pai

Also, some of the brands offer self-cleaning models, in which there is a pump that pumps 409 from a reservoir into the fans and drains them to a drain container.

Yes flu, we did cover this topic before. The only advantage I see with the Broan is that the motor is further away, so it doesn’t sound as loud. My motor is in the attic, so I hear more wind noise than motor noise. But you’re right, it does cost more than the Sanyang Pai unit. The Broan also have a cool feature of auto fan on.

I’m just a cheap bastard. That, and I didn’t have celling space, unless I want to cut out part of my upstairs bathroom. I’m sure the workman ship of a Broan is much better than that of any of these hoods, and plus like I said, they aren’t made for looks.

I like the turbine engine sound when I turn on these things. The louder the better. Makes me feel like I’m right under a Boeing 747. If I put a stainless steel lid right next below one of the blowers when it turns on, it just sucks the thing up and holds it in place. Whoohoo!

I’m a cheap bastard too, but I made a mistake of buying this without reading. I bought the hood, only to find out it doesn’t have a motor. It would cost me to return due to restocking fee, so I decided to go all the way and get the motor too. I’m glad I did though :-).

If you wanted to, you can always go w/ the exterior motor, where it sits outside of your house, since you don’t have the attic space like I do.

BTW, it doesn’t matter where the motor is, moving 1100 CFM will cause some noise. I just prefer wind noise over motor noise :-).
