Hood Insert is Okay. Its loud and not that user friendly. It could be better designed. I give it a 3 stars.
However, the plastic light fittings also known as light lens are extremely poor. I give it a MINUS 1 STAR. The plastic is of such bad quality that I would have not bought this hood insert if I had known how bad it is. The two little plastic clips that hold the lens to the face of the unit over the light are extremely thin. They must be touched and a small amount of pressure applied in order to remove them from the grid in order to clean them and the grid which covers the bottom of the Hood Insert. ANY pressure on the plastic snaps the clips. Broan obviously doesn't perform any quality research to make sure that the material/plastics they use actually functions correctly. A pack of 2 from Broan costs $14.28 plus shipping. Every review on line that I have found give these plastic light lens at the maximum a 1 star. Many reviewers had tried replacing them four or more times and they ALL broke. I will try to glue the clip back on with epoxy. No other glues will work with this type of plastic. If the clip won't glue on or breaks again, I will try to glue the lens itself to the outside of the grill. If this fails, I will buy an entire hood insert from some other company - not Broan.
