Purchased this hood about 3 years ago. Initially it was very quiet and lived up to my expectations but within 6 months it started to make a god awful annoying growling noise. More noise than a busted chain saw. Replaced the motor twice and within 6 months the noise returned. Scanning the web I see many people with the same problem and they indicate that Nutone will not provide any relief. Stay away from this product.

We purchased this to replace an old, very noisy, Ventline range hood. The Broan was easy to install; fan is very quiet and has multiple speeds ranging from very low to very high that work well at eliminating cooking odors from inside the house; the light has a low and high setting (2 A-15 appliance lamps not included) and provides plenty of light for cooking. We would highly recommend this to anyone wishing to replace their old noisy range hood with a new quiet model!

Got this as a replacement for the original I had in my home. It is OK but noisy at higher speeds. For the price it works out.

Honest reviews on Broan QT242BL Under Cabinet Range Hood, Black, 42-Inch

Really nice looking range hood and installed very easily. Based on some of the other reviews about the motor making a loud noise after 6 months or so... I looked it over and found that there could be some potential for vibration/rattles from the vertical vent cutouts. I'm not sure if the other reviewers had an actual motor issue or possibly just a rattle when it was on. I chose to vent mine back into the room (Need a charcoal filter not included) and placed a few strips of duck tape across the cutouts on the top of the hood. It created a nice seal and also a barrier between the metal hood and underside of the cabinet. So far I think it is very quiet and works very well.

I put in 2 micro CFL bulbs for the lights a little tight but man the light output on my cooktop is awesome!

i installed this range hood the same day i received it. i like it very much.

the one problem i had with it was the smell of the black paint. left a fishy smell odor.

i could not figure out what that was at first untill i smelt the range hood itself. (funny)

all in all it preforms fine.
