I recently replaced my vent hood, but since my budget was very limited,
the replacement was nearly identical to the previous model that was
already there, a typical Broan 30p" unit. I think it cost about $80+tax
(on sale & coupon IIRC).

When I "researched" which vent hood to buy as a replacement, one
particular "specification" I learned to make note of was/is the "SONE"
rating, i.e., how loud is that vent when it's on full blast! I wanted
the 'most quiet' unit I could get for my bucks. I looked for the vent
hood that had the best CFM:SONE ratings. Just something you may want to
consider when you shop.

Sky, who hates to remodel/redecorate anything, especially on a limited
budget! ;D
