I had that Zephyr hood almost 10 years ago. It's beautiful installed and worked well. At the time, the only place I could get replacement bulbs was from Zephyr but I think the internet (and light bulbs) have come a long way since then.

Thanks for the feedback fori. We like the unique look of the specific hood and have a different Zephyr in our current house and are please with that one.

Any comments on the other appliances? Anything I should absolutely stay away from?

Thanks

Maytag has been bought by Whirlpool. I just had the repair guy here. I asked what he recommends if you're not going to the very highest price point. He says Whirlpool but under the Whirlpool name. He feels they perform at least slightly better(than new Maytag). I'm not sure but since Maytag was bought out there may have been a period where parts became inconsistent though I can't swear to this but anyway he has been doing appliance repair for 30 years and has all Whirlpool appliances. For those who don't have a budget I'm sure there are many other opinions.
