I thought the Kobe hoods were great, too so we decided on it. We haven't installed it yet, so not much comment on that. Ours is a wall hood, the lowest 122 model 36" and was about half the price, but I don't know what model you are going for.

p.

Had a Kobe hood in my last kitchen, am currently remodeling new kitchen. Getting another Kobe hood, it was great. Very quiet and yes, the baffles come right out for cleaning. Lights nice and bright.

I have an Electrolux dual fuel slide in. I love it! I've had it almost 4 years with no issues and i cook regularly for our family of 6.
