Per comment from 2020: "Top rated ones are by brands Best (see its Cirrus models), Miele, Futuro Futuro, Falmec, Zephyr, and Faber. They are ceiling mounted recessed or not. Even Italian companies like Falmec have them available in the US.So do the others listed. Faber has some that are designed like lampshades - kinda neat looking. Just remember to do your research and gather information on best places to use them and how they work. There are pros and cons to every appliance including different types of range hoods."
** Cooktop mft/model will have recs for range hood cfm based on BTUs & on size since some cooktops need range hood wider than cooktop itself; also, if cooktop has indoor grill integrated, will need more powerful hood due to extra smoke/grease. ** Range hood model will determine if 6" or 12" ductwork for HVAC. ** Local code calls for makeup air for range hoods greater than 400 cfm as quoted by someone in some region -- makeup air described in article as additional HVAC need to pull in fresh air to the house, as a too-powerful hood may draw dirty air from down the chimney or from furnace/other places. ** User tip on finding a vendor to powder coat stainless steel hood if you want it a different color -- they spent $150 back in 2017-ish. ** induction requires less cfm due to less heat generated into the air?


low profile range hood, but not flush with ceiling
