Where best to find a range hood with an in-line exhaust fan? We want a max of 600 CFM
The Zephyr we had at our last house had 600 CFM and worked great - but sounded like a freakin' jet in the kitchen. Even the lowest CFM was pretty loud.
Reviews on quiet Zephyr systems (2.5 sones and less) also have complaints about being too loud. So maybe the the issue is having the exhaust fan inside the hood.
So I'm thinking maybe find a range hood with an in-line duct exhaust fan to move that noise elsewhere, like maybe in the attic.
Thoughts and recommendations?
thanks
