We replaced our old hood fan, a Faber Tender 30", which was just over 10 years old. The motor had failed twice, and the cost of a new motor was very high. The buttons didn't work very well on the unit (from brand new), it was leaking grease out of it from every corner as there was no internal trap system, and the lights were falling out of the body.
This Victory hood is a huge upgrade on all levels. Mechanical switch has a nice feel, lights are brighter, integral grease trap system is going to make cleanup a mile better, and the fan/motor is much quieter. It was also a breeze to install as we already had a 6" duct. Highly recommended! I love that it is made in Canada as well.
