I don't know about them personally, but my DW and I are going to buy a Zephyr brand to go over our soon to be purchased BS 36" rangetop. You should check them out.

I don't know about other hoods but I have a Bluestar hood and I can tell you that it is like the range: simple, effective, well made. The removable baffles are very easy to clean, just toss them in the dishwasher.

Beyond that I can't tell you if it is "worth it" or compare it to other brands. Others here seem to have done lots of research that you might find helpful.

Consider hood depth, too. I don't think Bluestar makes a 27" deep hood.

Phil I am wondering which Zephyr hood you selected?
Stooxie understood and appreciate the thumbs up for Bluestar.

We are going with an insert so I am going to do the DCBL version of the Monsoon in 36". We don't have it yet as we just finalized our selections with our builder yesterday.

Thanks all
