Baffles filters are better at capturing grease and much easier to clean - you can throw them in the DW. Go with baffles.

Ty Weissman! That definitely is a good point for baffle style. I was leaning that way but just wasn't sure. I have researched venting but I still have a lot to learn!

I have baffles and I love them. Much easier to clean.

Thanks Eureka. I am going to go with a model that has baffles. I listed three for my appliance dealer. The Broan sounds like a great deal but the Zephyr Power Tempest is on my short list too.

Baffle filters are not noise deadening.
They are just a different type of filter.
Nothing against baffle filters, but good quality mesh filters can just as easily be run through the dishwasher.

Thanks Francoise, I wondered if that was the case.
