I'm looking for recommendations on hood fans. I need to replace my crappy over the range microwave with a proper hood fan because the existing unit doesn't exhaust properly. I'm tried of our smoke alarms going off with the least bit of smoke from cooking.

I can do an under cabinet or replace the cabinet with a wall mounted unit. I've checked my ducting and it should be sufficient to handle a decent amount of air flow. I want a unit that has high CFM but is also really quiet because we have an open floor plan. I also don't want to break the bank with a $1000+ unit.

Any suggestions would be great.
