Broan QS330SS
05/05/2008
Strength
Non-ducted capability, 430 CFM
Weakness
Halogen bulbs and charcoal filters not included.
I chose the Broan Allure III because of its non-ducted capability. This is helpful for those who cannot connect the range hood to a duct that leads outside of their house. The Allure III also has a 430 CFM setting that is much more powerful than any other model that I've researched. You must purchase the charcoal filters and two halogen bulbs separately.

Broan Allure III Range Hood
01/15/2008
Strength
Looks great, various speeds, good light using 2 halogen bulbs.
Weakness
None yet! I have not used it for cooking yet but expect it to work well.
The Allure III stainless steel hood not only looks beautiful in my new kitchen but performs well. Although I have not cooked in my new kitchen yet, I've run this beautiful hood through all the cycles and seems to work fine. Also love the good lighting from the two halogen bulbs and this makes my kitchen look great. Best price through PriceGrabber. I'm happy and would buy it again.

Broan Allure II and III Range Hoods
05/18/2007
Strength
Adaptable, very quiet, good lighting, easy to clean
Weakness
None noted
We replaced a previous Allure II vent hood when our kitchen appliances were replaced with a different finish. Both the previous Allure II (used for 4 years) and the new Allure III are excellent vent hoods, with high air flow and low noise levels. The halogen reflector flood lamps are much better than the typical plain light bulb for stovetop illumination, and both feature a handy night light feature. The hoods can be configured for recirculation with replaceable activated charcoal odor filters or outside exhaust through round or rectangular vents with rear or top connection. The hoods are easy to clean with Teflon coating inside and dishwasher-safe metal grease filters.
