        <content>Does anyone know anything about the Chimney Style Hood vents sold by IKEA?  It's a LUFTIG C50S for $499. It's about $350 less than comparable models sold by Zephyr and Bosch.</content>

      <content>If it can help, I think all of the Ikea appliances are co-branded using Whirlpool appliances.  So perhaps you can find more info on Whirlpool's site (to find a hood similar to the Ikea one) in order to better compare.

My quick opinion is:
- Luftig is more noisy than Zephyr for the same CFM.
- Zephyr in general has more-refined detailing in its design.

Good luck!</content>
