Previous hood: Elica ELN136SS
Currently mounted to 8" vent duct.
Compared to the Elica:
Build Quality: Elica has smoother edges and insulation to reduce noise levels. Victory has sharp edges particularly on the baffle filters which could cause cuts when attempting to wipe clean.
Airflow: Victory has better airflow likely due to larger hood design enabling better airflow into the fan. Elica has a more compact design resulting in slower airflow into the fan.
Noise level: the Victory hood has subjectively lower sound levels likely due to larger hood volume resulting in lower airspeeds even though more air is moved.
Lighting: Victory has significantly better lighting
