Agreed . Unless it ' s a massive plantation , farmers today are scraping by even with subsidies . Rural areas where I used to visit family when I was young are now practically ghost towns . The aging farmer population is not getting replaced by their children because their kids don ' t want to work hard to be poor . How about we stop subsidizing CHURCHES billions of $$$' s , big banks billions of $$$' s , the top 1 % billions of $$$' s ? That would flush way more money into the economy than keeping a farmer 1 away from foreclosure . <| sep |> I understand that most of the grease is atomized . I can literally see the range hood suck it up . I ' m only getting grease splattering at most a few inches around . It is reasonable for to expect some of it to venture off and end up in other areas of the house but as far as getting oil all over my furniture , fixtures or walls granted I ' m not frying chickens on a daily basis but I ' m just not having issues to the extent you are describing after 8 months of regular use . I believe my hood is only 625 cfm , half of the power that your hood has yet it seems there are other factors at play here . Thank you for taking the time to elaborate futher on Your experience . I can only attest to my own and am in no way discrediting yours . Good discussion here .
