I ended up buying an Ancona 800CFM from Costco for around $700 I was fairly limited in my options as I need a pedestal hood as my range is floating in the middle of the island but I’m completely happy with the Ancona and have zero complaints. I ran new 8” ducting for it when my ceiling was open and it very effectively pulls smoke etc. Out it also has stainless removable grills that are kind of like quasi restaurant grade and super easy to clean
I purchased my Kitchenaid suite from Bestbuy with their extended geek squad warantee for another $650 for 5 years which seemed fairly reasonable.
The only issue I’ve ever had is the igniter on my range has not worked for a year or so but I lost my receipts, I ended up going back into best buy and they reprinted them for me and I’m in the process of making a claim to have them repaired. We will see how the service goes though because so far it’s been a headache.
I’d stay as far away as you can from Samsung dishwasher. We built a townhouse project in 2012 that had Samsung DW, before the entire project was even complete I think we had swapped out almost 60 of these out of the total 120 units in the development.

Gooooood choice that you went with 8inch duct!!
I told all my client who is building single family house to have 8 inch duct. (Except 10inch for dual blowers)
Perfect for air to go out without bottleneck.
FYI, one of the Samsung Dishwasher batch has got their door lock mechanisms installed all backwards. It caused a lot issue back in few years ago.
I still don't understand how can they make such mistake and shipped products out.
