Was checking out the Expo Design Center which is a high end store by Home
Depot they are closing all the stores.

I found a Thermador HGSW36TS range hood. Originally priced at $1799. But
because it's missing the duct cover in the front as well as the filter (the
metal doors) that sits on the underside of the hood, it's marked down to
$1299 then to $900 then to $400. And now due to store closing it's 30% off
that so it's $280.

No returns no exchange no refunds. Have no idea if it works no way to test
it.

Trying to decide if it's worth the risk.

Searched Thermador says it's a discontinued product but I did managed to get
a parts list.
