An island hood like the DA2450 usually has a longer duct run than a wall hood, because the air has to travel through the ceiling void to an outside wall. That extra length and its bends eat into the fan’s capability. An island hood that has never extracted well, from the day it was installed, is far more likely describing its ducting than its motor – and no amount of filter cleaning will change that.
