Hi. I was wondering if anyone can help me in determining the how effective
the OTR microwave is in taking away smoke/odor/grease compared to the vent
hood. I know that that hood is far superior to the microwave in all respects.
We will have a vent that leads outside of the house. We are leaning towards
the microwave only because it saves us a lot of space. We are wondering what
is the maximum amount of burners used for the over the range microwave to
work at its Maximum effectiveness to remove the smoke/smell/grease.

Thank you so very much for your time.

Happy New Year!


Get one with a high CFM rating. I have one with 6 speeds on it. Use
the "2" setting for regular cooking and 6 will clear the entire
kitchen in a few minutes (with lots of noise). The microwave above
the stove is very convenient and easy on the spinal column.
