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.

You already know the answer. The OTR is acceptable, but will never equal
or better a good hood. It is a compromise, one that we are willing to make
because we don't have enough counterspace for a MW. Ours is a GE convection
oven MW and is very handy to have.
