We are remodeling our kitchen and the stove will be relocated. When
range hood ducting was mentioned the sales person suggested getting a
microwave-range hood combination and no ducting would be required. It
blows through a filter and then back into the kitchen.

Does anyone have experience with this type of arrangement and what
are your comments.

I had one. It sucked. Or, rather, it failed to suck. It was just
like having
nothing at all. We got rid of it and ducted out through the roof.

I couldn't be happier with it. Cooking smells and excess heat and
steam
actually leave the house now instead of just rolling around the HVAC
system.

Venting outside also doesn't set off the smoke alarm...


Hi,
It all depends how heavily the oven is used. If it is used for regular
cooking often, it's bad idea. Any Smoke, grease, and smell. Yuch!
