The show How It's Made was showing how these are built. They take
the place
of the traditional hoods over stoves. Does anyone have one? I've
never heard of
these.

A son has one in his home. Never asked him how he likes it but it looks
strange to see the stove on a counter in the center of the kitchen
instead of up against a wall with a hood.

Had a Jenn-Air downdraft range for several years. Worked well.

But you need to have ample room underneath it and the floor to run the
exhaust duct to the outside. My kitchen is located over the garage so it
worked fine.

Jenn-Air was one of the first with it. A friend has one. Works better
than nothing, but not as good as an overhead vent system.

We just had one installed but a behind the range vs. built into it. It raises 14 inches up when turned on and at 600 cfm the inspector said it would cause a vacuum in the house and cause a problem with the furnace. We had to install an air exchanger to make up the air pulled out of the house.

Mom had a Jenn-Air indoor grill with the down draft. This unit was
mounted on a kitchen island. Grill steaks, burgers, yard bird, etc.
IIRC 1970. The stove & exhaust on a outside wall, near the sink.

It was a neat unit.

I have a Jenn-Air on a center island and that's my opinion too.
It works fairly well. It's certainly a lot better than one of the fake
over the range ones that put the air back in the house. You can see
it pulling in smoke. But it can't
pull all the smoke and odors in, because it's centrally located and
low. When I remodel, I will probably get one that comes down from the ceiling.
But they could be a good choice, depending on your needs and uses.

They also have ones now that pop up behind, how well they work, IDK.
I would suspect they would work better for the burners near them,
not so well for the front ones.

They got it in a box? I thought they had a towel or t-shirt wrapped around
it. Either way, it lays on it's side. :-)
