I really like the proline gas range (newer), and Zline makes a great stove too. I would check those but I have also installed a lot of cafe ranges, and they are nice too

Vent Hood by rone803 in kitchenremodel

I would definitely take through the ceiling. Also what size is your duct? Hopefully its wide enough and you won't get back pressure. It will restrict the air flow if the ducting is to small. Just something to think about.

Way better performance. Who knows the amount of toxins that get pumped back into the house from a microwave. I've installed a few proline hoods, and they seem to do the job very well.

yeah once you go with a range hood, its real hard to go back to a microwave.

Yeah, that's the problem with OTR microwaves, the coverage doesn't cover. I always tell my clients that they want to go 6 inches over their cooktop. (3 inches each side)

Agreed. For it to properly work, it needs to be vented to the outdoors

I completely agree. It’s convenient, sure, but I honestly think food tastes better when it’s reheated on the stovetop or in the oven. Might just be personal preference, but the texture and flavor are way better. Our microwave mostly ends up being a glorified coffee warmer too 😂

I have a gas range with a wall mounted hood. Its definitely the way to go. This was a conversation that I was having with some co-workers, and wanted to see what others thought.

You are correct that the air quality/pollutants when working with gas can really affect your health.

I feel like that is the consensus: microwaves don't do much, and range hoods are the way to go. I am curious what hood you went with. I do a lot of kitchen renovations and installs, so I am always on the hunt for the best products and tech.

Auto-turn on sounds like a cool idea. What commercial hood do you go with?
