Kitchens should have external vented Range Hoods for several reasons and should be put on your "To Do List" for a fall project when the attic is not hot. Be proactive and protect your home.

It's not as powerful as I thought it would be, but it works very well. ru-vid.comUgkxGjG43--gYqIoT4Xkur2PqCrtbKwTv2h There are three options to circulate air, and best of all a remote control for us lazy people. Installation was a breeze (no pun intended). It actually took longer to open the box then it did putting the side extenders on and sitting it in the window opening. It's a perfect alternative when you want airflow, but not the AC. Just might order another one for a different room. UPDATE: Bought another one like I said. They work great. Why not have two...

Wow, that was sooooo informative!! Thank you so much!! Our 5 year old microwave that was installed above the stove gave out this week. We bought the house three years ago and several times the microwave would overheat and we'd need to unplug. It wasn't until we took it down that we realized that there was definitely no proper ventilation. This was helpful, thank you for sharing, we'll be needing to do this right here soon.

@ix.cryo1 3 года назад

I recommend range hoods from Hauslane, Tatsumaki, Sakura and Pacific. Filterless range hoods with dual blowers will always give you the best performance and suction.

Have same issue in a new build house, looking to make a hole in the wall , looking to see if the microwave is convertible and how can we use it to push the air out..tnx

@TxHoneyBee Год назад

Hello there. I'm doing a new build, and the house by default comes with a range hood. To add a microwave with outside ventilation is an 'upgrade'. I'm not convinced that a microwave is worth removing the vented range hood. I barely use my microwave anyway (currently renting) because I cook from scratch or reheat in the oven 9 times out of 10.

@leafyutube 3 года назад

So then why are internal range hoods even available for purchase?

@shayannesmith3953 10 месяцев назад

This was great valuable info. Thank you. I live in Florida which is twice as much humid than Alabama, I guess. We bought a brand new townhouse with this exact same problem and I have the microwave exhaust ranger and want to get rid of it. Can you tell us a today’s average price to run a regular hood range exhauster in a kitchen

@southernhometalk2465 10 месяцев назад

Its going to very depending on the range hood you pick and the amount of labor it will take to run it to the exterior. Lowes and Home Depot may have contractors they subcontract out, providing you get the range hood from one of them. Here is one of two episodes on this channel of the Vista Range Hood I installed. If you have a contractor install yours. I recommend not paying any upfront money and that they install it correctly. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-csliUahuCyg.html

@Craigthepope 3 года назад

Sounds like the local building code needs to be updated. I live in a hot humid southern environment and the building code here also doesn't require kitchens and baths to have an exhaust fan. Usually only a window is required. Which is absurd because no one is going to be keeping their windows open in August.

@southernhometalk2465 3 года назад

Many people believe that "Code" is maximum standard, when in reality it is usually the lowest standard.

This always drives me crazy 😠 what really bothers me is when they put the refrigerator on the exterior wall side of the kitchen and the stove on the interior wall. It really doesn’t make any logical sense to me at all 😒

@ChristopherShawnPike 3 года назад

Yes , but some situtions you just can not vent to outside, and management will not allow you to install in a condo..... If you CAN NOT install a vent there HAS to be an alternative.... We can't just say NEVER use a ductless system. Does anyone have recommendations on the best system if you can NOT install a duct to outside? Thanks so much.

@southernhometalk2465 3 года назад

I have inspected Condo Buildings that have external ventilation and some that did not. External Ventilation should be installed in Buildings. In addition to moisture, range hoods need to vent Heat, and Smoke. I don t know of any recirculating system that can mitigate all 3.

@ChristopherShawnPike 3 года назад

@@southernhometalk2465 induction tops reduce heat by a larger percentage. Charcoal filters remove smoke and odour. Either stainless steel or aluminum filter take care of grease. It can be done. In some countries it is very normal to go ductless. Not as common here but still happens.

@utube9000 Год назад

Question - it is okay to just vent the heat up into the attic? I'm going to be replacing my roof in a few years and don't want to go though the hassle of running it out my roof. Will vent into the attic for a few years cause a problem?

@southernhometalk2465 Год назад

I do not recommend venting Bath or Kitchen fans into the attic. Doing so will increase the risk of mold and grease from kitchen exhaust may make your structure vulnerable to fire.

How worthwhile is an externally vented microwave as opposed to a range hood? Worth the effort?

An externally vented Microwave may just as effective.

Most say the CFM'S on microwaves are too weak. However, current ICC, as I understand, requires make-up air for CFM's over 400 CFM.

So what’s the solution… remove the microwave… I have basically the same setup… but my kitchen wall faces my outside driveway

@southernhometalk2465 Год назад

I removed my microqave and replaced it with this range hood. The microwave did not have enough exhaust power to properly ventilate the kitchen.

@clutch5sp989 Год назад

Imagine 400-800 cfm of heat & AC being pumped out of your house during exhaust fan operation. Clothes dryers suck almost 1000 cfm and that fert fan above the toilet sucks 400 cfm of ferty air easy. That's probably more cfm you heat & air unit is capable of conditioning.

@castloader1715 7 дней назад

External vents should be required by code. Period. The fact that they’re not required is completely ridiculous.

@jerryporter4898 3 года назад

Unfortunately the way many of the kitchens are designed it’s not possible to do any kind of venting. Especially after the fact. Our microwave is on an internal wall and it was never designed to have any kind of a venting, so it’s impossible to do it now.

@southernhometalk2465 3 года назад

Any time I perform an inspection, I usually point this out in my report. Most new houses in my area do not come with external vented range hoods. It may be possible to add a ventilation fan in the ceiling or wall.

@mr.2385 3 года назад

this is not real vented range hood... this is just a fan and cant do anything while cooking..... enjoy the smoke in your house if you had this kind of fan hood...
