We are soon to begin renovating an old kitchen in existing space….not so much room or money but it could be worse. As I am researching and deciding on ranges, etc., I realize I had forgotten about an over-the-range hood. There is not enough $ for outside exhaust, nor do I want to tear up even more walls; I figured an over-the-range hood was the choice but now I see many people not even using them, including a friend who is the greatest cook I know. Any input? I do not want to get one built in to a microwave; I do cook a lot but not much microwaving (although I suppose we’ll keep one on the countertop).
Thanks for the help….
