[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is all about space. In a small kitchen, I much prefer a microwave over the stove. If it vents outside, it works pretty well. A hood might look prettier or more current for photos, but it means the microwave is somewhere else taking up space. If your kitchen is big, sure! Do a hood and put it somewhere else. I think when it became the fashion, developers and flippers started putting hoods in small houses and it is just not practical. But when they’re shopping, people don’t think about where the microwave is going to go or whether they will have enough cabinet space. Or where the trash and recycling cans will be. Etc. [/quote] Although functional, vent hoods are trendy and being pushed by the usual suspects like HGTV. If you aren't a big cook, a microwave vent/fan is good enough (still sucks though).[/quote]
