[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Totally disagree that hoods are only for large kitchens. I have a narrow galley kitchen and there's absolutely no way I'd live with a microwave over the range. The last thing I need when I'm trying to cook something on the range is to have my husband nuking his coffee or a kid heating up a burrito over my head.[/quote] 
The problem is that some kitchens are so small that you don't have anywhere to put the microwave if you have a hood.[/quote]

This. Mine stays over the range because there is nowhere else for it to go. I also would not be willing to give up the cabinets above the microwave, which would need to go of we put a hood in. Again, there is nowhere else for me to put the items I store up there. [/quote]
