I missed your question, Jasen, about what I'm attempting to achieve. 1) Over the range waves extend about 16". They don't effectively push air out and it ends up rising straight up to the cabinets and leaving a film. The range hoods I'm looking at extend 20-23 inches. The microwave shroud is not deep enough (extend far enough) to suck in all cooking steam as well - it all rises to the cabinet surfaces above. This should help. 2) More appealing appearance. I rarely if at all use the microwave, may try to craigslist it. | |

| Nov 22, 2020 at 1:39 | comment | added | Bob M | Steve, thanks but in this kitchen design there is no gap above the kitchen cabinets, thus no wiggle room to make it similarly work. As well the cabinets end about 3' from the wall where the refrigerator sits so unless the ducts are buried into the wall behind the ceiling it would be exposed. Thanks anyway. | |
