The fume hood/microwave above the stove combos that seem to be standard now are terrible. They vent poorly and clog quickly. The microwave internals don't leave enough room for a wide vent, and the ventilation is shared by the microwave (which also means the microwave dies when it clogs).
- SoftTalker 2y agoThey also often don't actually vent externally, they just cycle the air through a mesh (and maybe a carbon) filter and exhaust it back into the room.
- dzhiurgis 2y agoThat’s a requirement if you build European energy grade A+++ house (which is a minimum in LT) - can’t just be pulling warm air out and replacing with cold one (idk maybe an HRV can compensate for it).

- dzhiurgis 2y agoI think HRV is also mandatory (plenty of old homes are retrofitted too).
