In addition to the traditional range hood mounted above your cooking surface, there are also microwave-hood combinations that do double duty and downdraft ventilation systems that rise up from the countertop when needed. Read on to see if one of these alternatives from Whirlpool brand is the right choice for you.
People who need to fit in more function above their range might be interested in a Whirlpool Over-the-Range Microwave with built-in recirculating ventilation. If you’re limited on space, consider a low profile microwave hood combination, a two-in-one solution that fits in the same space as an under cabinet hood.1 As with traditional hoods, remember to pair the size of your venting solution with your cooktop size.
If you don’t like the look of a hood or your cooking surface is installed in an island, Whirlpool Downdraft Ventilation is also an option that helps maintain clean lines in open-concept kitchens. Just make sure that your downdraft vent is rated to keep up with your cooktop.
