We are planning our kitchen renovation and I would like some feedback from people who might have a micro/vent hood over their stove.
We went to Lowes and found they have decent CFM, better than we have now. But, I am wondering how greasy they get and how easy they are to clean--there is a light there, and a lot of vent and metal. My current hood is just gross and I do clean it fairly often(and it is my major offering chore). I just see this kind being hard to keep clean. Is it?
Also, while my kids are older I do worry about them spilling hot stuff on them taking it down from the micro. Also, with a gas stovetop under it I worry about things(aprons, etc.) catching fire.
Our other option is to put a tad smaller micro in the island, but that has some disadvantages-being low and hard to see, I"m fairly tall.
Mom input would be appreciated.
Thanks.

We have one with a hood at our new house I don't love it. First of all, it is hard for me to clean because it is too high to get in there easily. Also, I don't think the hood does as good of a job as one on its own. That said, it is nice to have the counter space for other things! I really think you need to look at how you want things set up. They are very expensive to replace!!!
