MICROVISOR® manufactures a line of hood extensions designed to attach to a microwave over the range(OTR), and improve the exhaust functionality of the microwave. It was designed to complete the intended exhaust operation of the microwave over the range.
The intended use of the microwave over the range was to utilize cabinet space by incorporating an exhaust system/secondary heating source, and installing it in place of a more expensive exhaust hood. Microwaves over the range are approximately 15 inches deep, and all cook-tops/ranges are normally 26 inches deep. It is virtually impossible for an OTR microwave to exhaust the fumes from cooking on the front burners, due to it's design, and lack of CFM of airflow needed.
The MICROVISOR® projects forward of the microwave oven in order to capture the smoke, grease and odors. The Microvisor design that attaches to the microwave chassis in minutes. The MICROVISOR® is simply inserted into the bracket and removed by pulling it out when needed/or retracts based on model type. The MICROVISOR® line of microwave hood extensions fit 99% of the microwave over the range market, including model dating back 20 years.
Microvisor, has proven to capture up to 90% of the cooking fumes and odors produced while cooking on the front burners of a cook-top or stove. It prevents the smoke, grease and odors from spreading into your home, and reduces onset smoke alarms. Improve your microwave exhaust system by "capturing" more with MICROVISOR's line of products. Our MICROVISOR® products require no electric, and can be installed without a handy man.

I got a "MICROVISOR Retractable Extension Hood - Standard Size - Stainless Steel", to install under a KitchenAid KMHC319EBS microwave, and I am glad … More I did.Just a couple of glitches with the hardware:A tiny screw for the magnets was missing in the package, so I had to go visit Home Depot, and buy a bunch of them in a package.Then, the screws to install the front to the microwave in the package are thicker than what fits this microwave. Fortunately, I happened to find two in my garage.It does improve the extraction of vapors by the exhaust fan, and looks good under this microwave.Now that it's installed, it occurs to me that they should also offer the metal side pieces shown in the fourth picture here, which could be attached with strong magnets (or screwed) to the outer side of the bars of the extension hood to help keep vapors from escaping.For my taste, a curved line, and round corners, instead of the triangular shape, and pointy corners of the one in the picture, would look better.If you come up with it, please let me know.Thanks!

I am pleasantly surprised how well this works. We replaced our cooktop several yrs ago. The old one vented outside. Contractor said that was no longer necessary. … More Any time I'd do alot of heavy cooking the food odor clung in the house for days. This item pretty much solved the problem!

We had externally vented our microwave but even with the fan running it would still trigger the smoke alarm when cooking certain things.

We installed an over the stove microwave during a kitchen renovation where we previously had an old Nutone Range Hood. Even though it’s vented outside I didn’t … More realize how poor the ventilation would be when using the front burners. The steam was getting the microwave wet as well as the cabinets. I was searching the internet when I came upon Microvisor. I read the reviews and thought I would give it a try. I’m very pleased so far. It doesn’t eliminate all of the steam from rising up above the stove when using the front burners but I would say it’s been improved by 80%. It was easy to install and the black looks great with my Whirlpool stove and microwave. Definitely worth the investment and I would recommend to anyone having the same issue.

Made a huge difference for my microwave hood, which had never formally been vented properly. After carving a vent into my ceiling and roof, adding this retractable … More hood extender, which was a game changer. It really does eddy the vapor and smoke back towards the airpull afforded by the microwave vent fans. It performs as I had hoped and despite the price I am happy with the entire experience. Install was very easy, and the entire thing looks like it was an original part of the microwave. My wife has not complained!!

Removable Hood- quality product and packaging. Installation was VERY simple, unit looks good and I will test performance tonight. If you wonder about the … More hood obscuring your vision of the cooktop see my photos, not a problem for me- the close-up pic was taken at eye level and at working distance from the cooktop. The bottom of my microwave unit is 20" above the cooktop surface. My only comment on the design: I feel two thumbscrews- one near each end of the mounting bracket- that actually secure the hood to bracket would enhance the firmness/stability of the installation; a very minor issue however.

It was an easy install and does improve smoke removal. However, it is not wide enough to fully cover the front burners. 6 inches more would have been great. … More Smoke will still get into your house when firing up a steak but it’s better than without the extension,

Great product for above-range microwaves. Our first one arrived with a dent (not a manufacturing error; it was due to shipping), and we called on Labor Day … More to leave a message.

I love the looks of this hood! It makes my stove/microwave area look more upscale. Microwave bottoms always look so unfinished, and mine sat about 1" above … More the bottom of my cabinets. This fills in that space beautifully! I bought the hood to cut down on the amount of grease that gets on my microwave and the cabinet above it, and honestly I can't speak to that yet. It hasn't been up long enough to tell if it is cutting down on the grease. But the install was super easy and it looks awesome!

We have a over the range microwave that came with the home we purchased. We wanted to replace our microwave with a dedicated exhaust fan because the microwave … More vent missed most of the cooking smoke from the stove since we cooks on the front of the stove.The retractable solution we bought completely took care of the issue for us. Because it extends over the front of the range, it catches the smoke and steam and pushes it back to the microwave exhaust to get it out of our house. We have been so happy with the solution and avoided a costly upgrade to the house. Totally worth it!

I bought this after purchasing a new microwave. The previous one had lost its appeal due to steam and frying foods ( not why I replaced it) and I didn’t want … More that to happen to the new one. To be honest I would have preferred the retractable one but it looked a little complicated. This one was fairly simple to install. I gave it four stars because I just got it and it’s not retractable however there is little doubt it want do the job as advertised.

We ordered the Microvisor Hood for our over the stove microwave. We always had issues with steam from food on the stove rolling up the front of the microwave … More that the fan would not catch. The Microvisor Hood has eliminated that completely!
The product is very well made, fits perfectly and is easily installed. The Hood can be left on or removed and put on when needed, which I is nice option to have.
As a retired weldor/fabricator I am impressed with the finish on the components and the perfect fit.

Excellent product! Dramatically improved my Samsung Smart Slim OTR exhaust hoods performance. It literally collects all the smoke and steam from the front burner … More cookware even with the AC blowing on high. Combined with the OTR’s 550 CFM exhaust fan this rig outperforms most hood-only rigs I’ve installed over the years. Great quality stainless hood extension, excellent overall build quality, and super easy fast installation. This is a “must-have” item for all serious kitchens.
