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.

Purchased the retractable hood in hopes of preventing another ruined microwave control panel. After installation and performing a test run, I was amazed that … More the steam was actually deflected away from the microwave door and the control panel. The exhaust fans did their job.

It does as advertised. It is helping in blocking most of the smoke and directing towards the vent fan of the microwave. However, one thing which does not match … More with the product description is that the depth still leaves some part of the stove exposed by about 2 inches and some smoke does escape. The website says it fully covers the stove

Unfortunately I didn’t … More realize the microwave’s fan wasn’t powerful enough. Researching further, you’ll never find a microwave that’s as powerful as a hood fan. So I had two options -1.

We have an over the range microwave with a vented exhaust fan. Unfortunately, anything on the front burner that created any smoke at all would set up or smoke … More alarm. The hood extension has resolved that completely. Installation took minutes, and the stainless steel looks like part of the microwave. We could not be happier.

George, just received and installed your touted Microvisor retractable hood. It's every thing you said it would be, namely quality in construction. The … More rear attach magnet concept is ingenious!! Makes it a one guy operation…and if a soon to be 85 yr old guy can do it, anyone of moderate strength can! Do have one suggestion, the knurled height setting knobs would be easier to access/tighten if they were keyed for an Allen wrench....a small item in an otherwise superb design. Also, was impressed with packaging. Solid box, no dings or dents!! Again, as when I ordered, being able to watch the videos and correspond directly with you was/is a major plus. Take care...and “May the Force be with You” as sales for your splendid product take off!!

It only took a few minutes to install the bracket - four existing screws fit the bracket perfectly. No drilling. The hood slid into the bracket easily. I like … More the way it looks, and so far, my wife hasn't asked me to remove the hood when not in use. It doesn't protrude out far enough to help much for the front burners, but it works quite well for the back burners.

Installation is extremely easy. And the functionality of the hood extension is great.
I do however have one issue with the aesthetics.
I have what appears to … More be paint sags on the front drip edge. As shown in the attached image. It's not a huge issue at the moment, but if it starts to bother me, I can see myself sanding that down completely and trying to correct it.

The finish and fit are extraordinary. The corner brazing at the front is nearly imperceptible, with a fine polish on the view side. The holes line up with ease … More due to the long slots. I did swap out the mounting 3/4 inch screws for 1/2 inch ones, which had plenty of turns before bottoming out and tightening. I was not sure if going 3/4 inches into our microwave would get close to anything electrical inside. I am very impressed by the detail built into the visor. Smooth edges, very good stainless steel thickness, and a threaded knurled screw which locks the visor in place, once the receiving nut is engaged.
Finding the shorter screws took longer than installing the unit. The look is classy, and my wife is happy with its appearance and function.Pam W ★★★★★ 3 months ago

For the life of me, I don’t understand why these hoods are not included with every single microwave sold. It is absolutely beautiful it fits perfectly easy … More to install. The price was right I absolutely love it. I tell every single person that I know about it and I posted it on social media numerous times. I can’t believe I was just flipping through the Internet when I found it, thank you thank you thank you.

Excellent concept carried out until the installation step for those with adult size fingers to orient and guide the screws in what is close to a blind operation. … More A magnetic screwdriver or an alternative way to grip the screw and drive it would help. We solved the problem by making a thin washer out of stiff paper (greeting card stock) and inserting the screw through it to hold the screw in upright position to guide to the hole. We left a flap on the washer to grip with needle nose pliers to pull it out when the screw was safely started in the hole. For those using the provided spacers a threaded hole in the spacer would solve the problem.

Product is great but not easy to install. My micro might be a little lower than normal but trying to get the screws in was very difficult. Plus the new screws … More provided were bigger than the existing ones. Could not get two of the middle ones in at all. Tried using a drill with screw head adapter and ended up stripping the head. Still is halfway in and I can't get it out. Wish the instructions said to try screwing in the screws first to be sure they fit. Like I said the hood works well but the installation is not enjoyable.
