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.

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.

So I really liked this idea after installing a micro above the stove. A bit pricey too. Easy to install and is mostly well built. Functions easy open/close. … More What I dont like is when you push it in if not needed it blocks the light and exhaust fan port. So you are forced to use it all the time open. With this in mind I dont think the fact it closes at all is needed. A design that is just an extension would be just as usable and less expensive ?

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!!
